A floating window can show IVs, CP, level, and Great/Ultra League ranks while you play. ■ Compare your Pokémon See league ranks across your Box. Check the Stardust, Candy, XL Candy, and level needed to reach your target CP. ■ Pokédex and raid counters Look up base stats, type matchups, evolutions, moves, and ideal league IVs. For raids, check a boss’s weaknesses and which Pokémon in your Box are strong against it. ■ Build search strings Choose conditions to build a search string for the game’s search field. In Japanese and English, you can also describe what you want in chat and refine the conditions through follow-up questions. Screenshot reading and calculations run on your device.
