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.[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
Term | Result |
---|---|
MyTyranitar |
Returns a Pokémon named "MyTyranitar" |
Tyranitar |
Returns all Tyranitar |
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.[2]
Example
Term | Result |
---|---|
fire |
Returns all Fire types in the Pokémon list |
fire, ground |
Returns all Fire and all Ground types |
fire & flying |
Returns all Pokémon that are dual-type Fire/Flying |
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
Term | Result |
---|---|
+bulbasaur |
Returns all Bulbasaurs, Ivysaurs and Venusaurs in the Pokémon list |
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 +pichu
when there is only Pikachu and Raichu in player's Pokémon collection won't return any Pikachu nor Raichu.
Does not work for Ditto
Filtering by criteria
Example
Term | Result | Version |
---|---|---|
@weather |
Returns all Pokémon boosted by current weather conditions | 0.89.1[3] |
Using introduced in version returns all Pokémon with moves boosted by current Weather.
Filtering by move
Pokémon with a particular move or move type can be filtered by using the at-sign (@
).
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.
- Fast Attack
- Charged Attack
- Secondary Charged Attack
Example
Term | Result | Version |
---|---|---|
@Crunch / @crunch |
Returns all Pokémon with the move Crunch in the Pokémon list | 0.73.1[4] |
@Dark / @dark |
Returns all Pokémon with a Dark-type move in the Pokémon list | 0.73.1[4] |
@1psychic |
Returns all Pokémon with a Psychic-type fast move | |
@2dragon&@3flying |
Returns all Pokémon with a Dragon-type charged move and a secondary Flying-type charged move | |
@1rock&@2rock,@3dark |
Returns all Pokémon with a Rock-type fast move and either a Rock-type charged move or a secondary Dark-type charged move | |
@move |
Returns all Pokémon that have an additional charged move available | |
!@move |
Returns all pokemon who have gained an additional charged move |
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
Term | Result |
---|---|
248 |
Returns all Tyranitars |
200–248 |
Returns all Pokémon with a Pokédex number between 200 and 248 |
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 "cp"
in the front of the range to search for Pokémon by CP and "hp"
in front to search for Pokémon by HP.
Example
Term | Result |
---|---|
cp2000-3000 |
Returns all Pokémon with CP between 2,000 and 3,000 |
hp200-300 |
Returns all Pokémon with HP between 200 and 300 |
Filtering by IVs
Pokémon can be filtered by the percentile group of their Individual Values. This feature was added in version 0.149.0.[5]
Example
Term | Result |
---|---|
0* |
Returns all Pokémon with IVs between 0 – 49% |
1* |
Returns all Pokémon with IVs between 51.1 – 64.4% |
2* |
Returns all Pokémon with IVs between 66.7 – 80.0% |
3* |
Returns all Pokémon with IVs between 82.2 – 97.8% |
4* |
Returns all Pokémon with 100% IVs |
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.

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.

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.[20]
- The keyword for filtering Pokémon that require an item to evolve was originally "withitem", but was later changed to simply "item".[21]
- The keyword for filtering Pokémon that can only be hatched from eggs e.g. Baby Pokémon was originally "baby", but was later changed to simply "eggsonly".[22]
