Pokédex

The Pokédex is one of the main elements of Pokmon GO. It is an encyclopedia of information about every Pokémon already caught or encountered by the player. As the player continues to capture new Pokmon, the will fill each entry with information. The name Pokédex is a neologism including "Pokémon" (which itself is a portmanteau of "pocket" and "monster") and "index". The Japanese name is simply "Pokémon Encyclopedia", and it can feature every Pokémon currently in the game.

The can be accessed at any time from the main menu by clicking on the "Pokdex" icon.

Viewing Pokémon Entries
Entries are pages with information about the specific Pokémon species. Pokmon that have not been captured or seen by the player will be unable to view an entry on the specific Pokémon, and will instead see the number where it would be. These entries can be viewed by tapping on the icon of a Pokémon from the main Pokédex view.

Viewing Incomplete Entries
If a Pokémon has not yet been captured, but seen by the player either from a wild encounter or from a Gym, it will be an incomplete entry. These entries can be easily noticed from the overall view of the Pokédex as the Pokémon's image will be a silhouette only. These entries will only display the seen, caught, lucky, and shadow counters, with the "seen" counter being the only one with a number above 0. Any other information normally present will either be blank or unknown.

Viewing Complete Entries
If a Pokémon has been captured, it will be a complete entry. These entries feature the full Pokémon's image which can be seen from the main Pokédex view. Weight and height information will be present, and a blurb about the Pokémon can also be viewed. If the player has captured both genders of the species, the Pokémon's image can be toggled between the two. If a shiny Pokémon has been captured, the shiny form can also be viewed.
