It can also be accessed by the {{player}} at any time, without the need to be at a [[PC]].
The '''Pokémon Box Link''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンボックス''' ''Pokémon Box''), named '''Pokémon Box''' in English in {{g|GO}} and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], is the [[Pokémon Storage System]] in GO and Let's Go, and an extension of the Pokémon Storage System in {{g|Sword and Shield}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}. It gives the {{player}} access to the Storage System without needing to be at a [[PC]].


==In the [[core series]]==
In the core series games, due to its functionality, depositing Pokémon into a Box will no longer restore their [[HP]], [[status condition|status]], and [[PP]]. Instead, all Pokémon under the player's ownership, regardless of whether or not they are in the party, will be restored when healed by any NPC.

====In Pokémon Sword and Shield====
====Pokémon Sword and Shield====
The Pokémon Box Link allows the player to access their Boxes at any time, with the exception of during their [[Galar League|Gym Challenges]] and [[Wyndon Stadium|Champion Cup tournament]]. Because of this addition, depositing a Pokémon into a Box no longer restores its {{stat|HP}}, [[status condition|status]], or {{PP}}. Instead, all Pokémon under the player's ownership, regardless of whether or not they are in the party, will be restored when healed by any NPC.
The Pokémon Box Link is now a [[Key Item]]. It can also be accessed by pressing the R button from the [[party]] menu. It cannot be used during a [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] or [[Wyndon Stadium|Champion Cup tournament]].
 
====Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====
The Pokémon Box Link is no longer its own item, but is still a feature unlocked by progressing through the main story. After being unlocked, it can be accessed from the party menu the same way as Sword and Shield. It cannot be used inside Gyms or the {{si|Pokémon League}}.

[[File:GO Storage Upgrade.png|thumb|150px|The storage system in Pokémon GO]]
In {{g|GO}}, the player has a Pokémon Box that can initially hold 250 Pokémon, including up to 12 {{pkmn|Egg}}s (3 spaces reserved for bonus storage). Pokémon Storage Upgrades can be purchased in the {{DL|Pokémon GO|Shop}} for {{PCoin}}200, with each upgrade expanding the capacity by 50 Pokémon, up to a maximum of 6,100 total.
In {{g|GO}}, the player has a Pokémon Box that can initially hold 250 Pokémon, including up to 9 {{pkmn|Egg}}s. Pokémon Storage Upgrades can be purchased in the {{DL|Pokémon GO|Shop}} for {{PCoin}}200, which expand the capacity by 50 Pokémon. Since November 22, 2019, the maximum upgradeable capacity is 3,000 Pokémon.  Prior to this the limit was 2,500 Pokémon after July 29, 2019; and 2,000 Pokémon after November 21, 2018.
 
The Pokémon Box screen allows the player to sort Pokémon, in ascending or descending order, by the following criteria:
* Most recently acquired
* Designated favorites
* Pokédex number
* Proportion of remaining HP
* Name
* Combat Power (CP).
 
In the case of a tie on the sorting criteria (such as multiple favorite Pokémon or Pokémon with full HP), the tied Pokémon are sorted by Combat Power in descending order.
 
The player can also hold a press on a Pokémon to activate a [[Released Pokémon|transfer]] mode where they can mark multiple Pokémon to be sent to [[Professor Willow]]. This feature was added in [[Pokémon GO#Version history|version]] 0.49.1 (labeled 1.19.1 in the {{wp|App Store (iOS)|iOS App Store}}), which was released on December 8, 2016.
 
====Search queries====
The Pokémon storage screen also allows the player to search Pokémon by name or species; the search results will return any Pokémon whose species name or nickname begins with the searched string. The search bar also supports key terms that are not searched as literal strings, with these first being supported in [[Pokémon GO#Version history|version]] 0.67.1 (labeled 1.37.1 in the {{wp|App Store (iOS)|iOS App Store}}), released on June 20, 2017.<ref>[https://niantic.helpshift.com/a/pokemon-go/?p=web&l=en&s=top-articles&f=searching-and-filtering-your-pokemon-inventory Searching and Filtering Your Pokémon Inventory]</ref>
 
All of the following searches are case insensitive.
 
