From [[Generation III]] onward, there is a second, secret ID number, different from the visible one. This number exists purely to make sure that even if two Trainers share the exact same name and gender and the exact same Trainer ID number, the game will still recognize their Pokémon as coming from different Trainers. Usually, this number cannot be viewed; however, certain [[Cheating|cheating devices]] can be used to view it, and there are also calculators to determine it. It also comes into play along with the normal ID number and the [[personality value]] in determining if a Pokémon is {{Shiny}}. If two different Trainers have the same [[Original Trainer|Trainer name]], identical ID numbers and identical hidden ID numbers (a 1 in 4,294,967,296 chance if the names do not differ), the game will recognize the two Trainers as the same, so the Pokémon are not considered to be [[outsider Pokémon]]. | From [[Generation III]] onward, there is a second, secret ID number, different from the visible one.

==Generation VII== | |||
From [[Generation VII]] onward, the ID number is a six-digit number. A five-digit Trainer ID and a five-digit Secret ID are still generated but are not displayed on the [[Trainer Card]] directly. Rather, they are used to calculate the final ID number by using the following formula: ID<sub>final</sub> = ID<sub>trainer</sub> + ID<sub>secret</sub>*65536. The last six digits of the resulting number are what is displayed when the [[Trainer Card]] is viewed. | |||
=====Example===== | |||
Imagine a player starting a new game. Their newly assigned Trainer ID and Secret ID are 00033 and 34262 respectively. The final ID number will be 33 + 34262*65536 = 2245394465. However, only the last six digits are used so the [[Trainer Card]] will display an ID No. of 394465. | |||
