The Loto-ID (Japanese: ＩＤくじ ID Lottery) or the Pokémon Lottery Corner (Japanese: ポケモンくじ抽選コーナー Pokémon Lottery Drawing Corner) is a recurring feature in the core series games introduced in Generation II that gives the player a periodic opportunity to receive a reward for owning a Pokémon with a certain OT ID number. The Loto-ID is held at the Loto-ID Center (Japanese: ＩＤくじセンター抽選コーナー ID Lottery Center Drawing Corner).

Once per day (or once per week in Generation II), a random Trainer ID number is generated; if the player has a Pokémon with the same or a similar ID, they will receive a prize. In order for a Pokémon's Trainer ID to be eligible for an award, one or more consecutive corresponding digits of the Pokémon's Trainer ID and the random Trainer ID must be the same, starting from the rightmost digit. For example, if the current lottery number is 12345, a Pokémon with the Trainer ID 12340 will not win, and one with the Trainer ID 12305 will win for matching only the last digit (except in Generations II and III, which do not give rewards for matching only one digit). Starting in Generation VII, the game must be saved before the drawing of a lottery ticket, preventing exploits that involve resetting after drawing a ticket.

The Loto-ID appears in at least one core series game in Generations II, III, IV, VI, VII, and VIII. Similar features are present in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 and the Generation VII games with the Raffle Shops and Lottery shops, respectively, which also reward the player with a randomly chosen free prize; however, these are not based on Trainer ID numbers.

Once all of the Backdrops have been won, the player will no longer be able to win for matching only one digit.

Generation II

Main article: Radio → Lucky Number Show

In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the Lucky Number Show is part of the Lucky Channel, a radio program broadcast on channel 8.5 in Johto. Each Friday, a random ID number is generated and then broadcast on the Lucky Number Show throughout the following week. The player can bring a Pokémon with a Trainer ID number matching that week's lucky number to a receptionist on the ground floor of the Goldenrod Radio Tower to receive a prize. When the receptionist is spoken to, the IDs of all Pokémon in the player's party and in the currently selected Box of the Pokémon Storage System are checked for matches, and a prize is awarded if one is found. The player can speak to the receptionist to check for matches multiple times in one week, but once a prize has been received, the player will not be able to participate again until after the lucky number changes at the start of the next Friday.

Quotes

  • If the player has not drawn a lottery ticket that day
"Hi, are you here for the Lucky Number Show? Want me to check the ID numbers of your Pokémon? If you get lucky, you win a prize. This week's ID number is <number>. Let's see if you have a match.
  • If the player loses
"Nope, none of your ID numbers match."
  • If the player wins
"Congratulations! We have a match with the ID number of <winning Pokémon> in your party/PC Box.
  • If last two digits match
"Ooh, you've matched the last two numbers. You've won third prize, a PP Up.
  • If last three digits match
"Hey! You've matched the last three numbers! You've won second prize, an Exp.Share!"
  • If all digits match
"Wow! You have a perfect match of all five numbers! We have a grand prize winner! You have won a Master Ball!
  • When talking to the receptionist again after drawing a ticket
"Please come back next week for the next Lucky Number."

Generation III

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the lottery is held at the Pokémon Lottery Corner on the ground floor of the Lilycove Department Store, where it is conducted by the right receptionist. The winning ID number changes daily, and the game looks for matches by examining the Trainer IDs of all Pokémon in the player's party and in all PC Boxes (but not Pokémon in Day Care).

The player can only draw a ticket once per day, and their Pokémon are only checked for matches when the ticket is drawn. (If the player does not have any matching Pokémon when the ticket is drawn, they cannot receive a prize even if they subsequently gain a Pokémon with a matching Trainer ID.) The lottery number is predetermined before drawing it, so resetting the game will not change the lottery number.

Quotes

  • If the player has not drawn a lottery ticket that day
"This is the Pokémon Lottery Corner. All shoppers visiting our Department Store get to draw a Pokémon Loto Ticket. If the Loto Ticket's number matches the ID number of any of your Pokémon, you will receive a fabulous gift. Would you like to draw a Pokémon Loto Ticket?"
No: "Please do visit us again."
Yes: "Please pick a Loto Ticket. ... ... ..."
"The Loto Ticket number is <number>. I need to run a check on this number to see if it matches any of your Pokémon's ID numbers. Please wait."
  • If the player loses
"I'm sorry. None of the numbers matched."
  • If the player wins
"Congratulations! The ID number of your PC-boxed/team's <winning Pokémon's nickname> matches your Loto Ticket's number!
  • If two digits match
"Two digits matched, so you win the third prize! You've won the PP Up!"
  • If three digits match
"Three digits matched, so you win the second prize! You've won the Exp. Share!"
  • If four digits match
"Four digits matched, so you win the first prize! You've won the Max Revive!"
  • If all digits match
"Oh, my goodness, all five digits matched! You've won the jackpot prize! You've won the Master Ball!"
"Please do visit again."
  • When talking to the receptionist again after drawing a ticket
"Please come back tomorrow."

Generation IV

In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, the lottery is part of the Pokémon Lottery Corner on the ground floor of the Jubilife TV building, where it is conducted by a receptionist named Felicity. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Felicity and the Pokémon Lottery Corner appear on the ground floor of the Goldenrod Radio Tower.

The winning number changes daily, and the game looks for matches by examining the Trainer IDs of all Pokémon in the player's party and in all PC Boxes (but not Pokémon in Day Care). The winning Trainer ID number is synchronized within a group—players in the same group will have the same winning number on any given day. Resetting the game does not change the day's winning number.

In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the player's Pokémon are only checked for matches when the ticket is drawn, which can only be done once per day. In Pokémon Platinum, HeartGold and SoulSilver, the player may check for matches any number of times per day, but cannot participate for the rest of the day once they have received a prize.

In Pokémon X and Y, the Loto-ID is at the Loto-ID Center on Estival Avenue in Lumiose City, where it is conducted by the front receptionist. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the Pokémon Lottery Corner is located on the ground floor of the Lilycove Department Store.

The winning Trainer ID number changes daily, and the game looks for matches by examining the Trainer IDs of all Pokémon in the player's party and in all PC Boxes (but not Pokémon in Day Care). Although the number remains the same throughout the day, the player may check for matches multiple times in one day until they win a prize, after which they may not participate again for the rest of the day.
