Re: Secret ID Calculations
i suck at chaining too but in HGSS you can use the shiny red gyarados stats in the same way as a chained shiny on the calculator apparently (just capture / note stats / soft reset / repeat)
EDIT (not sure if this helps after ready your Q again...)
Sorry if this is the wrong place for this thread, still don't quite know my way around yet.
Anyways, I was wondering if anyone knows the math formulas behind finding a SID via a pokemon's IVs. For a regular shiny, I can get it, but my issue here is with Chained Shinies.
Using RNG reporter on my 3 chained shiny pokemon, it tells me that it can narrow down the possible SIDs to 4; but doesn't want to tell me which 4 they are. I don't tend to have the best luck when it comes to chaining, and that plus my curiosity lead me to wonder if anyone could explain the math behind this process to me so I can calculate these 4 SIDs myself. Partially because I like knowing these sorts of mechanics, but mostly because I think it'd probably be faster and easier to just check them all manually and see which one works.
