laggless01 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Hi, I was checking my Hidden Power types in Apophyll, and the result was a bit surprising and jarring. I let him inspect a Roselia with an IV set typical for HP Fire (31/16/31/30/31/30, top to bottom in summary), after which he told me it had HP Dark. When I checked other mons, there were mismatches as well when I compared with a reliable IV calculator on the web. Has the way Hidden Power is determined changed, or is something else going on?

I'm not sure about any formula, but in the Circus there's a way to change the Hidden Power Type. Don't know if that's available anywhere else. Changing IVs manually does not affect Hidden Power notably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laggless01 Posted April 20, 2022 Author Share Posted April 20, 2022 Ah, so its typing has been decoupled from IVs, then. That's good to know, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centauris91 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I think it's to accommodate Hidden Power Fairy, which can't be obtained Legitimately in mainstream Pokémon games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rejuvenation changed the formula so that Fairy works with Hidden Power. More likely its just to make IV calculations unnecessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
