Why Hidden Power Matters
Hidden Power is a special move in Ultra Moon. Its type depends on the odd or even nature of each IV. That makes it useful when a Pokémon needs coverage that its usual move list lacks. The calculator reads the six IV values and turns them into parity bits. It then follows the Ultra Moon type order.
How IV Parity Works
Each stat has an IV from zero to thirty one. Odd IVs count as one. Even IVs count as zero. HP, Attack, Defense, Speed, Special Attack, and Special Defense use different weights. Their weighted sum is scaled to one of sixteen possible types. Normal and Fairy are not available. In this generation, the move has fixed base power.
Planning Better Spreads
A competitive spread may need exact Speed, bulk, or attack numbers. Hidden Power can force one or more IVs to be even. That can lower a stat by one point at level one hundred. This tool helps you see that trade quickly. You can compare the current result with a target type. The parity hint shows which IVs may need odd or even values.
Using Results Safely
The output is a guide for planning. It does not judge nature, ability, held item, or battle format. Those choices still matter. Use the example table to compare common spreads. Export the result when you want a record for breeding notes, team sheets, or testing logs. CSV works well for spreadsheets. PDF is better for sharing a clean snapshot.
Practical Checks
Start with the IVs shown by your judge feature. Enter each value carefully. A single odd or even change can alter the type. If your current spread misses the target, read the parity suggestion. Then decide whether the stat loss is acceptable. For Special Attack users, Hidden Power Ice, Fire, Ground, and Electric are common checks. The best choice depends on your team. Balance type coverage with the numbers your Pokémon needs most.
Keep one saved version before editing IVs. Compare old and new spreads side by side. This helps you avoid losing a useful benchmark. It also makes breeding goals clearer when several parents share similar values across boxes and notes during team testing sessions.
