I was thinking that would be great to have a filtering option by number of candies. That way we will be able to see the pokemons who are ready to evolve or close by. What are your thoughts? ---

There is an “evolve” filter, so this part of your suggestion already exists. Not sure how a “close to be evolvable” filter should work to be honest… If you are interested in more search options take a look at this article, it seems to be quite complete > **[Pokémon Go Search Bar Strings Cheat Sheet | Pokemon GO Hub](https://pokemongohub.net/post/guide/pokemon-go-search-bar-cheat-sheet/)** > > Searching your Pokémon Go storage has never been easier.

This would give you Pokémon with a certain amount of candy if implemented. Absolutely true. But the intention of the OP was to find Pokémon to be “near evolvable”. Searching for Pokemon with let’s say \>47 candy would give you many already evolvable Pokémon (eg. starters you have more than 25 candy for, Pidgey, Rattata,…) but also a Patrat for which you might have 49 candy. This is close to be evolvable, great… But you will also get a Magikarp or Meltan for which you might only have 70 candy… You’d get it displayed, although it’s still far from the 400 candy needed. It’s a nice filter idea on its own, but it wouldn’t help a player to find Pokémon close to be evolvable without false positives. There might be a way to build a complex search string for this, but that’s something for power users and “search nerds” ---

Maybe a new keyword as “need”, amount of candy you still need to evolve one
