GoBattleKit helps you prep for PvP in Pokémon GO. The quizzes cover the parts of a battle that come down to reflexes and memory. One asks how many fast moves it takes to reach a charged move. Another teaches when to throw a charged move so you hand your opponent the fewest free turns. A third runs you through type matchups until they are second nature. They are useful for any trainer, whether or not you track IVs. The IV tools help you decide which Pokémon are worth building. Import a CSV exported from PokeGenie's Scan Pro and GoBattleKit checks every Pokémon against the IV spreads that deep-dive analysis has shown to matter in each league, all on your phone. No CSV on hand? Type a Pokémon in by hand and get the same answer. You get: - Quizzes for move counts, move timing, and type effectiveness - IV target checking for Great League, Ultra League, and Master League - Enter Pokémon by hand, or bulk-import a CSV from PokeGenie's Scan Pro export - Your own saved IV targets, with import from pogo-dives deep dives Your data stays on your device. The app downloads public game data and rankings from PvPoke and keeps your imported CSV and saved targets locally. There are no accounts and no ads. Nothing you do in the app is tracked. GoBattleKit is an unofficial fan project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed, sponsored, or approved by Niantic, Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, Game Freak, or PokeGenie.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GoBattleKit at none against GoDex's 1. GoBattleKit also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
