Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow, Virtual Console

Male or female?

Generation 1 does not show gender. It gets decided later, when the Pokémon is transferred, from a hidden value: the Attack DV, a number from 0 to 15 rolled at capture that the game never shows. If you want a particular one: save before the capture, catch the Pokémon, read the five stats it shows you and type them in below. The tool works back to the possible DVs and tells you which gender you will get. If it is not the one you were after, reset without saving and catch it again.

How this works

What the game shows


Stats, as displayed

Read them at capture, before any battle: a single win adds stat experience and breaks the maths.

Verdict

?

Derived DVs

Each stat narrows its own DV. The HP DV, built from the parity of the other four, resolves what is left ambiguous.

Stat Value Possible DVs

Quick lookup

For this species at this level: what each Attack value implies. Save in front of the Pokémon, read Attack, reset if the number is wrong.
