In [[Generation III|Generations III]] and {{gen|IV}}, there are occasionally [[Non-player character|NPCs]] who want to see large Pokémon. When shown a Pokémon, they calculate its size according to the formula detailed below, and give the player a prize if it exceeds the previous record. The size of these Pokémon follows a {{wp|normal distribution}}, and is calculated from its [[individual values]] and its [[personality value]]. | In [[Generation III|Generations III]] and {{gen|IV}}, there are occasionally [[Non-player character|NPCs]] who want to see large Pokémon.

Only the lowest two bytes of the personality value are used in the calculation: ''p''<sub>1</sub> (highlighted in <span style="background:#9999FF">blue</span> below) is the least significant byte, while ''p''<sub>2</sub> (highlighted in <span style="background:#FF9999">red</span>) is the second least significant byte. | |||

Additionally, only the four {{wp|least significant bit}}s of each IV are used in the calculation: mathematically, <math>stat' = IV_{stat} \mod 16</math>. | |||
The first step in the calculation is as follows: | The first step in the calculation is as follows: | ||

In all Generation III games and non-English Generation IV games, a Pokémon is considered to have beat the previous record if its size in millimeters is greater than the previous record. In English-language Generation IV games, a Pokémon is considered to have beat the previous record if its size in tenths of an inch is greater than the previous record. | |||
