View policyFrequently Asked Questions
Is Poke Genie safe to use? Will I get banned from Pokemon Go? high
Yes, the app is designed to be safe. According to the app description, Poke Genie 'relies only on screenshot/screen recording and requires no logins,' and it states it is 'fully compliant with Niantic’s terms of service and safe to use.' Multiple user reviews also describe using the app without issue for years, though one recent review reports login problems that may be bug-related rather than a ban issue. The developer claims no affiliation with Niantic but insists on compliance.

Does Poke Genie have a free version? high
Yes, Poke Genie is free to download and use. A recent 5-star reviewer specifically says 'I use the free version and it works fine for me.' The app offers in-app purchases ranging from $2.99 to $47.99 per item, but the core features (IV checker, raid coordinator, name generator) are available without payment.

Can I use Poke Genie to join remote raids with other players? high
Yes, Poke Genie includes a Remote Raid Coordinator feature. The app description explains that you select the Raid Boss and the app automatically matches you with trainers worldwide. Multiple recent reviews confirm this works well: one calls it 'amazing for getting regional Pokemon' and another says it's 'really good for raids and gigantamax battles.' However, one reviewer warns that high-level dynamax battles with a 4-player limit can be risky if lower-level players join.

Why can't I log in to Poke Genie anymore? low
According to one recent 1-star review, some users are experiencing login issues where the app won't log in or allow raid participation, even after reinstalling and granting permissions. The reviewer says they had a stable internet connection. This appears to be a bug affecting a small number of users, as other recent reviews do not mention the problem. There is no official statement from the developer in the available data, but the issue may be device-specific or related to a recent update (version 8.14.6).

How to Use
Poke Genie is a companion app that helps Pokemon Go trainers evaluate IVs, coordinate remote raids, analyze battle stats, and manage their Pokemon collection using screenshots and no login required. (app_description)
Getting Started
Source: app_description_and_user_feedback_noted
- Download Poke Genie from Google Play.
- Open the app and grant screenshot/screen recording permissions (no login required).
- Take a screenshot of a Pokemon in Pokemon Go, then open Poke Genie to automatically scan and display its IV, moveset, and power-up cost.
- Use the Remote Raid Coordinator to join raids: select the Raid Boss and wait for a match with other trainers; then copy the invite code into Pokemon Go.
Key Features (from app listing)
Source: app_description
- IV Checker: Scan Pokemon or appraisal screens to see hidden Individual Values (IVs) to decide which Pokemon to power up.
- Remote Raid Coordinator: Automatically match with trainers worldwide to join legendary and regional raids without needing local friends.
- PvP IV Calculator: Determine the optimal IV combination for Great and Ultra League battles, as high IV doesn't always mean the best PvP stats.
- Name Generator: Automatically generate formatted names that can be copied into Pokemon Go for quick renaming and organization.
This tip is responsive to a verified user complaint from recent_reviews #4, who warns that joining with under-level players leads to losses and penalties for leaving. The app description does not mention this specific limitation.

Theme 'login/access issues' identified in 2 of 5 recent reviews.

5★it's an all around easy app to use, and is amazing for getting regional Pokemon that you don't have as long as they are in raids. I have had some small problems, but it's mostly just people who don't pay attention and won't send the request, also hate it when there's a lot of people in and you have to wait but your raid is almost over so you end up having to back out anyway.

1★Had to change from 5 stars to 1 star. App worked great for me for years. As of late, it won't let me log in or do raids. I've uninstalled and reinstalled twice, given the app all the permissions possible, restarted my phone many times, and still nothing. My Internet connection is always strong so I'm at a loss.

3★To be fair, PG has laggy buttons w/o secondary confirm, so it's incredibly easy to get stuck or move to the next page abruptly (esp w/o a back button). But yes, I accidentally (& regrettably) clicked the wrong button in search of 'report user' (which I couldn't undo). It wasn't intentional, so I'll be more cautious in the future. Simple feedback fixes for y'all: Users hosting large queues should be verified. Lastly, "we're sorry this happened" goes a LONG way. Have a good one ✌️

3★Really good for raids and gigantamax battles! But use at your own risk for high level dynamax battles with a limit of 4 players. Many who are not a high enough level join (min lvl 50 required) you end up losing more times than winning. If you leave the group you get a penalty against you. There should be a way to leave if everyone in the group is under level without it going against you. Its a waste of time and money.

5★I've used this app for the last one to two years and it's absolutely critical! I use the free version and it works fine for me I use it whenever I'm ready to start doing some Pokemon management and really determining which ones I want to keep and in determining what movesets I want using the TM items. There's an entire level of Pokemon that I never would have been able to access without this app you need it if you're playing Pokemon go.
