## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.7.9 — 2026-08-19

- New Meta tab: PvP and Raid rankings, weekly raid boss counters that you have with their best moves, and a "Yours" view that shows you what you're missing from the Top 10 PvP/ Raid attackers for each type. 
- Menu bar 4th slot; Search moves to the main menu and Meta has taken it's place, don't like it? Change it back in settings, more options to come to customise this page to your play style.
- Fewer taps in the Pokédex filters; streamlined to open straight to search and toggles
- Bulk Update got bigger buttons and larger text, cleaner and easier to compare when switching screens with PoGo
- Other fixes; legal splash only asks (no more pressing "I Understand" every app open!) once instead of on every launch
- Profile page clean up & polish

Happy hunting!

### 1.7.8 — 2026-08-17

• Event times now follow your timezone. Community Days and other local-time events start and finish when they actually do where you are, so "what's on now" is right and the post-event "did you catch these?" prompt arrives as soon as the event ends local time.
• A faster start. Sign-up goes straight to the guided tour instead of stacking intro screens and questions in front of your first scan.
• Look around before you set up. You can explore the app before adding your Pokémon GO profile screenshot. Live Scan still needs it so it can write to your Nexus Dex profile.
• Shiny release issue discovered (wasn't feeding through to "did you catch these", fixed and all future released automated to feed in.

### 1.7.7 — 2026-08-15

Share your hunt, earn 7 days free Pro!

• New share button on every Nexus Dex Pokédex, send friends a card showing your completion rings and three Pokémon you're still hunting, straight into iMessage or Discord.
• Invite friends, everyone wins: when 2 friends join from your invite link and finish their first scan, you all get 7 days of Nexus Dex Pro free.
• Your invite link now lives front-and-centre: Code is the first tab in Add a friend, with one-tap sharing.
• NEW Scan History log, background work for future raid features preparation, and plenty of polish.

### 1.7.6 — 2026-08-14

- Battle Hub; the live GO Battle League meta for Great, Ultra and Master leagues, with each pick's recommended moveset, and filters for type and region. Rankings from PvPoke.
- Quick Update: Post-event: when an event finishes, tick off what you caught in one go instead of hunting through your dex for each one.
- Who can get you this? On any mon detail page, see which friends already have the one you're missing, and go straight to a trade with them.
- New global menu: packed with new features everyday, we needed a new place to house them, including Bulk Update and your Wish List.
- Compare dexes, rebuilt: Dex Score rates how hard your collection is rather than how big, alongside points for your rarest entries such as mythical and shundos.
- A clear history chart; real totals for both trainers, dates you can actually read, and cuts by Week, Fortnight or Month.
- Minor bug fixes; corrected dex counts behind the charts, trades now say plainly when a Lucky or 100% is only a chance, and smoother swiping between pages.

Enjoy!

### 1.7.5 — 2026-08-12

• Trading has its own home now: Potential, Proposed and Completed, three pages you swipe between.
• Put a trade to a friend in the app and they agree in one tap. It files itself into a shared history that reads correctly for both of you whilst also ticking it off in your Nexus Dexes.
• Send a trade as a card to any chat. Each share has its own colour, and every trade shows which ways it has been shared.
• Earmark a give and a get and Trade Match picks your best swap, ask for it and the card rolls straight on to the next one.
• Compare is now purely head-to-head, with a new chart of your dex against friends over 30 days, 90 days or a year.
• New "Who grinds harder?"l what each of you has actually added, dex by dex, over a week, a fortnight or a month.
• Max Monday and Max Battle history added to the event catalogue, with the Pokémon each one featured.
• Filter your Dex by event and by month, back through the whole catalogue.
• Steadier scanning: Purified and 100% no longer lag behind, and the scan HUD no longer sticks on "ease the scroll".
• Bulk Update now lists your dexes in the same order the rest of the app does.
• Plus polish and fixes throughout.
