A [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s '''ID number''' (Japanese: '''IDNo.''') is a [[Pseudorandom number generation in Pokémon|randomly generated]] number that is assigned to a player when they create a new save file. Any Pokémon that this Trainer obtains have the number shown in their [[summary]]; it is used, in conjunction with the [[Original Trainer|Trainer's name]] and [[gender]], to identify whether the Pokémon is an [[outsider Pokémon]]. The ID numbers of a player's Pokémon are also used in the [[Pokémon Lottery Corner|Loto-ID]] to determine whether they will win a prize, and if so which prize they will win. Finally, starting in [[Generation III]], whether a Pokémon is {{Shiny}} is determined by a formula that takes into consideration their ID number and [[personality value]]. | A [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s '''ID number''' (Japanese: '''IDNo.''') is a [[Pseudorandom number generation in Pokémon|randomly generated]] number that is assigned to a player when they create a new save file.

Secret IDs of Pokémon obtained prior to [[Generation VII]] are five digits long; those of Pokémon obtained in Generation VII onwards are four digits long.

If two different Trainers have the same [[Original Trainer|Trainer name]] and gender, as well as identical ID numbers and secret ID numbers (a 1 in 4,294,967,296 chance), the games will recognize the two Trainers as the same and will not consider their Pokémon to be [[outsider Pokémon]], which can cause minor bugs related to [[List of locations by index number|met location]]. For example, [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{Pokémon XD}} use location index numbers that conflict with each other, so if one player has a Pokémon from the other game yet that Pokémon is not an outsider, it will likely display the wrong met location rather than the fallback "distant land" normally used for outsider Pokémon. Conversely, {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} (not Emerald) and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} use location index numbers that are incompatible but do not overlap, so if one player has a Pokémon from the other game that is not an outsider, it will display the otherwise-unreadable text "Met somewhere." rather than the correct "Met in a trade." | If two different Trainers have the same [[Original Trainer|Trainer name]] and gender, as well as identical ID numbers and secret ID numbers (a 1 in 4,294,967,296 chance), the games will recognize the two Trainers as the same and will not consider their Pokémon to be [[outsider Pokémon]], which can cause minor bugs related to [[List of locations by index number|met location]].

Once per week in [[Generation II]] and once per day in Generations {{gen|III}}, {{gen|IV}}, {{gen|VI}}, {{gen|VII}}, and {{gen|VIII}}, the player may take part in the Loto-ID. This involves the generation of a random five-digit number, which is compared with the player's Pokémon's ID numbers.
