1. What is Psypoke Power?

Psypoke Power is a calculated value in Pokémon games that determines the base power of certain moves based on the individual values (IVs) of the Pokémon. It's part of the Hidden Power move mechanics.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Psypoke Power formula:

Where:

• \( p, q, r, s, t, u \) — IV bits (0 or 1) derived from a Pokémon's IVs
• Each letter represents a binary digit from the IVs
• The formula calculates a value between 30 and 70

Explanation: The formula combines the IV bits with different weights to determine the Hidden Power's base power.

3. Importance of Psypoke Power

Details: Understanding Psypoke Power helps Pokémon trainers optimize their Hidden Power moves for competitive battles, as it affects the move's damage output.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter each IV bit (p through u) as either 0 or 1. These bits are derived from your Pokémon's individual values (IVs) for each stat.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How do I get the IV bits from my Pokémon's IVs?
A: Each IV bit is the least significant bit (odd/even) of the corresponding IV stat (HP, Attack, Defense, etc.).

Q2: What's the range of possible Psypoke Power values?
A: The base power can range from 30 to 70, in integer increments.

Q3: Does this affect Hidden Power's type?
A: No, this only calculates the base power. Hidden Power's type is determined by a different IV calculation.

Q4: Which Pokémon games use this formula?
A: This formula applies to generations 3 through 5 of the main series Pokémon games.

Q5: Can I get a Psypoke Power of 70?
A: Yes, but only with specific IV combinations that maximize the formula's result.
