Gen 7 - Hidden Power determination based on IVs
(bottle cap issue?)
TLDR: the same IVs result in different Hidden Power types, even when the type has been explicitly set in the builder. The builder is overriding the explicitly set Hidden Power type, but only about half the time. It is possible that the IV + Hidden Power type combination I am trying should not be possible at all, but works half the time (31/31/31/31/31/0 with Ground).
According to the smogdex, Ditto needs 30 spatk / 30 spdef / 1 speed IVs to have hidden power ground.
Recently, I discovered that you can use HP Ground with 5 perfect IVs + 0 speed IVs
Ditto @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Imposter
Hidden Power: Ground
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA
Quiet Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Transform
This works on one of my teams.

^ replay of HP ground ditto with 0 speed
However, when I try to import this set into different teams, the Hidden Power type shows as Dark, and in-game it works as Ice

^ replay of the team from the image below. I imported the "Hidden Power: Ground" Ditto set, but when I left the team and opened it again in the builder, it showed as Dark type. I tried manually using the drop-down box to set it to Ground, but it similarly does not stay Ground.
Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
Steps to have HP Ground overrided
1. Open PS! in a guest browser
2. Import this team https://pokepast.es/445323cb287d594e and validate that it shows as HP Ground (works for certain other teams too, but not all for some reason)
3. Back out of the team or refresh the page
4. Open the team again and notice it shows as HP Dark
Steps to have HP Ground stay
1. Open PS! in a guest browser
2. Create a new gen7ou team
3. Add a Ditto and set its HP type to Ground
4. Refresh, and it remains so
