Pokémon search

Pokémon search is a feature on the page with Pokémon collection that allows a Trainer to create a filtered view of their Pokémon. This feature was introduced in update to version 0.67.1.

Filtering by name
Filtering by name works just the same as a normal text search. It returns Pokémon whose name matches the query. This search does not search sub-strings, so the full name must be supplied. This feature supports ASCII and Unicode input. Searching by a Pokémon species name ignores nicknames.

Example

Filtering by type
Pokémon can be filtered by their types by adding their type to the search bar. Multiple Types can be queried at a time by using one or more of the supported separators – colon, semi-colon , comma , or an ampersand. The latter was introduced in version 0.69.1.

Example

Filtering by species
Pokémon that belong to a particular species group can be filtered by searching the species name and placing a plus sign before it. This also works with Pokémon nicknames.

Example

However, it doesn't work to display Pokémon family if there is no Pokémon present in collection which name is used to search even though there is present another member of its family. For example, using  when there is only Pikachu and Raichu in player's Pokémon collection won't return any Pikachu nor Raichu.

Filtering by criteria
Example

Using ).

When filtering by move type, if a number (1, 2, or 3) is placed between the  and the type, it will search for Pokémon with a move that matches the type for that slot.


 * 1) Fast Attack
 * 2) Charged Attack
 * 3) Secondary Charged Attack

Example

Note: The forward-slash in the "Term" column above is not part of the term and it denotes the usage of either term, since the terms are case-insensitive.

Filtering by Pokédex number
Pokémon can be filtered by their Pokédex number by entering a search range.

Example

Filtering by CP and HP
Pokémon can be filtered similar to the way they can be searched by Pokédex number. The only difference is by adding  in the front of the range to search for Pokémon by CP and   in front to search for Pokémon by HP.

Example

Filtering by keyword
Keywords are reserved-words that are used, similar meta-tags, to return Pokémon in the search. They are usually properties of a Pokémon and not visible to the user.

Usage

Advanced search
All the filter methods mentioned above can be chained together by separating the queries with colons, semi-colons , commas and ampersands. Searches can also be inverted by negating the search term.

Example

Trivia

 * Prior to version 0.137.1, the "evolve" keyword would not return Pokémon that required an Evolution Item to evolve.
 * The "defender" keyword was one of the most requested keywords prior to its inclusion in version 0.75.0.
 * The keyword for filtering Pokémon that require an item to evolve was originally "withitem", but was later changed to simply "item".
