Frequently Asked Questions

What is BattleFlow?

How does the team builder work?
Add your Pokémon to your in-app box, select a league or cup, and BattleFlow generates ready-to-use team compositions based on what you actually own. It evaluates coverage, threats, and synergy automatically.
Is BattleFlow free?
Yes, BattleFlow is completely free to download and use on both iOS and Android. All core features including team generation, matchup simulation, and battle logging are available at no cost.
What leagues does BattleFlow support?

Does BattleFlow work offline?
Yes. Team generation, matchup simulation, and IV checking all work fully offline. You can build and analyze teams anywhere without an internet connection.
How do I scan my Pokémon's IVs?
There are three ways, and all of them read the species, CP, and IVs for you with no manual typing: pick a screenshot from your gallery, use Auto scan to read appraisal screens as you play, or — on Android — tap a floating scan bubble over Pokémon GO. Set your Trainer Level once in Settings first so the CP and IV estimates are accurate.
Can BattleFlow scan automatically while I play?
Yes — that's Auto scan. On iOS you start a screen broadcast (Live capture) and BattleFlow watches for appraisal screens; on Android you switch the scanner to Auto scan. You'll be asked to allow screen recording (iOS) or screen capture (Android) the first time. Then just open Pokémon GO and view a Pokémon's appraisal — each one pops a result, no tapping needed.
What is the scan bubble on Android?
It's a floating bubble you can show over Pokémon GO. Tap it while viewing a Pokémon to scan that screen instantly, or switch it to Auto scan to read appraisals hands-free. The bubble needs the "Display over other apps" (overlay) permission, plus screen-capture consent the first time — BattleFlow prompts you for both.
Can I scan several Pokémon at once?
Yes. Batch scanning lets you select several Pokémon GO screenshots from your gallery in one pass and review all the results together, so you can check a whole box in minutes instead of one Pokémon at a time.
The scanner isn't picking anything up — what can I do?
A few things help: grant the overlay and screen-recording/capture permissions when asked; open the Pokémon's appraisal screen and pause on it for about a second, since swiping too fast doesn't give the scanner time to read; keep the CP fully visible on screen so it can read CP and best league, not just IVs; and on Android, turn off Game Mode / Game Dashboard if it's hiding the bubble or its notifications. If the CP or IVs still look off, check your Trainer Level in Settings, and you can always correct a misread species or form on the scan result before saving.
