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]].
