you cant ctach a treecko in the wild (without cheats) and your I,D. number has nothing tothing to do with finding it anyway.

i cant remeber my id and i have 11 shineys

No, shiny encounter rate is 1/8192 no matter what your ID is. Just pure luck is needed for getting a shiny. I don't remember my ID but I have no shinies ,which is more important...
Good luck on the Treecko anyway

Well, the shiny rate is 1/8192, yes, but that is based on a random number generator. Unfortunately, random number generators are typically not really random. They're close, but some number alignments (such as Trainer ID and Hidden ID) can force the random number generator to produce certain numbers more often. In fact, probably all of our games have some form of this situation. The trick lies in that some people are lucky enough to have the "more common" random numbers as the shiny numbers...hence, a better than normal chance of shinies.

Make sense?

As others have said, ID has nothing to do with your amount of shinies. If you have any more questions please read the Shiny FAQ sticky and/or ask in there.
