Pokemon-go – How to find out if you already have a pokemon and transfer out weaker one

pokemon-go

I know there's a limit to the number of pokemon you can store, and that you have to transfer them to the professor to get more room. My strategy is to keep one or two that are the highest level and transfer the rest out. Of course I need to keep catching pokemon even if I already have them, for the stardust.

My question is, is there a way to sort pokemon (for example in alphabetical order) or search by name? It's really hard if I catch an Ekans and I think I have another and search a bunch to find it to only realize my old one has the higher level. Let me know if the question doesn't make sense and I will refine.

Yes. The bottom right corner of the Pokemon screen has a button that indicates how your Pokemon are currently sorted. There are name and number filters which would solve your problem.

Additionally, there is a CP filter that sorts your Pokemon from strongest to weakest, which helps when fighting gyms or finding a Pokemon to put into an open spot in a gym!
