PID Question

[CharlemagneXVI]

When people say "PID doesn't correlate with IVs," does that mean I could edit a pre-existing Pokemon's IVs without having to change it's PID? And if so, would this apply to Pokemon carried over from Gens 3 and 4?

No previous gen pokemon obviously have their relation as it is. It's only for 6th gen.

I was talking about fifth gen.

IVs are not correlated to PID for Gen V origin mons as the IVs come from a separate random number generator (MTRNG for IVs, PRNG for PID). Wondercards are an exception.

IVs are correlated for Gen 3/4 origin mons except for wondercards, as the PID is generated with a timer value instead of a PRNG value.

So does this mean I can edit the natures of the Pokemon I've gotten through legit methods in-game without them being flagged as hacked?

e.g. If I take the hatched HA Fletching I received from the Day Care which had the ideal IV spread for a Talonflome, but with a Modest nature, then change the nature to something like Adamant or Jolly, would said Fletchling be flagged as hacked?
