## What is Ketchup for Poké?

Ketchup is full featured *creature encyclopaedia* app that will help you become a true master of a specific series of games.

It’s fast and easy to browse or search for all the information you could ask for, whether you’re just brushing up or you’re in the heat of battle and need to know the right move, right now.

Catch ’em all
You can track what creatures you’ve captured, including whether or not you’ve caught their rare shiny variants. 

Type Calculator 
It includes a type calculator, helping you get the edge in battle.

Daily Quiz
Every day Ketchup shows a new quiz, to see if you can guess creatures based on their silhouettes. I think fans of the anime will enjoy this a lot.

Ketchup+
Ketchup is free to use but only shows information for the original 151 creatures unless you purchase Ketchup+

I hope you enjoy using Ketchup as much as I’ve enjoyed building it.

### 5/5 — great app

*2025-12-28, version 2025.4*

its like bulbapedia but simplier, smoother, and overall feels more like a pokedex than a wiki which is totally awesome. i just wish there was an option to see the shiny sprites of the pokemon

### 5/5 — Amazing! Would recommend to all Pokémon fans

*2025-09-20, version 2025.1*

This is an amazing Pokémon app! I’ve been looking for this all my life! Simple UI! (Bought Ketchup+) Also some suggestions. You should add a catching method for every game for the premium version And also it would be cool if you could like organize Pokédex progress by game. Also you should add ways to acquire items. But really an amazing app and for only 5 dollars the features are amazing.

### 3/5 — Ketchup+ is annoying

*2025-06-08*

I love the idea of the app, and it is really helpful. I get that you need to make money some how, but I feel that it should be different. My suggestion is that you give access to all Pokemon , the ketchup + gives you separate sex’s for each game. I would buy it for a scarlet dex!

### 1/5 — It needs a subscription

*2025-05-02, version 2025.1*

Do not buy unless you are a pro Pokémon fan

### 4/5 — Yes

*2025-04-30*

I like this love, it has everything needed for anything, sure it won’t read out the Pokémon descriptions but it’s still amazing and holds more than a normal Pokédex, like daily “Who’s that Pokémon” games and way to figure out what types are more effective against others. Even though it cost 10$ for all Pokémon to be available it’s still worth it. I do think there should be a map update, it would be cool if you can see the maps for every Pokémon generation, helping you navigate. But it’s a great app and I highly recommend it

### 5/5 — Like having a Pokédex in your pocket

*2025-04-12*

There are quite a few Pokemon-obsessed kids in my life. Having a complete list of every Pokemon, move, and type match in your pocket comes in handy more often than you’d think.

On top of that, the app is excellently crafted and a joy to use. Thanks for making it!

### 5/5 — Really Good

*2025-04-07*

Ui/Ux are clean, app is really good.
Just miss some functionality :
- Regional Form doesn’t have own stats
- Team builder
For me nearly the best dex app on app store 😇

### 4/5 — Very useful! Needs regional dex for each game!

*2025-03-29*

I absolutely love this app, I especially love how it keeps track of mons I’ve caught/ need to catch, however the feature feels a little pointless when I can’t actually see the full regional dex for a specific game. Maybe add a way to keep track of the pokedex from specific games

### 1/5 — Caro

*2025-03-17, version 2025.1*

Un poco elevado el precio para información tan básica

### 1/5 — Filter features don’t work

*2025-02-09*

When using the filter features it doesn’t work. I paid for the $19.99 for the app and it doesn’t work properly

**Developer response:** Hey, sorry about the issues you’ve been seeing. It would be great if you could email me with more details at ben@obscura.studio and I’ll try to get that sorted asap.
