if so please move this and direct me there if not, wow really?

anyway here's one I found on platinum...

in a double battle with cheryl in eterna forest, I saw both a silcoon and as cascoon that were both male. last I checked one of them was always female that's why it makes a difference which gender wurmple is.
 
Wurmple does not evolve by gender. That wasn't introduced until Generation IV. Wurmple evolve almost randomly, depending on it's hidden individual values. Do a bit more research next time. :/
 
platinum IS generation IV do your research before replying next time :\
 
maybe but in gen 4 wurmple always evolves into silcoon then beutifly if female or cascoon then dustox if male
 
there are no personality values in gen 4 and up, there for I don't see how that article applies to anything but gen 3
 
What? Personality values are in Generation IV. How do you think Shinies are made? Or IVs?
 
PIDs have been consistent in every generation of Pokémon. Despite what those strategy guides might say, Wurmple does not evolve by gender or time of day. Randomly, as HS said.
 
I have played diamond, soul silver, and platinum since diamond was released, I have evolved quiet a few wurmples, silcoons/cascoons and beutifies and dustoxes since then
 
I suppose it was a coincidence. I have a Male Beautifly. They evolve randomly depending on personality values.
 
...I'm pretty sure I have a Male Beautifly. Or a Female Dustox.

Wurmple's evolution

The value in red will be known as pw; it is essentially p % 65536.

Wurmple's evolution does not depend on time of day, despite what many guides say. In fact, the evolution is determined by taking pw % 10. If the remainder is less than 5, Wurmple will become a Silcoon, and if it is greater than or equal to 5, it will become a Cascoon.

This is a great example of the law of averages -- half the Beautiflies and half of Dustoxes are male, and vice versa, but for you, it worked out randomly that all of the Beautiflies are female and all the dustoxes are male. I'm sure there's someone out there who has the exact opposite case.

Exactly. Another thing to remember is that Males and Females have slightly different personality values, which is what helps determine if they are male or female.
 
I have male and female Beautifly on my SoulSilver, and male/female Dustox as well. They don't evolve by gender.
 
^^ THIS

its just coincidence that it happened to you
 
Question answered (somewhat). Thread closed. As for a "WTF?" thread, I'm almost certain there's one in Video Games somewhere (the proper place for a question dealing with something occurring solely in the games).
