As there are 6 IVs, ranging from 0 to 31 (32 in total), the number of different possible Hidden Powers should be 32<sup>6</sup>=2<sup>30</sup>, which is more than one billion possibilities. But let us consider two Pokémon with one different IV: | As there are 6 IVs, ranging from 0 to 31 (32 in total), the number of different possible Hidden Powers should be 32<sup>6</sup>=2<sup>30</sup>, which is more than one billion possibilities.

As we see, both 26 and 30 are divisible by 2 and give the remainder of 2 when divided by 4. So, in both cases the algorithms will interpret the IVs of those Pokémon in the same way, returning Grass-type Hidden Power with 70 power. It means that for the mentioned algorithms an IV of 30 is treated in the same way like IVs of 2,6,10,14,18,22 and 26 (8 in total). | As we see, both 26 and 30 are divisible by 2 and give the remainder of 2 when divided by 4.
