E18 - Technician isn't boosting Hidden Power

Recommended Posts

So, I have a Roserade with the ability Technician and with the move Hidden Power Ice. I noticed that Hidden Power wasn't dealing much damage so I switched the Roserade's ability to test and the damage didn't change, meaning that Hidden Power isn't getting boosted by technician when it should since it's a 60 base power move.

Hidden Power iirc has actually got a varying base power that can be ABOVE 60 or below it.

Drakyle is correct, though this could technically still be considered as a bug because in Gen 6 and 7, Hidden Power was changed to be fixed at 60 power. it really just depends on whether or not Ame and the team want to keep the old one or not.

That's why I created this post, considering the game uses gen VII battle mechanics. The tooltip for Hidden Power even states it has 60 base power.

i looked at the hidden power stat on one of my pokemon it isn't fixed on 60 so i doubt it was kept. i have a dusk lycanroc whose ase power is 59 while this is the base power of my Milotic's hidden power: https://gyazo.com/57babe6283ad83dd9e00ca46659c5263
