One factor that determines gender is each Pokémon species's [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio|gender ratio]], which is approximately how likely a Pokémon is a specific gender instead of the other. | One factor that determines gender is each Pokémon species's [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio|gender ratio]], which is approximately how likely a Pokémon is a specific gender instead of the other. | ||

In [[Generation II]], a Pokémon's gender is determined based solely on its physical {{stat|Attack}} when compared to its gender ratio. A Pokémon is female if its physical Attack IV is less than or equal to its species' gender ratio, otherwise it is male. For species that are exclusively one gender or have no gender, the calculation based on the physical Attack IV is ignored. | In [[Generation II]], a Pokémon's gender is determined based solely on its physical {{stat|Attack}} [[Individual value|IV]] when compared to its gender ratio. A Pokémon is female if its physical Attack IV is less than or equal to its species' gender ratio, otherwise it is male. For species that are exclusively one gender or have no gender, the calculation based on the physical Attack IV is ignored. | ||
Due to this calculation, it is impossible to obtain a female Pokémon with high physical Attack, unless the Pokémon is a member of an all-female species like {{p|Jynx}} or {{p|Chansey}}. Starter Pokémon and others with a gender ratio of seven males to one female suffer the most, with the maximum physical Attack IV for a female Pokémon of those species being 1. | Due to this calculation, it is impossible to obtain a female Pokémon with high physical Attack, unless the Pokémon is a member of an all-female species like {{p|Jynx}} or {{p|Chansey}}.
