From [[Generation VII]] onward, the ID number is a six-digit number, rather than a five-digit number as it previously was. A five-digit Trainer ID and a five-digit secret ID are still generated, but are then used to calculate the final ID number by using the following formula: <code>ID<sub>final</sub> = ID<sub>trainer</sub> + (ID<sub>secret</sub> × 65536)</code>. The last six digits of the resulting number are used as the ID number.

For example, consider a new save file in which the player's 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.
