Pokemon Gold and Silver - Unown Formula
The Unown's shape is decided by its DVs.
The Unown, from A to Z, are numbered 00h to 1Ah in the address D110h (Japanese) or DC24h (English). This is the formula:
A = max(3,ATK/2)*64 B = max(3,DEF/2)*16 C = max(3,SPD/2)*64 D = max(3,SPC/2)*64 UnownLetter = ((A+B+C+D)/10)+1
where:
- ATK = Attack DV
- DEF = Defense DV
- SPD = Speed DV
- SPC = Special DV
| Deter Value | A (Attack) | B (Defense) | C (Speed) | D (Special) |
| 0, 1, 8, 9 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 2, 3, 10, 11 | 64 | 16 | 4 | 1 |
| 4, 5, 12, 13 | 128 | 32 | 8 | 2 |
| 6, 7, 14, 15 | 192 | 48 | 12 | 3 |
The result, UnownLetter, is the position in the alphabet of the Unown shape.
Example:
10/10/10/10 (Shiny Pokémon status)
K = 64
M = 16
S = 4
T = 1
When combined, you get 80. 80/10 + 1 = 9. Thus, this shiny Unown is of the ninth letter (I).
