The Pokémon Box is the storage system in Pokémon GO that stores the player's Pokémon. While initially only holding 250 Pokémon, the player can purchase upgrades in the Shop using PokéCoins.
Functionality
Tapping on a Pokémon opens its profile screen.
The player can long press on a Pokémon to activate a multi-select mode where they tag or transfer multiple Pokémon at once. 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, initially only supporting batch transfers of Pokémon.
Storage capacity
The Pokémon Box can initially hold 250 Pokémon. Pokémon Storage Upgrades can be purchased in the Shop for 200 each, with each upgrade expanding the capacity by 50 Pokémon.
The current maximum upgradeable capacity is 7,300 Pokémon. This limit has been increased over time.

Egg inventory
The player can hold up to 12 Pokémon Eggs in their Egg inventory at a time—9 in regular slots and 3 in Bonus Storage slots. There is no way to increase the number of Eggs that can be held at once.
If the player's standard Egg storage is full and they have space in their Bonus Storage, Eggs obtained in certain ways will be placed in the Bonus Storage instead. Specifically, Strange Eggs obtained after defeating a Team GO Rocket Leader and all Eggs from Weekly Adventure Sync Rewards. Eggs obtained in other ways cannot be placed in Bonus Storage. It is not possible to move Eggs between regular and Bonus Storage.
Sorting
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.
When sorting by Pokédex number, Pokémon are also sorted by form, with each unique form or costume being grouped together.
Filtering
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]

returns all Pokémon whose CP is inclusively between 1500 and 2500
{type}
can be any of the 18 types{name}

dragon
will not return this Bulbasaur.
- 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
