When looking up a Pokemon's moveset, people usually mention Hidden Power. This is because a) the Pokemon's movepool isn't as wide as one would have hoped, and b) Hidden Power can literally be any type in the game except Normal and Fairy, providing immense coverage potential. However, when looking at Pokemon with Hidden Power in their competitive movesets, all of them are either special or mixed attackers, since Hidden Power is only a special attack. But what about the physical attackers of the tier that need coverage but have terrible Special Attack? Well, this is the tier that will fix that.
In Physical Hidden Power, we will have the physical version of Hidden Power, called Hidden Force (borrowing the name from Unfixable's Justification, please don't sue me), be added to everyone's movepool. Hidden Force will have the exact PP, Accuracy, and power as Hidden Power, and will be available to every Pokemon that gets Hidden Power. This way, physical attackers get to enjoy some extra coverage. Here are some examples of Pokemon that will have some much needed coverage options thanks to Hidden Force:
Scizor will appreciate having Hidden Force Rock to hit Talonflame, or Hidden Force Ground to hit Heatran.
Talonflame can run Hidden Force Fighting to hit Tyranitar hard.
Mega Gyarados can take on Azumarill and Keldeo with Hidden Force Grass or Electric.
Also, both Hidden Power and Hidden Force will be at 70 BP, so if you want Technician powering up Hidden Power/Force, it will require the right combination of IVs again.
For reference:
Hidden Force, Normal-type, physical, makes contact, 70 BP, 24 PP, 100 accuracy
