Well, for one, if you're looking to change your Manetric's HP to Grass, this is impossible. HP type is determined at pokémon conception! ;P
My recommendation is just breeding until you get an Electrike that has HP (Grass). In HG/SS there is a man at the Celadon Game Corner (where you get the prizes) who will tell you what type a pokémon's HP is; in Pt the guy is at the Veilstone Game Corner.

Pauginxz Yeah im gonna be training one soon... i hate the whole IV thing it confuses me lol
IV is just, "Hey, look, your pokémon has a hidden value of 0-31 attached to each of its stats. If the value on a stat is 31, the pokémon will have 31 above its species' base at Lvl 100. If the value is 10, the pokémon have 10 above its species' base at Lvl 100. If the value is 15, 15 above the species' base. If 20, 20 above..." It has an obvious pattern.
HP, on the other hand, is a formula. It is "the quantity of a pokémon's HP IV's least significant bit (lsb) plus its Atk IV's lsb times 2 plus its Def IV's times 4 plus its Speed IV's lsb times 8 plus its Sp. Atk IV's lsb times 16 plus its Sp. Def IV's lsb times 32 multiplied by 15 and divided by 63." The formula is written like this:
a + 2b + 4c + 8d + 16e + 32f x 15
......................63
Where a-f equal the things I mentioned when I wrote out the formula.
For instance, I have an Aerodactyl with the following IVs:
HP: 31
Atk: 27
Def: 16
Sp. Atk: 16
Sp. Def: 13
Speed: 20
If an IV is even, its least significant bit is 0; if it is odd, its lsb is 1. Thus, the formula will be:
1 + 2(1) + 4(0) + 8(0) + 16(0) + 32(1) = 3535 x 15 = 525525 / 63 = 8.333The final number should be somewhere between 0 and 15. You always round the number down. Then you can use this chart to determine what type HP will be:
Therefore my Aerodactyl's HP type is Fire.
Since its math, it's something you have to do more than once before you really understand it. Thus, most people will agree that it's confusing. Plus, you must have your pokémon's IVs calculated BEFORE you can use the formula to determine HP type / power. A total hassle. It's just easier to breed or catch pokémon until you get one that has the HP type you want.
Oh, and then there is an extra formula for figuring out the base power of HP...lol.
Is there anyone that this helps or is it just confusing? >c< | ♥

♥ | lol;; That's okay. It took me a while to get it, too. (I'm only decent at math.)
If you really want to understand how to calculate HP type/power, your first step is to understand IVs and EVs. Without that, you can pretty much hang up calculating anything regarding HP. | ♥

I wouldn't use Hidden Power, even if I was paid $100 per battle. rofl
Tbh, I'd just use Low Attack/High Damage Moves.
Hence the ability "Technician". ;D

Is it how to calculate IVs? If so, I simply use this calculator. I really have no idea how to calculate IVs except at Lvl 100...it's probably really complicated. lol | ♥

HP can get a boost from Technician, too, though...HP does have a power that ranges from 30-70. o:

Well, Technician doesn't differentiate between physical and special moves. Though I think all of the pokémon that have that ability are more Atk sweepers...(except the ones who can have it in Dream World). I may have calculated HP for my Aerodactyl, but I would NEVER have her use HP. sweatdrop
