Bleh. Got my perfect 5 IV Roselia and it's Hidden Power is Dark. Sure, it's good to use against Psychic types, which Roserade is weak to, but it probably wouldn't put much of a dent in them anyway. Maybe I'll just run Sleep Powder instead.

If you want a different Hidden Power type you shouldn't go for 5 perfect IV's. The IV's are what determine its type.

If you run technician it'll hurt them quite a bit. :p

Yeah, I'm not too aware of how IVs affect Hidden Power, so I was just checking all my offsprings' HP type after they hatched, and none were Fire. My 5 IV Roselia came first, so I decided to go with that. It's not exactly a deal breaker, but would've been nice.

Somehow I got an HP Ice Eevee with good IVs for a Jolteon, wasn't so lucky this time.

Natural Cure + Rest tho.

Shadow Ball is better than HP Dark.
Unless you're running Technician.

I'm honestly finding it very hard to fit rest in my moveslot. I really want spikes + sleep powder + leaf storm + sludge bomb.

You're luckier at HP than me. I always get fucking dragon. :(

Dark, Dragon, and Ice are perhaps the easiest to aim for in game.

Oooh. That.. sounds like a pain. But it's informative. How would I go about getting the other types? Is there a site with a rundown of that?

That one comes up a lot for me too!
You can use this. http://www.psypokes.com/dex/hp.php

Keep in mind though that it's a tool for previous gens before hidden power was reworked. basically what' you're aiming for is odd and even IV values so it doesn't have to be a 30 if you need an even number

EDIT: This site has the formula http://www.smogon.com/bw/moves/hidden_power

When the IV judge says "But you won't get anywhere fast with this low of a Speed stat..." that means the speed IV is 0 right? I don't want to go through the trouble of getting it onto a Reuniclus if its not 0.

Yes. That message will only play for a stat of exactly zero.
