In Generation IV only, when Cute Charm forces a Pokémon to be a specific gender, it does so by setting its [[personality value]] to one out of 25 possible values that correspond to the forced gender (one value per [[nature]]). The set of possible values depends on the gender of the Pokémon with Cute Charm, and, if the Pokémon with Cute Charm is female, the wild Pokémon's [[gender ratio]]. This has significant consequences for properties determined by personality value. | In Generation IV only, when Cute Charm forces a Pokémon to be a specific gender, it does so by setting its [[personality value]] to one out of 25 possible values that correspond to the forced gender (one value per [[nature]]).

As a result, when the encountered species can be affected by Cute Charm (i.e., when it is not a male-only, female-only, or gender-unknown species), the chances of encountering a [[Shiny Pokémon]] differ from the usual 1/8192, depending on how many of the 25 possible values forced by Cute Charm result in a [[Shiny Pokémon]] (in conjunction with the [[Trainer ID number]] and [[Trainer ID number#Secret ID|secret ID number]]): they may be as low as 1/24576 (if none of the 25 values forced by Cute Charm result in Shiny Pokémon, so the Pokémon can only be Shiny if Cute Charm fails), or as high as 21.34% (if 8 out of the 25 values forced by Cute Charm result in Shiny Pokémon). | As a result, when the encountered species can be affected by Cute Charm (i.e., when it is not a male-only, female-only, or gender-unknown species), the chances of encountering a [[Shiny Pokémon]] differ from the usual 1/8192, depending on how many of the 25 possible values forced by Cute Charm result in a [[Shiny Pokémon]] (in conjunction with the [[Trainer ID number]] and [[Trainer ID number#Secret ID|secret ID number]]): they may be as low as 1/24576 (if none of the 25 values forced by Cute Charm result in Shiny Pokémon, so the Pokémon can only be Shiny if Cute Charm fails), or as high as 21.34% (if 8 out of the 25 values forced by Cute Charm result in Shiny Pokémon). Also, the lower the difference between the Trainer ID number and secret ID number, the higher the Shiny encounter chances. | ||
