Cute Charm (Ability): Difference between revisions

(→‎Outside of battle: expanding on what was written before - RNG manip isn't necessary for this to work. I could go into detail about why the PIDs form each shiny group, but it makes it too technical I think)

From {{game|Emerald}} onwards, if a Pokémon with Cute Charm is in the first place in the [[party]] (even if [[fainting|fainted]]), there is a 66.7% chance that the game will force an encountered Pokémon to be the opposite gender from the Pokémon with Cute Charm if it can be that gender. This does not affect a [[Pokémon outbreak|swarming]] Pokémon species or Pokémon found in [[Hidden Grotto]]s.
From {{game|Emerald}} onwards, if a Pokémon with Cute Charm is in the first place in the [[party]] (even if [[fainting|fainted]]), there is a 66.7% chance that the game will force an encountered Pokémon to be the opposite gender to the Pokémon with Cute Charm if it can be that gender. This does not affect a [[Pokémon outbreak|swarming]] Pokémon species or Pokémon found in [[Hidden Grotto]]s.


On certain save files in [[Generation IV]], due to how the out of battle effect is programmed, having a Pokémon with Cute Charm in the first slot of the party greatly increases the chance of encountering a shiny Pokémon for species that can vary in gender. This is due to the fact that when Cute Charm activates to force an encounter of the opposite gender it sets the [[personality value]] (PID) to a value within 5 sets of 25 predetermined values (with each set having a value for each nature). The set is determined by the gender of the Cute Charm lead in the front of the party and, if the Pokémon with Cute Charm is female, the [[gender ratio]] of the target. All PIDs within the set will force the species encountered to be the opposite gender to the Cute Charm lead. Within each set there are four "shiny groups" of PIDs, three with 8 PIDs and one with 1 PID. Each PID within a given shiny group will make an encountered Pokémon shiny when paired with the correct [[Trainer ID]]/[[Secret ID]] (TID/SID) combinations. Therefore the chances are of encountering a shiny Pokémon under these conditions are 21.34% for TID/SID combinations that work with the shiny groups that have 8 PIDs, and 2.67% for for the shiny groups that have 1 PID. Generating save files with compatible TID/SID combinations is commonly done with [[RNG manipulation]], although this isn't necessary.
====Effects on personality value====
In [[Generation IV]] only, when Cute Charm forces a Pokémon to be a specific gender, it does so by setting its [[personality value]] to one out of 25 possible values that correspond to the forced gender (one value per [[nature]]). The set of possible values depends on the gender of the Pokémon with Cute Charm, and, if the Pokémon with Cute Charm is female, the wild Pokémon's [[gender ratio]]. This has significant consequences for properties determined by personality value.
 
As a result, when the encountered species can be affected by Cute Charm (i.e., when it is not a male-only, female-only, or genderless species), the chances of encountering a [[Shiny Pokémon]] differ from the usual 1/8192, depending on how many of the 25 possible values forced by Cute Charm result in a [[Shiny Pokémon]] (in conjunction with the [[Trainer ID number]] and [[Secret ID]]): they may be as low as 1/24546 (if none of the 25 values forced by Cute Charm result in Shiny Pokémon, so the Pokémon can only be Shiny if Cute Charm fails), or as high as 21.34% (if 8 out of the 25 values forced by Cute Charm result in Shiny Pokémon).
 
Additionally, {{p|Spinda}} whose gender has been forced by Cute Charm in Generation IV only have one of 50 patterns (25 for male, 25 for female).
