Quality of Life: Advanced filters for Costume Pokémon (especially Pikachu)
Hello Pokémon GO Team,
I would like to suggest a quality-of-life improvement that would greatly help collectors.
Over the years, Pokémon GO has introduced hundreds of costume Pokémon, especially Pikachu. Many long-time players now own hundreds of Pikachu variants, making collection management increasingly difficult.
I would love to see advanced filtering and sorting options for costume Pokémon.
Suggested features
- Filter by costume name (Halloween, Christmas, Explorer, Detective, etc.)
- Filter by gender (male/female) directly within a costume.
- Filter by evolution availability.
- Group identical costumes together when sorting.
- Display the costume name in Pokémon details.
- Add a Costume Dex showing owned and missing variants.
Why this matters
Many collectors try to keep:
- one male and one female,
- one shiny male and one shiny female,
- all evolutions when available.
At the moment, this requires opening every single Pokémon manually because there is no way to distinguish costumes efficiently.
This feature would not change gameplay or balance. It would simply make collecting easier and more enjoyable for thousands of dedicated players.
Thank you for considering this suggestion.

There is a way to show which ones can evolve.
