Undo revision 2454849 by Kyto (talk): sorry, but are you sure? the PID is an int, not a floating point value, so there are no decimals

It also depends on Nature, which is also calculated based on the personality value. The five least significant digits of ''p'' will here be referred to as ''p''<sub>0</sub> to ''p''<sub>4</sub>, in order from the least significant bit to the most significant, and they govern (in order) the attributes Power, Stamina, Skill, Jump, and Speed. | ||
The change in performance in a particular attribute is calculated as the sum of the following factors: | The change in performance in a particular attribute is calculated as the sum of the following factors: | ||

:Note that this modifier's values range from -9 to +9, and it only takes on odd values. This also means that the day of the month modifier cycles every 10 days, excepting for Power and Speed where the modifiers for Day 1 are different from those for Days 11, 21, and 31. | :Note that this modifier's values range from -9 to +9, and it only takes on odd values.

:Since Nature is determined by the last two digits of the personality value, the Nature of a Pokémon will reveal constrains on possible values of this modifier for Power (and, to a lesser extent, Stamina). For example, a Hardy {{p|Wurmple}} (last digit of ''p'': 0 or 5) will never get a +9 or a +7 from this modifier in Power. If it evolves into a {{p|Cascoon}} (last digit of ''p'': 5), this further reveals that its best day-of-the-month modifier (+5) will be on the first day of a month only. On the other hand, a Hardy {{p|Silcoon}} will have a +5 boost six times a month (on days ending with 4 or 6). | :Since Nature is determined by the last two digits of the personality value, the Nature of a Pokémon will reveal constrains on possible values of this modifier for Power (and, to a lesser extent, Stamina).
