Hidden Power

[gtippett]

Here's an interesting question that came up recently in my SS Game. Just for fun, i gave my Raikou hidden Power, and it turned out to be Fighting Type, and quite strong too. Not only that, but its move type is special, and my Raikou's SpAtt is a good bit higher than his Att. This turned out to be a GREAT help on Victory Road, as i was easily one hitting all the Gravelers, Ryhorn, Onyx, and Ursarings, most of which would normally give an electric type a lot of trouble. Anyway, my question is this: Hidden Power is a Normal Type Move, but if i wanted to boost it a little would i use a Silk Scarf or a Black Belt? In other words, in the final damage calculation, does it count as a normal attack or fighting? Thanks

go ahead and let it hold black belt or fist plate.

hidden power should be ??? type. there is no normal type for hidden power. the max the power is 70. of course this attack is purely special attack.
