The storage system in Pokémon GO

In Pokémon GO, the player has a Pokémon Box that can initially hold 250 Pokémon, including up to 12* Eggs. Pokémon Storage Upgrades can be purchased in the Shop for PokéCoin.png200, with each upgrade expanding the capacity by 50 Pokémon.

The Pokémon Box screen allows the player to sort Pokémon, in ascending or descending order, by the following criteria:

  • Most recently acquired
  • 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 transfer mode where they can mark multiple Pokémon to be sent to Professor Willow. This feature was added in version 0.49.1 (labeled 1.19.1 in the iOS App Store), which was released on December 8, 2016.

Maximum capacity

The current maximum upgradeable capacity is 6,800 Pokémon. This limit has been increased over time.

Start date Max. capacity
December 8, 2023 7,300
August 1, 2023 6,800
December 14, 2022 6,200
June 4, 2022 6,000
December 15, 2021 5,500
November 15, 2021 5,000
June 4, 2021 4,500
December 1, 2020 4,000
July 23, 2020 3,500
November 22, 2019 3,000
July 29, 2019 2,500
November 21, 2018 2,000
December 8, 2017 1,500
Initial release 1,000

Search queries

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. The search bar also supports key terms that are not searched as literal strings, with these first being supported in version 0.67.1 (labeled 1.37.1 in the iOS App Store), released on June 20, 2017.[1]

All of the following searches are case insensitive. The keywords listed below are the keywords used if the game is set to English; if the game is set to a different language, the keywords are based on that language.

  • All terms with {numeric} can accept either a single non-negative integer value or a range of non-negative integers, used as follows
    • cp1500 returns all Pokémon whose CP is exactly at 1500
    • cp-1500 returns all Pokémon whose CP is at 1500 or lower
    • cp1500- returns all Pokémon whose CP is at 1500 or higher
    • cp1500-2500 returns all Pokémon whose CP is inclusively between 1500 and 2500
  • {type} can be any of the 18 types
  • {name} is any player-inputted value that may be searched.
    • If the input string is a search keyword, then its function as a keyword takes priority. For example, if a Bulbasaur has a nickname "Dragon", searching dragon will not return this Bulbasaur.

Logical operators

Logical operators allow for more complex, combined queries. Operators are evaluated in the order they are listed below.

Given this order, !dragon&@ice,@fairy would return all non-Dragon-type Pokémon that know either an Ice-type or a Fairy-type move.

Term Definition Examples
! Complement
Logical "NOT"
!water returns all Pokémon that are not Water-type
,
:
;
Union of conditions
Logical "OR"
fire,evolve returns all Pokémon that are Fire-type or can evolve
&
|
Intersection of conditions
Logical "AND"
shiny&swinub returns all Shiny Swinub

Moves

Move searches are formatted as @{1/2/3}{term}. The {1/2/3} is optionally used to narrow results to a specific move slot:

  • @1{term} searches for Fast Attacks
  • @2{term} searches for the first Charged Attack
  • @3{term} searches for the second Charged Attack

Encounter method

Encounter methods (other than hatched and traded) were not tracked until October 31, 2020, so Pokémon caught before this date will not be returned for search queries for these terms (other than hatched and traded). Likewise, the same applies when searching hatched for Pokémon that were hatched before being hatched started to be tracked circa July 2017.
