Help with Hidden Power

I recently got a good IV Suicune with Steel-type Hidden Poder, and tried to change it to get a different type for Hidden Power, but got Steel-type twice.
Does each Pokémon (that learns Hidden Power) get stuck with the same type for Hidden Power regardless of how many times you change it or was it just mere bad luck?

yes, only one hidden power per individual

The one small caveat, irrelevant to the Suicune discussion, is that evolving Togepi or Porygon will re-randomize the type used for Hidden Power.

There has been 1000 posts about this. Rip tms

yes... though this needs to be known to everyone raiding suicune.

Yesterday I got a Water Hidden Power for Suicune. I figured this would be ideal since Suicune is water type, but sadly no STAB with Hidden Power for Suicune since Hidden Power is a Normal type move.

Is that a fact in pogo? Any proof about its not gettin stab damage?

o_O? Says who? The point of Hidden Power is that the type can vary and is calculated based on that type.

In the main series at least:
"Hidden Power can receive same-type attack bonus. For instance, a Bug-type Pokémon will receive same-type attack bonus when using a Bug-type Hidden Power. Although Hidden Power is Normal-type in the game's data, a Normal-type Hidden Power is not obtainable"