;Search terms
* <code>[text]</code> — Pokémon whose species name or nickname begins with the text
** <code>+[text]</code> — the above and any Pokémon in the same evolutionary family (e.g. <code>+Meowth</code> returns all instances of Meowth and Persian)
** The search term will only be interpreted as a literal string if it does not match any key term or type. For example, searching <code>evolve</code> or <code>dragon</code> will not return a Ditto nicknamed "Evolve" or "Dragon", due to the term being interpreted as a key term or type instead of a literal string.
* <code>[type]</code> — Pokémon of that [[type]]
* Numeric
** <code>[number]</code> — Pokémon whose Pokédex number matches the searched number (e.g. <code>3</code> returns all Venusaur)
** Ranges
*** <code>[number]-[number]</code> — Pokémon whose Pokédex number falls between the two searched numbers, inclusively (e.g. <code>1-151</code> returns all Kanto Pokémon)
*** <code>[number]-</code> — Pokémon whose Pokédex index is at least the searched number (e.g. <code>151-</code> returns all Pokémon starting from Mew)
*** <code>-[number]</code> — Pokémon whose Pokédex index is at most the searched number (e.g. <code>-9</code> returns all Pokémon up to Blastoise)
** Prepending <code>cp</code> or <code>hp</code> to a number instead searches for Pokémon based on CP or maximum HP (respectively) instead of Pokédex index (e.g. <code>cp1000-</code> returns all Pokémon with a CP of at least 1000)
** Prepending <code>distance</code> to a number instead searches for Pokémon based on distance (in km) from where it was obtained to the player's current location (e.g. <code>distance100-</code> returns all Pokémon obtained at least 100 km away from the player's current location)
** Prepending <code>age</code> to a number instead searches for Pokémon based on how many days ago they were caught (e.g. <code>age-7</code> returns all Pokémon caught within the last 7 days, and <code>age0</code> returns all Pokémon caught today)
** Prepending <code>year</code> to a number instead searches for Pokémon based on which year they were caught in (e.g. <code>year2016</code> returns all Pokémon caught in the year 2016, and <code>year2017-2018</code> returns all Pokémon caught from the years 2017 to 2018)
** Prepending <code>buddy</code> to a number (0 to 5) instead searches for Pokémon based on their [[Buddy Pokémon|Buddy levels]] (e.g. <code>buddy5</code> returns all Best Buddies, and <code>buddy2-4</code> returns all Good to Ultra Buddies)
*** <code>buddy0</code> — Pokémon that have never been walked as a buddy
*** <code>buddy1</code> — Pokémon that have been walked as a buddy, but never reached a Good Buddy level
*** <code>buddy2</code> — Good Buddies
*** <code>buddy3</code> — Great Buddies
*** <code>buddy4</code> — Ultra Buddies
*** <code>buddy5</code> — Best Buddies
* All [[move]] set searches begin with <code>@</code>
** <code>@[move]</code> — Pokémon with the searched move
** <code>@[type]</code> — Pokémon with a move of the searched type (note: <code>@psychic</code> returns all Pokémon that know {{type|Psychic}} moves, not merely Pokémon that know the move {{m|Psychic}})
** <code>@weather</code> — Pokémon with a move that is currently [[weather]]-boosted
** <code>@special</code> — Pokémon with a move outside their standard move pool (i.e. all moves that cannot be relearned using a [[TM]], including event-exclusive moves, legacy moves, {{m|Frustration}}, {{m|Return}}, and moves copied by {{p|Smeargle}})
** <code>@1</code> followed by <code>[type]</code>, <code>[move]</code>, <code>weather</code>, or <code>special</code> — Pokémon whose Fast Attack that fits the criteria (e.g. <code>@1bug</code> returns all Pokémon with a Bug-type Fast Attack)
** <code>@2</code> followed by <code>[type]</code>, <code>[move]</code>, <code>weather</code>, or <code>special</code> — Pokémon whose first Charged Attack fits the criteria
** <code>@3</code> followed by <code>[type]</code>, <code>[move]</code>, <code>weather</code>, or <code>special</code> — Pokémon whose second Charged Attack fits the criteria
* [[Evolution]]
** <code>evolve</code> — Pokémon which are currently able to evolve (i.e. the player has the appropriate [[Candy]] and any required item, and currently meets any other requirements)
** <code>item</code> — Pokémon which require an item to evolve, for which the player has the necessary [[Candy]] and item to perform

If you were looking for the Nintendo GameCube software, see Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire.

The Pokémon Box Link (Japanese: ポケモンボックス Pokémon Box), named Pokémon Box in English in Pokémon GO and Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, is the Pokémon Storage System in GO and Let's Go, and an extension of the Pokémon Storage System in Pokémon Sword and Shield and Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. It gives the player access to the Storage System without needing to be at a PC.

Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!

The Pokémon Box has its own icon in the Bag menu, separate from any pockets. It is a single continuous list of Pokémon, with newly caught Pokémon placed at the bottom of the Pokémon Box. It can hold up to 1,000 Pokémon. A player can choose to mark a Pokémon as a "favorite" with the   icon.

Sorting

The player can manually arrange the order in which Pokémon appear in the Pokémon Box, but there cannot be any gaps between Pokémon.

The Pokémon Box can be sorted, with several different possible sort methods provided. If the player sorts their Pokémon Box, any manual ordering of Pokémon within the Pokémon Box will be permanently lost. If the method by which the player has most recently sorted their Pokémon Box is by level or CP, every Pokémon's level or CP (respectively) will be displayed over its menu sprite in the Pokémon Box.

The following sort options are available:

  • Sort by order caught
  • Sort by Pokédex number
  • Sort by level (high to low)
  • Sort by level (low to high)
  • Sort by CP (high to low)
  • Sort by CP (low to high)
  • Sort with favorites on top
  • Sort by species name

Sorting with favorites on top sorts all favorites and all non-favorites by Pokédex number, but favorites are placed at the top of the Pokémon Box.

Search

The player can search their Pokémon Box for Pokémon with specific attributes. The player can build a query using any number of these attributes, which causes the query to return results based on the intersection of all filled fields. Each field (except Markings) can only have one entry. The fields are as follows:

Attribute Notes
Name The player can select a species name of a Pokémon that is registered as owned in their Pokédex.
Type 1 The player can select any of the 18 types. The results returned are not affected by whether a type is a Pokémon's primary or secondary type.
Type 2
Known move The player can select any move that exists in the game, except Celebrate and moves that debuted in Pokémon: Let's Go.
Compatible TM The player can select any move taught by a TM in their possession.
Nature The player can select any nature
Gender The player can select ♂, ♀, or Unknown.
Markings The player can select whether the Pokémon is a favorite or not and any number of markings (each in either blue or red).

Pokémon Sword and Shield

The Pokémon Box Link is now a Key Item. It can also be accessed by pressing the R button from the party menu. It cannot be used during a Gym Challenge or Champion Cup tournament.

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl

The Pokémon Box Link is no longer its own item, but is still a feature unlocked by progressing through the main story. After being unlocked, it can be accessed from the party menu the same way as Sword and Shield. It cannot be used inside Gyms or the Pokémon League.
