Best Ways to Complete the Pokedex
Know Their Locations and Evolution Method
The easiest way to register most of the Pokemon in your Pokedex is by knowing the locations of each mon and how they evolve! Some Pokemon only appear at a specific time and place, have unique requirements for evolving, or even have multiple evolutions! Get to know and catch them all to quickly complete your Pokedex.

Trade Pokemon With Other Trainers
Another easy way to complete your Pokedex, especially for version-exclusive Pokemon, is to find other trainers and trade with them for the Pokemon you need!

Pokemon the other trainer is missing will jump and have a background glow
When trading Pokemon with other trainers, you might see some of your Pokemon in Boxes will jump and have a background glow on their slots. This means the trainer you're trading with doesn't have these Pokemon in their Pokedex yet!
Actively Catch Pokemon
Try to catch every Pokemon that you haven't caught yet while exploring. In addition to filling your Pokedex, your party will also receive Exp. Points for every Pokemon caught, helping them level up for your next big battle!
But if you're taking a break from training to focus on catching for your Pokedex, make sure to have the best Pokemon for catching, like mons that can inflict status effects and learn False Swipe.
Best Pokemon for Catching
Find Mass Outbreaks
Rare Pokemon can be found and caught easier by checking for Mass Outbreaks on your map. Pull up your map or look at the minimap from time to time to see if there are outbreaks of the Pokemon you need nearby.
Mass Outbreaks are indicated with a red glowing icon on your map. Outbreaks with a question mark indicate unregistered Pokemon so keep an eye out for these!
How to Check for Mass Outbreaks
Know Which Pokemon are Version-Exclusive
Take note that there are Pokemon that can only be found in one version, with each version having 24 exclusive Pokemon. You'll have to ask your friends or trainers in Trading Boards with the version you don't have to trade the other version-exclusive Pokemon with you and complete your Pokedex.
