Bug with Hidden Power - Base Power 50, not 60

[Kaminokage]

Hello,

 

Following this post: https://pokemonrevolution.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=98&t=52447

I would like to report a bug with Hidden Power, the Base Power is assumed to be 60, but it's 50.

The player HiddenAbility noticed a bug, when he attacks Scizzor with Hidden Power Fire (on Magnezone), he should OHKO him, but in reality, Hidden Power never OHKO him.

 

So, i did some tests, you can find it in the following post. But i will resume here.

 

To calculate the HP lost, we use this expression :

It comes from Pokepedia in French. But i think PRO uses the same calculation for HP lost.

 

PV perdus = [2+((Niv*0,4+2)*Att*Pui)/(Def*50)]*CM

HP Lost = [2+((Lv*0,4+2)*SPATK*Power)/(SPDEF*50)]*CM

After some changes, the expression for Power is :

Power = [(SPDEF*50)*((HP Lost/CM)-2)]/((Lv*0,4+2)*SPATK)

 

I have now the expression to determinate the Base Power of Hidden Power, so i need to test in reality the hp lost.

 

I used this Magnezone to do it :

This Magnezone is HP Fire 68, so :

- If Hidden Power has a Base Power on IVs, he will hit with 68 Base Power.

- If Hidden Power has a Base Power of 60, he will hit with 60 Base Power.

 

The first attacks on Gyarados (SPDEF = 244) makes him lost 32 hp. I have all variable for the expression before :

- HP Lost : 32.

- Lv : 100.

- SPATK : 376.

- SPDEF : 244.

- CM : depends on STAB, weakness of target, critical hits, ability, items, weather, and a random number between 0,85 and 1.

My Magnezone is Electric/Steel, so no STAB on Hidden Power Fire, it's not a critical hit, Magnezone has no ability to affect the dammages (same for Gyarados), no item, no weather. Gyarados' weakness to Fire is 1/2. The only issue to calculate Power is the random number between 0,85 and 1.

 

So, i do the calculation :

Power = [(SPDEF*50)*((HP Lost/CM)-2)]/((Lv*0,4+2)*SPATK)

Power = [(244*50)*((32/CM)-2)]/((100*0,4+2)*376)

Power = [(244*50)*((32/CM)-2)]/((100*0,4+2)*376)

Power = [(12200)*((32/CM)-2)]/(15792)

 

If the random number is :

- 0,85 , so CM = 0,425 , and Power = [(12200)*((32/0,425)-2)]/(15792) = 56,62

- 0,925 , so CM = 0,4625 , and Power = [(12200)*((32/0,4625)-2)]/(15792) = 51,91

- 1 , so CM = 0,5 , and Power = [(12200)*((32/0,5)-2)]/(15792) = 47,9

 

I find a Base Power between 47,9 and 56,62 , when it's assumed to to be 60 or 68. So, Hidden Power has a bug.

 

To be sure, i did the same with more attacks :

 

And i used a other pokemon to do the same :

Hidden Power is : Grass 51.

 

I find an average power of 49,29 and 49,12. Why it's 49,29 and 49,12 in average ? It's because when HP Lost are calculate, the HP are truncate, so i "lose a part of data" in real tests. In fact, the average is more around 50 than 49.

 

In conclusion, Hidden Power has not a power of 60 it should be, but it's not between 30 and 70 like the others generations. Hidden Power has a Base Power of 50.

It's a bug because it supposes to be 60 and when we look at the description we see 60.

Staff please address this to Shane. This is a big deal, and there wasn't an official response on the PvP topic on this.

I posted that bug a week ago, and HiddenAbility noticied it the 31 october 2016. Can we have an answer from a member of the staff? Even if it's "we don't know".

We need to know if it's a real bug, or a nerf of Hidden Power :Grin:

 

If it's a choice to nerf it, that changes our choices when we build our PKM, Hidden Power at 50 Base Power is pretty useless for a no stab move :Shocked:

For some reason all hidden powers base power is 50, even if you found one to be 30 it will be 50.

The power is fixed at 60 since gen 6 and that's how it is here. At least how it's supposed to be. So you can't have 30-70bp anyway.

He means in pro its 50 for some reason(bug?) i dont know cause if you see the calcs of Kami 68 bp mag= 49,2 average 51 bp medicham=49,1 average asuming it could be locked to 50~ in pro :/

i would like to ask if there "damage rolls" in this game, i don't know if i was clear... i guess i can't explain it in english..but i believe the damage takes always the same hp...

Yes that's what he means. Instead of 60bp, it's locked to 50bp here.
