### 5/5 — Amazing, but a few concerns.

*2026-05-25, version 2.1.2*

Ok, this is an Amazing app, but a few things.
1. Paldean Tauros is called the Combat Breed. "Water Tauros" is called the Aqua Breed, and the "Fire Tauros" is called the Blaze Breed.

2. Looking up Paldean Pokémon doesn't always work.

3. Update shop for Legends: Z-A and Mega Dimension.  

4. Update Mega Evolutions for Blissey, Glimmora, Zygarde, etc. 
Thank you for this app! It feels like a real Pokédex!

### 2/5 — Pokémon Legends Z-A

*2025-10-23, version 2.1.2*

Add Pokémon Legends Z-A support, I just got the game and need to have info available on my phone for whenever I need it

### 3/5 — Will there be an update for Legends ZA

*2025-10-19, version 2.1.2*

Great app! Used it on all Pokémon games even the old ones I replayed through but no update for ZA?

### 1/5 — Missing Pokemon

*2025-09-20, version 2.1.2*

Several entries are missing from certain continents a few from Pokémon Emerald

### 4/5 — Really good but features a major bug.

*2025-04-23, version 2.1.2*

Perfect for team building with easy selection of forms, items natures and everything you could want!

However, it does have a major bug where it won’t remember the Pokemon you JUST created and will delete it or it’s moves. Also, does not feature Cosplay Pikachu for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

### 3/5 — One thing missing

*2025-03-05, version 2.1.2*

I like the app it’s worth it to buy the premium. Only thing missing imo is being able to filter by pokemon type when searching

### 2/5 — Maaa

*2025-02-28, version 2.1.2*

It’s OK, but it’s missing from Pokémon and all of Paulda I wouldn’t get it unless the creators make you not have to pay to get all of this. You have to pay money.💵 to get the good stuff I wouldn’t get it and it’s also glitchy. It kicks me out the creators fix this then maybe but until then

                           don’t get it!!!

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2025-02-11, version 2.1.2*

Keeps crashing. Please fix.

### 1/5 — This is getting ridiculous

*2024-11-10, version 2.1.2*

Ok so I really want to give this app a good rating, but I’ve purchased the premium version of this app three times now and it won’t let me use any of the upgrades!!! I can’t search specific games, I can’t make more than like 2 teams, and it’s just really disheartening because I wanted to support this app, and the devs, but I guess I literally can’t.

### 5/5 — PikaDex 🩷🩷🩷

*2024-10-21, version 2.1.2*

I love Pokédex it is the best app!❤️‍🔥
