Hidden Power type...

[Nixperience]

How do you change Hidden Power's type?Like Ice for example.

 

[Unknown Egg]

You can't. It's like the Pokémon's IVs.

 

[ellie]

It's dependant on IV's, which are set as soon as you encounter a Pokemon. You can't "change" it unless you create a new Pokemon of the same species.

 

[Nixperience]

So,what IV's would I need for HP Ice?

 

[[Senor_Tom]]

just get a pokemon...use the iv calc...and u can get the HP from that

 

[ellie]

A note, don't use SPP's calculator, it messes up often. Use Metalkid's after an IV battle.

If you want HP Ice with the best power, you need these (or some other combos, but these are best):
31/30/30/31/31/31
31/31/31/30/31/31
30/30/30/31/31/31

HP/Atk/Def/Spd/SAtk/SDef

or you can battle someone and see if it is ice type.

 

[[Senor_Tom]]

can sum1 explain an IV battle?

I know what IVs are as i breed a lot for perfect team...but never understood that

 

[Laser Shuckle]

there battles that are held for the sole purpose of checking your poke's IV's

 

[ellie]

What you have to do is go into a level 100 single battle on wifi with the Pokemon whose IV's you want checked in your party. While in battle, write down the Pokemon's stats. When you're done writing, turn off the game. Then, input the level 100 stats into a calculator, and you'll have the IV's.

If you want to check the type of the Hidden Power right away without a calculator, go fight a Kecleon and see what type it becomes if you hit it with Hidden Power. But it only works if it doesn't faint.. otherwise, go check the calculator, input the Pokemon's level, stats, and EVs, and there you go.

 

[morefirepokemon]

u cant change it, it depends on what the ivs are then and will never change, use the calculator to find out what it is and when itll change

 

[kinglax]

you cant. Its all in the pokemons IVs
