I have been playing Pokemon Go for a few hours now, and I have caught a couple of different Pokemon. Through my playing, I caught some Pokemon that I do not care for nor want anymore. I looked around around the menu, but I did not see an option to release a Pokemon.
Is there a way to release a Pokemon to clear up your storage?
Best Answer
You do not release them, you can transfer them to the professor, this will award you with 1 candy of the Pokemon type.
You do it by clicking the button with 3 lines on it in the bottom right of the Pokemon stats screen.
Then clicking on the Transfer button:
This can also be done directly from the stat sheet when you capture a Pokemon.
