The P★DA keeps track of a Trainer's ID No., their money and Poké Coupons, as well as their playing time. It also has other features, detailed below.

While only certain Trainers can receive a Pokédex from a Pokémon Professor, it appears that just about anyone can own a P★DA, at least in Orre.

In Pokémon Colosseum, the P★DA can also be used to send and receive e-mail and keep track of the Trainer's Poké Coupons. It also has a ringtone that can be customized to the preferences of the user. Additionally, Wes's P★DA was upgraded with the Snag List, a list of the Shadow Pokémon created by Cipher.

Another feature of the P★DA is the Strategy Memo, which is awarded to Wes by a teacher inside of the Pre Gym. It contains a list of all Pokémon encountered, giving the user their type, Ability, height, weight, and appearance. The only drawbacks are the inability to use it in battle, and the fact that one must update regularly with the teacher who awarded Wes with the device.

Rank

When the player has obtained a certain number of Poké Coupons, the Poké Ball symbol in the P★DA will change colors, identical to a rank system. This is similar to the Trainer Card level mechanic from the main series games.

It is fitted with an alarm which triggers when there is activity at any Poké Spot. Most of the time it is a Wild Pokémon that is found at one of the Poké Spots, but sometimes it is a mischievous Munchlax that belongs to a fellow Orre citizen.
