PID/IV Types

[Mag-DX]

Im confused a little.

I hear people saying that the Type 1 is only for DS pokemon

Then i hear type 1 and 2 are for NDS pokemon

Then im hereing that GBA Pkmn use types 1-5...but Im not sure what is true and what isnt...so can someone confirm?

Type1 is the RNG call:

1/2/3/4/5 PID/PID/IVs/IVs/x

DS will always use this, and GBA uses this call pattern very often.

Type3 is the RNG call for forced wild encounters (sweet scent, fishing, etc.).

I'm not sure about Type4 entirely, but I believe it's for roaming and special event Pokemon.

Those types are numbered via Pokesav, I haven't looked into Type5, and Type2 is not a valid combo.

I hope this clarifies your confusion.
