It will come up with a list of possible personality IDs. Go to this site, and enter the Pokémon's IVs and nature. Once you have the Pokémon's IVs, it's time to work out its personality ID. Eventually, it will give you the exact IVs of your Pokémon. Enter the nature, level and stats of your Pokémon, and press Calculate. These Berries remove EVs from your Pokémon. If they're touched, use the Pomeg, Kelpsy, Qualot, Hondew, Grepa and Tamato Berries in Emerald until they have no effect. Make sure the shiny has no EVs freshly caught Pokémon always have no EVs (as long as you didn't use vitamins on them).Get loads of Rare Candies, either by using Pickup or cloning them in Emerald.
There's loads of guides on how to do that already however, if you can't find any, here's a short guide from me. Then, you need to calculate your shiny's IVs. Therefore, with these two, there is no link between the personality ID and the IVs, so the personality ID cannot be calculated.
Shiny cheats affect the generation of the personality ID, and an egg's personality ID is generated at a different time than the IVs. If you've already got one, then great if not, start searching! However, the shiny cannot be cheated or hatched. Therefore, you'll get a range of 65536/8192=8 different possible secret IDs.Īnyway, first, you need to catch a shiny. You'll only be able to get a range in which it could be, as though there are 65536 possible secret IDs, the chance of a shiny is 1/8192. Firstly, let me make this clear: you won't be able to work out your exact secret ID. Now that I have the explanation out of the way, time to move on to the method. If you catch a shiny, you've got both personality ID and trainer ID covered these can then be used to calculate possible values for your secret ID. This, your trainer ID, and your secret ID determine shininess. These mean that if you know your Pokémon's IVs and nature, you can actually take a good guess at its personality ID. This means that due to the 'random' number generator, the two sets of values are linked. A Pokémon's IVs are generated directly after its personality ID.However, this means that the numbers are not truly random, as they are generated by a predictable formula. The closest you can get is a formula which generates a sequence of seemingly random numbers.
It's impossible to create a true random number generator with software. The random number generator in Pokémon, despite its appearance, is not random.All these numbers are randomly generated when a Pokémon is created, be it wild or received.Shininess is determined not only by the Pokémon's personality ID, but also its trainer and secret IDs.Each trainer has a public ID number and a secret ID number.This controls the Pokémon's gender, ability, nature, and shininess. All Pokémon also have another hidden value, called the personality ID.All Pokémon have a set of IVs, which control their stats.This is false.īut how can you find your secret ID, when the game doesn't show it to you? There are a few game mechanics that actually allow you to work it out. However, due to it not being shown, most people think that you can only see it if you use cheats. You actually have a second, hidden ID number, known as your secret ID number. Most people know that the ID number on your Trainer Card is not the only one you have.
