Pokemon revolves heavily around its own game play. There are digital games, the physical card game, and even mobile games. However, there are actually some decent Pokemon apps out there. These apps help you keep track of your physical or digital Pokemon collection, show you guides for the various digital games, and otherwise help you interact with the game at large. There aren't a ton of them but there are some decent options. Here are the best Pokemon apps (not games) for Android! Please note, none of these are games. We have a separate list for Pokemon games on Android. There is also a separate list available for Pokemon Go IV calculators so we won't cover those here either.
- Bulbapedia
- dataDex
- Pokemon Home
- Reddit (and YouTube)
- TCG Hub
- Bonus: 1000+ Poke Wallpapers

Bulbapedia
Price: Free / Up to $6.99
Bulbapedia is one of the biggest and most successful websites in the Pokemon fandom. It has a metric ton of information about each game, each game's Pokemon, and various guides and how-to articles. It boasts a collection of 31,000 entries across all games, various walkthroughs and guides, and it works offline. Some other features include a multi-tab mode for viewing multiple guides at once and a history function to quickly recall something you viewed. It's free to use on its own but you can optionally pay to remove ads and get other features. It's not bad aside from some intrusive ads and some freezing issues.
dataDex
Price: Free / Up to $2.99
dataDex is among the most competent Pokedex apps on Android. It has everything you'd expect from a Pokedex app. There is detailed information about each Pokemon for every game in the series including the latest four for the Nintendo Switch (Let's Go Eevee, Let's Go Pikachu, Sword, and Shield). In addition, the app can tell you where Pokemon are available for capture, what moves they can all learn, a list of all items from each game, and more. The pro version even has a team builder option. The pro version isn't expensive and it's free if you use Google Play Pass.
Pokemon Home
Price: Free trial / $2.99 per month / $15.99 per year
Pokemon Home is probably the best for storing your actual Pokemon. It lets you upload Pokemon from most of the recent games and lets you transfer them to other games. There are some limitations. For instance, Sword and Shield don't have support for all Pokemon. However, it's a great way to manage your collection otherwise. The app also lets you trade with folks, keep track of the national Pokedex, and even receive Mystery Gifts. There are some limitations that we hope the developers address, but it's a good start for how new it is at the time of this writing.
Price: Free / $3.99 per month / $29.99 per year
Reddit is an excellent source of information for Pokemon fans. There are subreddits for the show, the card game, the digital games, the mobile games, and everything between. You can even find forums for wallpapers and other side stuff if you want. There are some bad eggs like most public spaces on the Internet but these are wholly unavoidable. Just try to deal with them as best as you can. In any case, it's a good place to ask questions, search for info, and get advice about builds, teams, and strategies. The app is free (with ads) or there is a premium subscription option that adds a few extra features. You can also find a lot of walkthroughs, guide videos, and let's play videos on YouTube and Twitch.
TCG Hub
Price: Free with in-app purchases
TCG Hub is an app for Pokemon card collectors. The Pokemon Company has an official app for this kind of stuff, but it's honestly not that good. TCG Hub lets you scan your cards in and keep track of them. You can compare your collection to the national Pokedex to see the gaps in your collection. Additionally, the app lets you sync your collection to the cloud, create a wishlist for cards you want, simulate trades, and you can even join the app's Discord server. All the features are available in the free version and the pro version is entirely optional.
Bonus: 1000+ Poke Wallpapers by Fans
Price: Free
1000+ Poke Wallpapers by Fans is, well, a wallpaper app. It features about 1,000 Pokemon-inspired wallpapers from fan submissions and other sources. The app tries to give credit whenever it can and some wallpapers are specific only to this app. Some other features include the ability to auto-change wallpapers, the ability to save wallpapers, and more. Some of the designs are legitimately good and most of them should work on most devices. There are even some AMOLED-friendly ones. The app is entirely free with ads. If this one isn't doing it for you, there are at least a dozen others on the Play Store and probably a couple of subreddits for it.
