Anyone uses Hidden Power? Does it use S.Attk or something else?

It uses special attack, but the base power of the move varies just as it's type. There's a man on the pokemon center on Mistralton City that tells you the type of the pokemon's Hidden Power but not it's base power.

All in all I rarely used Hidden Power given that even at it's peak power, 70, it's not that big of a move.

Well, it could be useful to cover your weakness.

I.E. My Lilil is a grass type and hidden power is ground type. The ground type would be useful to cover its weakness without have to switch-out. But I read that the stat that is use is not based on S.Attk.
