In other words: only four IVs that give different remainders when divided by four would cover all possible Hidden Power types and powers.

If so, the number of possible Hidden Powers should be 4<sup>6</sup> = 4096. This number, however is again far too large, as the real number of possible variations of Hidden power is simply 16*41=656, as Hidden Power exists in 16 types and has 41 different powers. The significant difference between 656 and 4096 is explained by the fact that the floor function results in distinct values (e.g. 10.952 and 10.476) being mapped to the same integer result (in this case 10).
