What is the best way to track your Pokédex in Pokémon GO?

Most trainers track their Pokédex with spreadsheets or manual checklist apps, which go stale the moment you catch something new. Nexus Dex scans your Pokédex directly from your screen as you scroll, so your tracker always matches the game with zero manual entry.

Can Nexus Dex track my shiny dex and lucky dex?

Yes. Nexus Dex tracks every dex type Pokémon GO exposes - standard, shiny, lucky, shadow, purified, and 3-star - plus forms and regional variants, with accurate per-dex completion totals.

Does the Pokédex scanner need my Pokémon GO login?

No. Nexus Dex never asks for your game credentials and never connects to the game's servers. It reads what is visible on your own screen using Apple's on-device Vision framework, and the live screen is never uploaded or stored.

Why trainers switch from spreadsheets

If you're chasing a living dex, a shiny dex, or that last regional, you've probably kept a spreadsheet, and watched it drift out of date after every Community Day. A Pokédex tracker only helps if it matches the game, and manual entry never keeps up with 1000+ species, forms, costumes, and per-dex variants.

Nexus Dex takes a different approach: it reads your Pokédex straight off your screen. Open the scanner, scroll your Dex in Pokémon GO like you normally would, and every entry, registered, seen, or missing, is captured in real time. Rescan any time and only the changes update.

Every dex, tracked

Standard dex: full registered / seen / missing state for every species.
Shiny dex: accurate shiny counts, including forms and costumes.
Lucky, shadow, purified & 3-star dex: per-dex completion totals that match the in-game numbers.
Forms and regionals: Alolan, Galarian, Hisuian, Paldean and event forms tracked as separate entries.
Progress at a glance: completion percentage, recent confirmations, and what's still missing, filterable by region, type, and rarity.

Private by design

Scanning happens entirely on your device with Apple's Vision framework. Your screen is never recorded, stored, or uploaded, and we never ask for your game login. What's saved is just the result, dex numbers and their caught state, so your tracker follows you to a new phone. Details in the privacy policy.

Then do something with it

A tracker is step one. Because Nexus Dex knows exactly what you're missing, it can find the trades that fill those gaps across your whole friend list, and its events calendar highlights the Community Days and raids that actually move your completion forward.

Pokédex tracker FAQ

How is this different from a checklist app?

Checklist apps make you the data-entry clerk. Nexus Dex reads the Pokédex you already have. Scroll your Dex once and it's captured. After that, quick rescans keep it current in seconds.

Does it work with my Pokémon GO account?

It works alongside any account, because it never touches your account at all. No login, no server connection, it only reads what's on your own screen.

Is it free?

Scanning and tracking are free forever. Pro (US$5.99/month or US$59.99/year) adds scan history with quick undo, restoring your Dex on a new phone, unlimited friends and trade matches, and your Pokémon against the meta. The full list.
