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 final ID numbers will be 394465.

If a Pokémon is [[transfer]]red to Generation VII or later from a previous generation, its Trainer ID number will remain 5 digits long.

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 5 digit number, which is compared with the player's Pokémon's ID numbers. Depending on the game and the nature of the matching digits, the player can receive a prize. This feature was not included in the [[Generation I]] or [[Generation V]] games, and was also absent from [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].
