Takeaways

• 😀 Keep PVP Pokémon: Focus on Pokémon with good PVP IVs, especially for Great League, Ultra League, and Master League. Use resources like pvpoke.com to find meta-relevant Pokémon.
• 😀 Keep Raid Pokémon: Retain Pokémon that are strong raid attackers. Use sites like gamepress.gg to determine the best Pokémon for each raid type.
• 😀 Keep Pokémon of Personal Value: Pokémon that have sentimental or personal significance (e.g., rare catches, shiny Pokémon) should be kept, even if they aren't meta-relevant.
• 😀 Use IV Filters: To identify good PVP Pokémon, search for those with low attack, high defense, and high stamina (e.g., zero to one attack, three to four defense).
• 😀 Mark Valuable Pokémon: Use stars or nicknames (e.g., dot U for Ultra League) to mark Pokémon you want to keep, preventing accidental transfers.
• 😀 Transfer Duplicates: Go through your collection and transfer Pokémon with low IVs or duplicates, especially from events like Community Days.
• 😀 Use Search Filters to Avoid Transferring Rare Pokémon: Filter out shiny, legendary, mythical, and 4-star Pokémon to prevent transferring valuable ones by accident.
• 😀 Consider IVs for Legendaries and Ultra Beasts: Only keep high-IV legendary or Ultra Beast Pokémon that you will actually use or trade.
• 😀 Manage Shadow Pokémon Carefully: While it's harder to find good IV Shadow Pokémon, prioritize those with at least decent IVs for raids or PVP, and consider purifying them to work on your badge.
• 😀 Organize with Nicknames: Use specific nicknames like dot M for raid Pokémon or dot U for PVP Pokémon to make it easier to organize and filter your storage.
• 😀 Avoid Excessive Transfers: Don't use the 'transfer all' button. Manually check each Pokémon to avoid transferring rare or valuable Pokémon by mistake.
