::*Now we check the personality value's binary representation, which is a 32-bit number (unlike ''a'' or ''b''). If the leftmost 16 bits of the personality value are all 0, and the rightmost 16 bits of the personality value are exactly the same as what you got for ''a'' ⊕ ''b'', then the Pokémon with that personality value is shiny.

::Since trainer and secret IDs can each be anywhere (in binary) from 0000000000000000 to 1111111111111111, and a Pokémon personality value can be anywhere from 00000000000000000000000000000000 to 11111111111111111111111111111111, what's actually impossible is finding a situation where you can't find a possible shiny combination in that example that I referred to. Of course, as Minimiscience said, the example that I referred to is just one possible combination of ID, secret ID, and personality value for a shiny Pokémon.

Thanks for the brife explanation so your saying that all numbers in the ⊕ combonation except for the last (Befor final ⊕) have to be the same. But if were olny working with zeros and 1's why does the equation say below 8 if there are olny two posible combonations?--[[User:Megamaxxor|<span style="color:#0047AB">'''''Mega'''''</span>]][[User talk:Megamaxxor|<span style="color:#E5E4E2">'''maxxor'''</span>]]-- 18:55, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
