PokemonGO Search Strings

Here are some search strings you may find useful in PokemonGO.

If you don’t have any good pokemon in the given search, start deleting parts (blue first, then green) to see if you get some results.

Wish List (Niantic, please add these features!)

  • Allow the @ and > search functions to be combined
    • Example: “@1water,@1ground,@1rock”  (becomes)  “@1>fire”
    • Current Behavior: “>Fire” returns pokemon who may have a relevant charged attack but not a good fast attack.
  • Allow the ! and < search functions to be combined
    • Example: “!grass&!ice&!bug&!steel”  (becomes)  “!<fire”
    • Current Behavior: I can search for pokemon who are weak to a type, but not those who specifically are NOT weak to a type.
  • Add a search function for types that take reduced damage from the selected type.
    • Example: “fire,water,rock,dragon”  (becomes)  “^Fire”
    • Current Behavior: There is no way that I know of to search for pokemon who take reduced damage from a specific type of attack.
  • Allow up to 18 custom search strings to be saved, so we can have one for each pokemon type. (WHY isn’t this already the way?!)
