By now, the 5th generation has arrived in Pokémon Go. This means even more pocket monsters that go into your Pokémon storage. Keeping track of the appropriate monsters is not easy. In our guide, we’ll show you all the known search commands in the game, which will make it easier for you to find the right Pokémon.

If you maintain a so-called Living Pokédex (keep all registered Pokémon at least 1x) or have diligently built up several teams of six Pokémon for raids and arena battles, you will have quite a large collection of virtual pocket monsters by now. For example, if you are looking for the right Pokémon when trading or for battles, you will have to scroll for a long time without the right search term.

Often, the search terms are not self-explanatory and only spit out the desired result with the appropriate keyword and/or special characters. Below we show you which search commands you can type in your Pokémon collection to find the right Pokémon.

All of the following search terms will only work for Pokémon that are in your collection. Keep in mind that playing around with the search function will drain your battery significantly more than usual.

New: @special – Find Pokémon with special attacks.

Shows Pokémon with so-called legacy attacks. These are attacks that are no longer in the game or are only unlocked through special events like Community Day. However, you can also find Shadow and Redeemed Pokémon, since they have the special attacks Return and Frustration. This also removes the search command for Redeemed and Shadow, you can find these Pokémon via their attacks (Return and Frustration).

New: distance – Interesting for swapping over certain distances

Via distance-100 or distance-1, distance-2 or distance-3, you can find Pokémon that you have found in distant places. It is not yet clear what the numbers mean or how the game calculates the distance. According to our tests, the number of kilometers can’t be meant, the higher the number, the further away we find captured Pokémon in our list. Try the function yourself if you have Pokémon from other countries, cities or states in your collection.

Star Rating System – Search for Pokémon with Good/Bad Stats

The star rating system has brought a new search function into the game. The star system is divided into 15 levels, in the search bar this is broken down again into 0 to 4 stars.

For example, by typing “0*” in the search bar (without the quotation marks), you filter out the really bad Pokémon with 20% IV and worse. “4*” shows the Pokémon with perfect scores (i.e. 100% IV). The search command can also be expanded using commas. So if you want to filter the bad Pokémon in your collection, type “0*,1*,2*” in the search bar. The other way around, type “3*,4*” to filter out only the good mon. Especially on Community Day or special events, this will save you a lot of time.

Names

We start very simply: by entering the name, for example “Pikachu”, the matching Pokémon will be displayed.

However, this also works with nicknames.

Some trainers have also named their Pokémon after values like “15 14 15” or “97”. You can also find your Pokémon this way, and if you enter a number, the Pokémon’s number will also be spit out in the Pokédex.

Numeric search terms

WP

by entering wp10, for example, all Pokémon with 10 Battle Points will be displayed. Of course, this also works with other WP numbers. This is especially useful if you are looking for Pokémon for certain PvP leagues.

KP

the same is true for the life points (kp). example: kp168

Pokédex number

As mentioned above, you can also search for Pokémon by their Pokédex number. For example, 50 will show you all your Digdas because Digda is #50 in the Pokédex.

Keywords

Hatched

Shows all Pokémon that you have obtained from eggs.

Swapped

Type Search

For example, Unlight shows all Unlight Pokémon, Electric shows all Electric Pokémon, etc.

Mysterious

“Mysterious” shows all mysterious Pokémon like Mew, Celebi or Meltan in your collection.

@weather

Attack Search

@Attack

@Bite shows all Pokémon with the attack Bite, @Fury Attack shows all with Fury Attack, etc. You don’t have to write out the attack completely.

@attack type

@Unlight shows all Pokémon with Unlight attacks, @Electric shows all with Electric attacks, etc.

@1Attack

@1unlight shows all Pokémon with an Unlight instant attack, @1psycho all with a Psycho attack, etc.

@2Attack

Similar to the previous search command, shows Pokémon with specific charge attacks. So @2Water shows all Pokémon with a Water Charge Attack, etc,

@3Attack

Shows all Pokémon with a second charge attack of that type. So, for example, if you are looking for your Keifel that has a Ground Charge Attack in addition to the Ice Charge Attack, enter @3Floor.

Family search (+ search function)

If you put a + in front of the Pokémon’s name, the whole Pokémon family or the Pokémon’s evolutions will be displayed. For example, if you type +Glumanda, you will see Glumana, Glutexo, and Glurak. The command sometimes requires you to re-enter the search box.

Non-search (!-search function)

If you put an exclamation mark in front of the Pokémon’s name, parameters that do not apply will be displayed. For example, typing !evolve will display Pokémon that cannot be evolved.

Combining Search Results (& and /)

You can use & and / to combine search results. For example, if you are searching for your Dragorans with Rage Attack, type Dragoran&@Rage Attack.

Show multiple search results (comma and semicolon)
Similar to the search command before, filter different search commands. For example, if you are looking for an iridescent lucky Pokémon, enter “iridescent, lucky.”

Range Search (Minus Sign Function)

Shows you Pokémon in a specific WP or KP range in conjunction with the number you want. For example, if you are looking for Pokémon in the WP range between 1,300 and 1,400, type wp1300-1400.

If you set the minus sign before, Pokémon with less than this value will be displayed. For example, if you want to know which Pokémon have 120 or less CP, type “kp-120”. The same applies to WP.

Pokémon GO

Pokémon Go is the mobile spin-off of Nintendo’s popular Pokémon game series for Android and iOS. It is a so-called “location-based game”, i.e. a game that uses the player’s immediate surroundings. It is based on the principle of augmented reality.

Pokémon Map: Between landmarks and sights

Pokémon Go uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) to determine the player’s location and displays it on a map that also represents the playing field. The map is based on OpenStreetMap maps. The game is played mostly outdoors and uses landmarks, landmarks and other notable or eye-catching objects in the world to position either PokéStops or arenas there for you to battle for supremacy. Join either Team Intuition (Team Yellow, Zapdos), Team Wisdom (Team Blue, Arktos), or Team Daring (Team Red, Lavados). Under their flag you can then fight for the arenas, which are placed at hotspots like churches or similar. Pokémon can appear anywhere, though.

Pocket monsters visible on the Pokémon Go Map are randomly loaded into the game’s virtual map by the game server. If several players are playing in the same location, each player can see and catch the Pokémon independently of the others.

Pokémon Go Updates, News, Raids and More

The developers at Niantic regularly provide Pokémon Go with new updates or special raids that should only be tackled in a group of several people. The Pokémon Go Raids are therefore very popular, as they also offer the prospect of particularly rare Pokémon. For example, in the past, legendary Pokémon could always be caught on special occasions (Pokémon Go events). For particularly eager mobile or smartphone Pokémon trainers, there is also an external IV calculator, such as the online tool from Pokemon.gameinfo.io or on Pokefans.net, to check the values of your Pokémon.
