Pokedex and Pokemon Storage
The Pokemon Go App includes a Pokedex and storage area. Pokedex lists all available Pokemon in the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh regions. If you've collected the Pokemon, it's picture will be filled in, if you've seen, but not caught, the particular Pokemon, you'll see a shadow in its respective box. If you haven't seen or caught a particular Pokemon, the box will be empty.
The Pokemon list is the current collection you are storing. You can have several of one Pokemon or different evolutions stored here.
In the shop section, trainers can make in-app purchases. Not all items are available for purchase. Items that can be purchased include pokeballs, lures, incubators, raid passes, potions, incenses, and storage upgrades. Trainers can also purchase gold coins to purchase items.
Eggs can be earned by spinning pokestops or receiving as gifts. When eggs hatch, a Pokemon is born. Eggs can be stored in this section in or out of an incubator. Items are collected in the items page. Collected items include a variety of tools to help trainers catch Pokemon and advance levels.
