Guide: How to generate Gen V Pokémon in PokéGen

[tgf0cj101]

So after spending countless hours of searching for an answer punctuated by interruptions from my offline life, I'm hoping I can get an answer here. I've browsed Google searches which usually lead me here, Serebii, Smogon or PokeStation, as well as the features in Smogon's RNG Reporter and Codr's PokeGen. My goal is to generate a few event legendaries for a theoretical team. I have read that unlike the rest of Gen. V, Wondercard Pokemon have a PID/IV relationship like last generation.
My question is how would I go about making these legendaries legal in PokeGen? What Method should I use, if any?

My guess is that you could look at the pokemon in the event collection, open up one of them in pokegen (as a pkm file) and look at them. As for the PID / IV relationship for events, I'm not really sure if thats the case. I successfully RNG'd the movie event Reshiram for Timid nature, nearly flawless with Hidden Power Ice (70). Here is the trick for that: the Nature is produced last. so if you do hit your correct frame, it may not be the right one, but rather one of them around the target frame. it takes a bit of trial and error, but it is possible.

On a side note, thank you so much for this guide. This guide has made me a PokeGen-erator expert.

Send it to your game using PokeGTS.us

a) PID (thanks to kaphotics for the informations)

In Generation V, the PID is related only to Gender, Shininess and Ability. There’s no correlation to IV and Nature.

When editing a pre-existing Pokémon, or creating one from scratch, leave the PID field blank, or delete the pre-existing one only if you intend to change your Pokémon’s Ability (use common sense – don’t give your Pokémon an Ability he cannot have), or if you want to make him Shiny.

At the end of the generation process, when you either save your modified *.sav file, or export a *.pkm file, PokéGen will automatically fill the PID field with one 10-characters number matching Ability, Gender and Shininess under the Gen V PID rules.

This is the fastest way to obtain a proper PID, and I personally prefer it over the PID Finder (Tools -> PID Finder), which I’m using only to calculate the IV/Hidden Power combination (see ‘Stats’ Tab).

Hi, I've only really started learning about Pokegen and creating pokemon in genral today.
This bit is confusing me, I've played around with Pokegen and understand sort of every tab except the PID tab, is this saying to ignore the PID tab and let it be generated itself regardless if the pokemon is shiny?

Also is there a guide to what EVs you should give to certain pokemon?

Thanks, sorry if I haven't understood this.

Sorry, I thought hacked referred to Pokemon with unobtainable stats through legal means,not Pokemon using this method to obtain legal stats due to the fact it would be unable to trace they are generated as they are of a completely legal nature.

if the code doesn’t work for you, you either have done something wrong at point c), or your hardware cannot handle the code’s length.

Is there anyway to combat this travesty, because i've tried splitting "Accelgor" pokemon code in half and putting an activation trigger in the begginning of both sections but that didn't work. The problem being the pokemon that are made using PokeGen somehow refuse to be registered in my pokemon white pokedex. Would certain things need to remain checked or unchecked in the "options" drop down bar?

So far this is still my personal favorite guide on Pokegen.

[DeltaRay]

do you sitll have to manuall edit the PID now or does pokegen do it now?its been a while since I browsed these forums.

1 i don't understand why do i have to set A-B-D-F for bw2???can you explain the reason please?what are the differences?
2 if i change only the iv/ev/nature and than i search for a new pid do i have a legal pkm?

I have a question about PokeRus types.

Would Pokemon in the same party have the same type of PokeRus or does it change per Pokemon?

This guide is very useful. But I'm wondering if there's actually going to be an update or if anyone knows if there's a planned update for any of the Pokegen makes that will just make pokemon that are legal on Random Wifi?

I am down with jumping through all these hoops if this is going to be the only way to do it. But if there's going to be an update in the near future I think I can wait.

I can make pokemon just fine. Like the moves and stuff seem right and the stats seem ok. My only issue so far is not being able to get in on Random Battles on Wifi.

Is this the only issue for everyone else?

Also, is there a way to double check stats that anyone knows of?

I'm doubting some of the stats generated because I can't imagine a pokemon like Victini with a 100 base to all stats at level 100 being around "average" stats when compared to my other pokemon. I am mainly having issues coming up with good IVs because I can't seem to find a "characteristics" list for Gen V pokemon.

Not sure about the update, but I think another one is on the way soon.

Even so, it is still possible to create GTS legal pokemon on the current pokegen, if its not working then you've done something wrong.


Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh great i just realised how old your question was and youve prob found the answer by now. Ill still posts this incase anyone else needs help

The hack checks on the GTS are terrible. If Pokégen were to create only GTS-legal Pokémon, one would have to run an analysis on what meets the GTS standards and what doesn't.
