## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.4.2 — 2026-08-27

New: Set Up Collection

Already playing Pokémon GO with a big collection? You no longer have to mark hundreds of Pokémon one at a time.

• Guided setup walks you through one region at a time, in a grid laid out like the Pokédex in Pokémon GO, so you can match it row for row
• Mark a whole region caught, then just tap the few you're missing
• Stop any time and pick up exactly where you left off when you switch back
• Find it in Settings, or right after you open the app for the first time

Once your collection is in, lily dex can show you what you're still missing, something Pokémon GO won't.

Also in this update:
• Clearer shiny markers in the Symbol Guide
• Stability improvements and behind-the-scenes fixes
