Hidden Power is a unique move whose type and power are variable, depending on the user's Individual Values (IVs). It has a base power of 60 and 100% accuracy. Hidden Power can potentially be of any type (except Fairy in Generation VI onwards) and is often used strategically to cover weaknesses or exploit the opponent's vulnerability. Despite its fixed base power, its versatility makes it a valuable move in competitive play. Hidden Power was particularly notable before Generation VIII, as it provided many Pokémon with coverage moves they otherwise wouldn't have access to.
