Changelog

What's new on the website and the iOS and Android apps, newest first.

November 2026

  1. Bug fixes

    iOS 1.2.3

October 2026

  1. Trainer icons, Rumble traits and Gimmighoul

    iOS 1.2.1
    • Make the trainer icon your own: pick its skin tone, hair, cap and shirt in Edit profile.
    • Shinies from the Pokémon Rumble games take the game's Special Trait (Gutsy, Healthy, Fire Guard and the rest) instead of a nature.
    • Gimmighoul's Roaming Form can be logged from Pokémon GO, or in Scarlet and Violet as a HOME transfer.
    • The iPhone Duo is fully supported, open, folded or closed.

  2. Colosseum, XD and Pokémon Rumble

    iOS 1.2.0
    • Hunt shinies in Pokémon Colosseum, Pokémon XD and Pokémon Rumble, with only the Pokémon that can really be shiny in each.
    • Rumble hunts take your player count, and Rumble's Weekend Edition and the Rumble Blast Shiny Mod are supported.
    • Log your Pokémon Rumble U password and figure shinies.
    • New accounts start private, with a choice in Settings to make new catches public.

  3. Pokémon GO in your collection

    iOS 1.1.6
    • Log your Pokémon GO shinies, with how you got it, the event, CP, IVs, and whether it's Lucky, Shadow or Purified.
    • Collection cards can show the method, and for GO the event, CP and IVs.
    • One Log a shiny button: pick how you found it, from a past hunt, a random shiny, or one you already have.

  4. Where it was caught, and two Tap anywhere options

    iOS 1.1.5
    • Record where a shiny was caught, from the Shiny Found pop-up or Edit catch.
    • With Tap anywhere on, a tap on the number can count instead of opening it for typing.
    • The hunt buttons can fold behind one Hunt options button, so a stray tap doesn't open another page.

  5. Tap anywhere to count

    iOS 1.1.4
    • A new way to count, in Settings, Preferences: tap any empty part of the hunt screen to add an encounter, with a short vibration. A small minus button stays for an extra tap.
    • An option to vibrate when you count with the buttons.
    • Each multi-hunt window can run its own auto-count.
    • Settings are grouped into sections.
