Hidden Power Identifier Kanto
“The Hidden Power Identifier NPC allows players to determine the type of the move Hidden Power for one of their Pokémon. Since the type of Hidden Power depends on a Pokémon’s individual values (IVs), it is normally not obvious without external tools or testing in battle. This NPC provides a clear and reliable way to identify the Hidden Power type directly in-game.”

In Generation 6 the base power is always 60 — only the type changes.

How it works

Every Pokémon has six hidden IVs (Individual Values, 0–31), one per stat. For Hidden Power, only the last binary digit of each IV matters — in plain terms, whether that IV is even (0) or odd (1).

Those six 0/1 values are read in a fixed order and weighted, then scaled onto the 16 possible types:

type = ⌊ ( a·1 + b·2 + c·4 + d·8 + e·16 + f·32 ) × 15 ÷ 63 ⌋
a=HP  b=Attack  c=Defense  d=Speed  e=Sp.Atk  f=Sp.Def  (each 1 if the IV is odd, else 0)

The upshot: a fully perfect Pokémon (all IVs 31, all odd) always has Dark Hidden Power. To hit a specific type you deliberately drop certain IVs to even numbers (usually 30) — which is why competitive spreads sometimes list an odd-looking IV like 30.

All 16 Types & Their IV Spreads

Each type comes from a specific odd/even pattern of the six IVs. Below is the highest-value spread for every type — keep stats at 31, and drop the red ones to 30. The type your values above produce is highlighted.
