The '''Pokémon Box''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンボックス''' ''Pokémon Box'') is a Pokémon storage system in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] and {{g|GO}}.
The '''Pokémon Box Link''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンボックス''' ''Pokémon Box''), named '''Pokémon Box''' in English in {{g|GO}} and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], is the [[Pokémon Storage System]] in GO and Let's Go, and an extension of the Pokémon Storage System in {{g|Sword and Shield}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}. It gives the {{player}} access to the Storage System without needing to be at a [[PC]].


Unlike the [[Pokémon Storage System]] in other [[core series]] games, which is divided into individual boxes, the Pokémon Box functions as a single gigantic box. It can also be accessed by the {{player}} at any time, without the need to be at a [[PC]]. However, depositing a Pokémon into the Pokémon Box will not restore its {{stat|HP}}, [[status condition|status]], or {{PP}}.  
In the core series games, due to its functionality, depositing Pokémon into a Box will no longer restore their [[HP]], [[status condition|status]], and [[PP]]. Instead, all Pokémon under the player's ownership, regardless of whether or not they are in the party, will be restored when healed by any NPC.


==In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!==
==In the core series games==
The Pokémon Box is a single continuous list of Pokémon, with newly caught Pokémon placed at the bottom of the Pokémon Box. It can hold up to 1,000 Pokémon. A player can choose to mark a Pokémon as a "favorite" with the [[File:Favorite icon PE.png|20px]] icon.

===Pokémon GO===
The Pokémon Box Link is now a [[Key Item]]. It can also be accessed by pressing the R button from the [[party]] menu. It cannot be used during a [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] or [[Wyndon Stadium|Champion Cup tournament]].
{{incomplete|section|needs=History of maximum upgradeable capacity}}
[[File:GO Storage Upgrade.png|thumb|150px|The storage system in Pokémon GO]]
In {{g|GO}}, the player has a Pokémon Box that can initially hold 250 Pokémon, including up to 9 {{pkmn|Egg}}s. Pokémon Storage Upgrades can be purchased in the {{DL|Pokémon GO|Shop}} for {{PCoin}}200, which expand the capacity by 50 Pokémon. Since July 29, 2019, the maximum upgradeable capacity is 2,500 Pokémon.


The Pokémon Box screen allows the player to sort Pokémon, in ascending or descending order, by the following criteria:
====Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====
* Most recently acquired
The Pokémon Box Link is no longer its own item, but is still a feature unlocked by progressing through the main story. After being unlocked, it can be accessed from the party menu the same way as Sword and Shield. It cannot be used inside Gyms or the {{si|Pokémon League}}.
* Designated favorites
* Pokédex number
* Proportion of remaining HP
* Name
* Combat Power (CP).  


In the case of a tie on the sorting criteria (such as multiple favorite Pokémon or Pokémon with full HP), the tied Pokémon are sorted by Combat Power in descending order.

The player can also hold a press on a Pokémon to activate a [[Released Pokémon|transfer]] mode where they can mark multiple Pokémon to be sent to [[Professor Willow]]. This feature was added in [[Pokémon GO#Version history|version]] 0.49.1 (labeled 1.19.1 in the {{wp|App Store (iOS)|iOS App Store}}), which was released on December 8, 2016

The Pokémon storage screen also allows the player to search Pokémon by name or species; the search results will return any Pokémon whose species name or nickname begins with the searched string. Starting in [[Pokémon GO#Version history|version]] 0.67.1 (labeled 1.37.1 in the {{wp|App Store (iOS)|iOS App Store}}), released on June 20, 2017, the search bar also supports key terms that are not searched as literal strings.<ref>[https://niantic.helpshift.com/a/pokemon-go/?p=web&l=en&s=top-articles&f=searching-and-filtering-your-pokemon-inventory Searching and Filtering Your Pokémon Inventory]</ref>

The Pokémon Box Link (Japanese: ポケモンボックス Pokémon Box), named Pokémon Box in English in Pokémon GO and Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, is the Pokémon Storage System in GO and Let's Go, and an extension of the Pokémon Storage System in Pokémon Sword and Shield and Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. It gives the player access to the Storage System without needing to be at a PC.

In the core series games, due to its functionality, depositing Pokémon into a Box will no longer restore their HP, status, and PP. Instead, all Pokémon under the player's ownership, regardless of whether or not they are in the party, will be restored when healed by any NPC.

Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!

The Pokémon Box has its own icon in the Bag menu, separate from any pockets. It is a single continuous list of Pokémon, with newly caught Pokémon placed at the bottom of the Pokémon Box. It can hold up to 1,000 Pokémon. A player can choose to mark a Pokémon as a "favorite" with the Favorite icon PE.png icon.

Sorting

The player can manually arrange the order in which Pokémon appear in the Pokémon Box, but there cannot be any gaps between Pokémon.

The Pokémon Box can be sorted, with several different possible sort methods provided. If the player sorts their Pokémon Box, any manual ordering of Pokémon within the Pokémon Box will be permanently lost. If the method by which the player has most recently sorted their Pokémon Box is by level or CP, every Pokémon's level or CP (respectively) will be displayed over its menu sprite in the Pokémon Box.

The following sort options are available:

  • Sort by order caught
  • Sort by Pokédex number
  • Sort by level (high to low)
  • Sort by level (low to high)
  • Sort by CP (high to low)
  • Sort by CP (low to high)
  • Sort with favorites on top
  • Sort by species name

Sorting with favorites on top sorts all favorites and all non-favorites by Pokédex number, but favorites are placed at the top of the Pokémon Box.

Search

The player can search their Pokémon Box for Pokémon with specific attributes. The player can build a query using any number of these attributes, which causes the query to return results based on the intersection of all filled fields. Each field (except Markings) can only have one entry. The fields are as follows:

Attribute Notes
Name The player can select a species name of a Pokémon that is registered as owned in their Pokédex.
Type 1 The player can select any of the 18 types. The results returned are not affected by whether a type is a Pokémon's primary or secondary type.
Type 2
Known move The player can select any move that exists in the game, except Celebrate and moves that debuted in Pokémon: Let's Go.
Compatible TM The player can select any move taught by a TM in their possession.
Nature The player can select any nature
Gender The player can select ♂, ♀, or Unknown.
Markings The player can select whether the Pokémon is a favorite or not and any number of markings (each in either blue or red).
