{{main|Trainer ID number}}

Trainer ID, often shorted to TID, is the 5 to 6 digit value displayed on the player's {{ga|Trainer Card}}, [[League Card]], or in-game save menu. The Secret ID, often shortened to SID, is a hidden 4 or 5 digit value used alongside the Trainer ID to determine which Pokémon will appear as {{Shiny}} for the player, according to the Pokémon's [[personality value]].

Trainer Shiny Value, often shortened to TSV, is a value derived from the player's Trainer ID and Secret ID, designed as an easy way to tell if a given {{pkmn|Egg}} or Pokémon will be Shiny for the player, if their Egg Shiny Value, (often shortened to ESV), or Pokémon Shiny Value, (often shortened to PSV) is the same value as the player's Trainer Shiny Value.
