Any Pokémon that this Trainer obtains have the number shown in their summary; information technology is used, in conjunction with the Trainer'due south name and gender, to identify whether the Pokémon is an outsider Pokémon. The ID numbers of a player's Pokémon are also used in the Loto-ID to make up one's mind whether they volition win a prize, and if and so which prize they will win.

Secret ID

From Generation Three onward, in add-on to their regular ID numbers, Trainers and Pokémon are as well assigned a second, unseen ID number different from the visible one. This number exists to reduce the chances of the games erroneously identifying a Pokémon from another Trainer as not being an outsider Pokémon, since even if two Trainers share the exact same proper name, gender and Trainer ID number, the game volition still recognize their Pokémon as coming from different Trainers should their secret ID numbers be unlike.

The last six digits of the resulting number are used equally the ID number.

For instance, consider a new save file in which the player's assigned Trainer ID and undercover ID are 00033 and 34262, respectively. The ID number will be 33 + (34262*65536) = 2245394465. However, only the concluding six digits are used, and so the final ID number volition exist 394465.

If a Pokémon is transferred to Generation VII or after from a previous generation, its Trainer ID number will remain 5 digits long.
