hi i was just wondering, since hidden power is a physical attack, what if the type of hidden power is a special type? for example, my mightyena has a psychic hidden power so would hidden power still be a physical attack or would it change to a special attack?

also if i use substitute on a pokemon then baton pass it, would the substitute have 1/4 of the hp of the first or second pokemon?

Hidden power in advanced is based on the type (ie, psychic is special, and fighting is physical).
However, if counter/mirror coat is involved, counter will always work, mirror coat will always fail (Note: This will result in your Zapdos being KOd by a donphan countering HP Grass/Ice).

Substitute will have 1/4 of the original pokemon's hp. Or whatever's left of the sub.

o ty then, well looks like hidden powers useless on my mightyena xD question anwsered, feel free to lock up the thread.

Like, oh my god! There's another question topic! I'm so tired of seeing these! Next time, use the question thread!

o sorry about that i didnt see it >.> still pretty new here so yea.....
