Pokodex is the companion Pokopedia app designed for Pokopia players who want to do less guessing and more building. Learn about types, rarity, the useful abilities they teach Ditto, and the exact location where they appear. Then discover how to actually obtain them: every habitat in the game is detailed with the blocks, items, layouts, weather, and times of day that trigger each appearance. Need to craft something? Search by item or ingredient and go directly to the recipe. No more digging through menus or wasting resources. As you play, check off the creatures you've tamed, the habitats you've built, and the recipes you've unlocked. Pokodex automatically tracks your progress—and manages multiple profiles, so everyone on the same Switch has their own save file. Everything works offline. The complete database is included in the app, and community-verified updates arrive automatically as players make new discoveries. Free download. Just Pokopia. Pokodex is released alongside Pokopia and is updated regularly as soon as new discoveries are confirmed by the community. -- Legal Disclaimer This app is an unofficial fan application and is NOT affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Nintendo, GAME FREAK, or The Pokémon Company.
