Read on below to learn how to search and filter your Pokémon inventory in Pokémon GO:
Searching and Filtering your Pokémon Inventory
As your Pokémon collection grows, you can use keyword searches to quickly and easily narrow down the list of Pokémon that you have caught.
To search your collection:
- In Map View, touch the Main Menu button.
- Touch the Pokémon button.
- Touch the Magnifying Glass button at the top of your list to open the search field.
- Enter a search term into the field.
Find specific Pokémon
- Name: Search by the Pokémon name. For example, searching Pikachu will show all the Pikachu in your Pokémon list.
- Nickname: Search by a Nickname that you’ve given a Pokémon. For example, searching Joe will show all the Pokémon with the nickname “Joe.”
- Pokédex number: Search by number to show all the Pokémon matching that Pokédex number. For example, searching for 25 will show all the Pikachu in your list.
- Pokémon type: Enter a Pokémon type to show all Pokemon that match that type. For example, searching for grass will show all grass-type Pokémon in your list.
- Move: Add @ before a move name to show all Pokémon with that move. For example, @scratch will show all Pokémon that know the Fast Attack scratch.
- Move type: Add @ before a move type to show all Pokémon that know a move of that specific type. For example, searching for @grass will show all Pokémon with a grass-type attack in your list.
- Specific moves: To search for a Pokémon with a specific type of Quick or Charged Attack, add @1, @2, or @3 before a move type search. For example, searching for @3ghost will show any Pokémon with a Ghost-Type second Charged Attack.
- Evolutionary family: Add + before a Pokémon’s name. For example, searching for +Pikachu will show any Pichu, Pikachu, and Raichu in your list. Note that this only works for Pokémon currently in your list. Searching for +Pikachu will not return anything if you don’t currently have any Pikachu.
- Combat Power (CP): To show Pokémon of a specific CP or a CP range, enter CP followed by the number or range into the search bar. For example, CP300 will show all Pokémon with a CP of 300.
- Health Points (HP): To show Pokémon of a specific HP or a HP range, enter HP followed by the number or range into the search bar. For example, HP150 will show all Pokémon with an HP of 150. Note that this doesn’t consider whether Pokémon are currently hurt or have fainted.
Find Pokémon with a specific status

- Evolvable Pokémon: Enter evolve to show any Pokémon that are eligible to evolve in your list. This search considers both special items and candy.

Other Tips

- Minimum searches: To search for Pokémon with a minimum HP or CP, add – to the end of a search. For example, searching cp300- will show all Pokémon with CP of 300 or higher.
- Multiple searches: Use , : or ; to search for Pokémon matching multiple criteria. For example, searching electric,@weather will show all Electric-type Pokémon and Pokémon with an attack that is currently boosted by the current weather
- Combining searches: Use & or | to combine searches as an and statement. For example, searching for grass&evolve will show all Grass-type Pokémon currently able to evolve.
