Is it true that a Pokémon with HP Dark has perfect IVs?

I was reading in a few places, but I never found a definitive answer. My Florges in Y knows Hidden Power, and it’s Dark. Does that mean that it has perfect IVs?

Okay I’ll simplify this:

Noa Pokémon with Hidden Power Dark will not necessarily have “perfect” IV’s.

Example: A Pokémon with the following IV’s would also have Hidden Power Dark 31/27/17/5/1/9.

Butyesa Pokémon that has 31/31/31/31/31/31 will have Hidden Power Dark.

Hope I helped :)

where a,b,c,d,e,f (the “type bits”) are the least significant bit of their respective IV’s. If a number is odd, its least significant bit is 1, and it is 0 otherwise.a depends on the HP IV.b and c depend on the Attack and Defense IV’s respectively.d depends on the Speed IV.e and f depend on the Special Attack and Special Defense IV’s respectively.This simply means that every element of the sum in the brace is the remainder of division of corresponding IV and 2, multiplied by appropriate power of 2 (20 in case of a and 25 in case of f). The sum may range from 0 (when all IVs are even) to 63 (when all IVs are odd), inclusive. It is worth mentioning that the computed sum may be easily calculated by putting its variables a,b,c,d,e,f together in reverse order and interpreting this as a number in the binary system, which then needs to be reverted to decimal system:fedcba(2) = 32f+16e+8d+4c+2b+a (10)The summed value is then multiplied by 15 and divided by 63, to be sure that the number representing Hidden Power Type will range from 0 to 15, inclusively (16 values in total). The calculated number is then rounded down (floor[]), which simply means that only integral part of the calculated number is considered.The resulting number will correspond to a type as marked below.Number Type0 Fighting1 Flying2 Poison3 Ground4 Rock5 Bug6 Ghost7 Steel8 Fire9 Water10 Grass11 Electric12 Psychic13 Ice14 Dragon15 DarkIn our example, we get:

300 311 311 311 300 311HP Type = Floor[(0 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 0 + 32)15/63] = Floor[4615/63] = Floor[10.952] = 10, which means that our Pikachu has a Grass-type Hidden Power.

So, no a Dark-Type HP does not mean you have perfect IVs

Yes.

|Post-Scriptum|: try the serebii calculator to check out perfect IV Pokémons and you will see they have Hidden Power Dark.Hope this helps!
