Suicune fast TM hidden power query
Im confused on how hidden power works.
I caught my 1st suicune and it has poison hidden power.
So what will happen if we fast tm a suicune that has ES?
Will it give me back a poison hidden power or another random element?
Water hidden power is the best I assume so the chances of getting it is 1/18 considering all the elements available?

Yep. This is how it works with the other pokemon that have Hidden Power too. The type remains the same if you TM, then TM back to Hidden Power.
In the main series games, Hidden Power's type is based on IVs, which can't be changed, so the Hidden Power type is locked in also. Pokemon Go isn't using IVs to calculate Hidden Power's type, but it is probably using some set number as a seed to generate the same type.
