What's your name?
The most common Search Term, and one you've almost certainly used, by typing in any part or all of a Pokémon's name, you will only see Pokémon with that name. For players who give their favorite Pokémon nicknames, this can be a quick way to look them up. This is also a Search Term we rely on when doing mass evolutions for XP because you can rename every Pokémon you want to evolve and then sort by name.
You can also connect this Search Term with a comma, colon, semi-colon, or ampersand to search for more than one name at a time.
Who's that Pokémon?
Similar to searching by name, if you haven't given a Pokémon a Nickname, just searching its species will turn up every Pokémon of that species. So, type in "Pichu," and you'll see every Pichu you have. This search term can be modified with a plus sign (+) to show you all of a family tree. So, if you put in "+Whismur," you'll see all your Whismur, Loudres, and Exploud.
Likewise, if you type in a Pokémon's national Pokédex number, it will also display only that species of Pokémon. The number cannot be modified with a plus sign; however, you can modify with a dash (-) to display all Pokémon within a certain range. For example, "150-152" would show you Mewtwo, Mew, and Chikorita.
Both can be connected to search for multiple species.
Type Match
Let's say you're going to take on a new Raid, and you know that Raid Boss is weak against Fire-type Pokémon. By searching "Fire," you will see every Fire-type Pokémon you have. This works with each of the 18 types, which are:
- Normal
- Fire
- Fighting
- Water
- Flying
- Grass
- Poison
- Electric
- Ground
- Psychic
- Rock
- Ice
- Bug
- Dragon
- Ghost
- Dark
- **Steel
- Fairy
For connecting multiple types, if you use a comma, you can search for any Pokémon with either of the types you've searched for. However, if you connect two types with an ampersand, you will only see Pokémon that have both of those types.
