Scan your Pokémon GO Pokédex live. Nexus Dex updates what you are missing across every Pokédex as you scroll: Shiny, Lucky, XXL, XXS, G-Max, Mega, Shadow, Purified and Perfect (100% IV). Then add friends to compare gaps, find the trades that fill both Pokédexes, and see which events to play. Scanning is free forever and runs entirely on your device. HOW IT WORKS Open your Pokédex in Pokémon GO and start a live scan. The Nexus Dex HUD floats over the game, shows which entries are confirmed and tells you when to keep scrolling. Tap a Pokémon in the game and Nexus Dex reads its CP, IVs and moves. You can also upload screenshots of a Pokémon or a Pokédex page. Curated dexes such as Dynamax stay in step with what is released in the game and update with each event. KEY FEATURES - Every Pokédex type in one place: what you have, what you are missing and what is available in Pokémon GO, with released and unreleased totals tracked for Shiny, Shadow, Purified, XXS, XXL, Mega and G-Max. - Friend Dex: add friends and compare Pokédex completion instantly. See what they need and what they can trade you. When both of you are up to date, trades match automatically; propose them in app or with a shareable trade card you can share. - Wish list and search: pick what you are chasing, then check whether you hold something a friend has on their wish list, with a copy-to-clipboard search string for the game. - Events that fit your Pokédex: all released information about Pokémon GO events in your local time, ranked by what you are missing. GO Fest, Spotlight Hours, Community Days, raids and Super Mega raids, research and ticketed events, with one-tap add to any calendar app. Event data by LeekDuck.com, with thanks to them for sharing it for the community. - Trainer profile: answer a short questionnaire and your profile shows only what matters to you, including your top 40 missing Pokémon. - Pro search system: build custom searches from your real gaps to share with friends, and find safe Pokémon to transfer while protecting your treasured, rare, costume, shiny and strong mons. Make room and keep catching. FREE Every Pokédex type, bulk updating, live scanning, event planning and calendar, catch and raid radars, one friend slot and three trade matches per friend. NEXUS DEX PRO - Search string creation for trades and safe transfers - Filter your Nexus Dex by any type and copy the search to your clipboard - Unlimited friends and the full trade engine, filtered by dex type (shiny, lucky, XXL and more) - Live scan of Pokémon detail pages to update several dexes per Pokémon at once - The full events-to-Pokédex engine, including what your friends need from each event PRIVACY Live scanning runs entirely on your device and frames never leave your phone.
