* In [[Generation II]], a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s gender was determined through its {{stat|Attack}} [[Individual values|IV]]. Due to this, a female Pokémon could never have a maximized Attack [[statistic|stat]] (unless they were a member of an {{cat|Female-only Pokémon|all-female species}}, such as {{p|Smoochum}}), because female Pokémon were given the lower portion of the IV range. This also prevented female Pokémon of a {{cat|Pokémon with a gender ratio of seven males to one female|species with a gender ratio of seven males to one female}}, such as [[starter Pokémon]] or {{p|Eevee}}, from being {{Shiny}}, due to that ''also'' being based partly on the Attack IV. Because of this, their {{m|Hidden Power}} is always a physical type. From [[Generation III]] onward, neither of these traits are determined by IVs, allowing for Pokémon species with two genders to have females with maximized Attack and simultaneously retain their chances of being Shiny. | * In [[Generation II]], a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s gender was determined through its {{stat|Attack}} [[Individual values|IV]].
