Contact Pocketdex Support

I downloaded Pocketdex to compare it to Poke Genie, which has set the standard for Pokemon Go utility apps. My frustrations set in immediately. My first test scan was Mewtwo. Pocketdex insisted it was a Mew, and wouldn't give me Mewtwo as an option to change it to. My next scan was a dragonite. This time the app was a little closer: it asked if it was a Dratini, a Dragonair, or a Dragonite. I can remember only one time out of thousands that Poke Genie has ever asked for help with identifying a Pokemon, and it was because I made a bad screenshot. It didn't scan what the moveset was. I had trouble entering the appraisal information, and couldn't figure out how to make corrections. Poke Genie would have taken care of all that quickly and easily.

In short, using Pocketdex would add more time and effort and give me less, the opposite of what I need. The makers have a long ways to go before this app will be worth considering as an alternative.

App doesn’t work as described. Pro subscription is a waste and doesn’t make uploads much smoother. You have to have to open the app before you open Pokémon Go, take a screenshot and the app shows a drop down notification of the IV info. You still have to update appraisal and moves info to get an accurate score. Most of the time it cannot even read Pokemon acquired from raids.

I am using PokeGenie now which can read all the Pokemon I have tried so far, from field and raids alike. Includes a battle simulator and while you have to upload screenshots and update appraisal info, most of the time it reads moves automatically. The PokeGenie also asks if you have leveled up based on the stats of the Pokémon you scan, keeping your Pokémon in the app updated. Just altogether more accurate and easier to use.

Mostly you will get unknown results or a wide range of IV. About 20% of the time you get a defined IV. The reason you do not results is because the app can not determine the level of your Pokémon. It asks you to update your level in this app but nothing changes. This happens with certain Pokémon and the error repeats so you cannot simply try again. If you don’t want to pay and do not mind these issues it is a decent app.
Update: with recent updates to Pokémon Go this app is now not capable to give a limited defined IV. I can still use it to calculate how much candy and stardust I need to power up a Pokémon to max. The raid feature only allows you to add one manually and does not have a full database of current raids. For raids it would be look for a local social media group.
