The PokeRogue is sitting in your browser right now, full of information that separates casual players from competitive ones. But most players don't know how to use it effectively. They open it when stuck, instead of using it to guide every decision. This blog is your complete reference to the PokeRogue Dex : what information it provides, how to interpret that information, and how to apply it to every phase of your run.

Section 1: Understanding Dex Information

Pokémon stats:
The Dex shows HP, Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, and Speed. Higher stats = stronger Pokémon, but don't prioritize raw stats over passives.

Move pools:
See every move a Pokémon can learn. Check if they learn utility moves or just attack moves. Utility (status moves, screens, boosts) wins games.

Abilities and passives:
PokeRogue passives are different from main-series games. Some are game-breaking. Use the Dex to identify broken passives and hunt for them.

Evolution:
Check evolution levels and stat gains. Plan evolution timing around boss fights.

Boss information:
The Dex documents gym leaders and bosses. See their team, moves, and levels. Never fight blind.

Section 2: Using the Dex for Starter Selection

Step 1: Check available starters
Open the Dex and look at offered starters. Compare stats, passives, and evolution potential.

Step 2: Read move pools
What moves does each starter learn? Are they offensive, defensive, or utility-focused?

Step 3: Check passives
Are any starters' passives particularly strong? Could they carry a team?

Step 4: Consider type
What type does each starter cover? What types would you need to counter in the early game?

Step 5: Make your pick
Choose the most flexible starter, not the highest stat starter.

Section 3: Using the Dex During Team Building

Every encounter:
Check the Dex. Does this Pokémon fill a coverage gap? Does it have a broken passive? Is the move pool useful?

Type coverage check:
After each catch, verify you're not stacking weaknesses. Use the Dex type charts mentally to track coverage.

Passive scanning:
Look for broken passives. When found, evaluate if it's worth restructuring your team.

Move pool evaluation:
Does this Pokémon learn useful moves? Check the Dex—some Pokémon learn only attack moves while others have great utility options.

Section 4: Using the Dex for Evolution Planning

Identify evolution levels:
Check Dex for when your team members evolve. Map out the timeline.

Compare stat gains:
How much do stats increase upon evolution? Which evolutions create biggest power jumps?

Plan timing:
When should this Pokémon evolve? Right before a boss fight? After you secure a win?

Make strategic decisions:
If a Pokémon evolves at level 28 and the next gym is level 27, protect that Pokémon and hit level 28 right before the gym.

Section 5: Using the Dex for Boss Preparation

Find boss info:
Search the Dex for upcoming gym leaders or bosses. See their team compositions.

Check type matchups:
Does your team have good matchups? Or will you struggle?

Identify counters:
If you're weak to the boss, look for Pokémon you can catch that counter them.

Plan your strategy:
Enter the fight with a game plan, not a hope.

Section 6: Item Information on the Dex

Check available items:
The Dex documents items and what they do. Scan for items that synergize with your passives.

Identify synergies:
Which items multiply the value of your Pokémon's passive abilities?

Stack intentionally:
Plan which items to give to which Pokémon. Stack on your carry for maximum value.

Section 7: Common Dex Queries (Quick Reference)

"Is this Pokémon's passive strong?"
Check the Dex. If it multiplies stats, guarantees speed, or generates free value, it's strong.

"Does my team have balanced coverage?"
Check each Pokémon's type on the Dex. Ensure no two share a weakness.

"When does this Pokémon evolve?"
Check Dex evolution section. Know the exact level.

"What move pool does this have?"
Check Dex move pool. Look for utility, not just attack moves.

"What's the boss' team?"
Search Dex for boss info. See their full team and prepare accordingly.

"Which items synergize with my passive?"
Check item information on Dex. Match items to passives for stacking.

The PokeRogue Dex is your complete information resource. Use it for every decision: starter selection, coverage checking, passive hunting, evolution planning, boss preparation, and item allocation. The Dex removes surprises and turns every decision into an informed one. Start opening it at the beginning of each run and referring to it constantly. Your win rate will improve dramatically.
