How exactly does Pokémon Lottery Corner work?

Question

I'm playing Soulsilver. From what I understand, it checks my Pokémon's ID? Or my own ID? Does it defend on how many Pokémon I have? Or how many Pokémon I have traded? Does in-game traded Pokémon generate different ID?

Answer 1

The PLC generates every day a set of numbers and tries to match it with a Pokemon from either your party or boxes.I think the more the same numbers the better the prize.

Comments

match it with what number of Pokémon? Its original Trainer's ID? or a secret unknown ID of each individual Pokémon?

---

It generates a set of numbers and checks if that number matches with the trainer ID of any Pokemon you own.

So basically, I need to trade Pokémon to increase the chance, rather than catch more?

---

Yes, you need to trade Pokémon with many different people to raise your chances.
