If ''p'' is even, that Pokémon has the first [[ability]] for its species. If it's odd, it has the second. If a species has only one ability while ''p'' is odd, it gets the only ability it can. Pokémon transferred from [[Generation III]] to [[Generation IV]] that can get one of the [[Generation IV#New abilities for old Pokémon|new abilities]] will retain the ability they had in Generation III; however, if they are evolved and their personality value is odd, they will get the new ability upon evolution. For example, a {{p|Porygon}} that has the ability Trace is brought to a Generation IV game. If it then evolves into {{p|Porygon2}}, it may keep Trace (if ''p'' is even), or it may switch to the ability {{a|Download}} (if ''p'' is odd). The reason this happens is because although the ability is initially determined by the personality value, the ability is stored as a separate value in the [[Pokémon data structure in Generation IV|Pokémon data]], and alongside the IVs in Generation III. When the Pokémon evolves in Generation IV, the personality value is rechecked, and a new ability assigned. | If ''p'' is even, that Pokémon has the first [[ability]] for its species.

Note that a separate bit governs whether a Pokémon has their normal abilities or hidden abilities in [[Generation V]]; the personality value of a Pokémon is always set to have its first ability in this case, so as to allow the inclusion of a second hidden ability in a future generation. | |||

{{p|Wurmple}}'s evolution does not depend on time of day, despite what many guides say. In fact, the evolution is determined by taking <code>''p<sub>w</sub>'' % 10</code>. If the remainder is less than 5, Wurmple will become a {{p|Silcoon}}, and if it is greater than or equal to 5, it will become a {{p|Cascoon}}. | {{p|Wurmple}}'s evolution does not depend on time of day, despite what many guides say.

== Performance Changes == | |||
The day-to-day [[performance]] of a Pokémon, for the purposes of the [[Pokéathlon]], depends on the personality value as well as the day of the month. It also depends on nature, which is also calculated based on personality value. The five least significant digits govern, from least significant to most significant, Power, Stamina, Skill, Jump, and Speed. | |||
The change in performance in a particular attribute is calculated using this formula: | |||
(((''Day'' + ''Attribute'' + 3) × (''Day'' - ''Attribute'' + 7) + ''Personality'') mod 10) × 2 - 9 + ''Nature Modifier'' + ''Aprijuice Modifier'' | |||
* ''Attribute'' is 0 for Power, 1 for Stamina, 2 for Skill, 3 for Jump, and 4 for Speed | |||
* ''Personality'' is the relevant digit of the personality value, as noted above | |||
* ''Nature Modifier'' is a modifier based on the nature of the Pokémon. Each of the neutral natures raise one attribute by 10 points while lowering another by 10 points, while the other natures raises one attribute by 35 points while lowering another by 35 points, based on which [[stat]]s they normally raise and lower. Consult with the table below for details. | |||
* ''Aprijuice Modifier'' is a modifier that results from applying [[Aprijuice]] on the Pokémon | |||
{| {{bluetable2}} | |||
! Attribute !! Attribute Modifier !! Personality Digit !! Neutral Nature +10 !! Neutral Nature -10 !! Other Nature Stat | |||
|- | |||
| Power || 0 || Ones || Hardy || Bashful || Attack | |||
|- | |||
| Stamina || 1 || Tens || Docile || Quirky || Defense | |||
|- | |||
| Skill || 2 || Hundreds || Quirky || Serious || Sp. Def | |||
|- | |||
| Jump || 3 || Thousands || Bashful || Docile || Sp. Atk | |||
|- | |||
| Speed || 4 || Ten-Thousands || Serious || Hardy || Speed | |||
|} | |||
The calculated value is then translated into a difference in stars as follows: | |||
{| {{bluetable2}} | |||
! Stars | |||
| -4 || -3 || -2 || -1 || 0 || 1 || 2 || 3 || 4 | |||
|- | |||
! Score | |||
| < -120 || -119 - -80 || -79 - -40 || -39 - -15 || -14 - 14 || 15 - 39 || 40 - 79 || 80 - 119 || > 120 | |||
|} | |||
Note that performance changes may not drop below the Pokémon's minimum performance rating, nor may it exceed's the Pokémon's maximum performance rating. Thus, for example, a {{p|Cradily}} may never improve or have its Speed rating degraded as its Speed attribute is fixed. | |||
