How to Delete Pokemon on Pokemon GO: A Quick Guide

Last updated
Ever wondered how to make room in your Pokemon collection by deleting some on Pokemon GO? You’re not alone! Let’s dive into how you can tidy up your virtual Pokemon stash.
So, you want to clear out some Pokemon in Pokemon GO, right? Well, let’s get right to it.
Deleting Pokemon Simplified
Firstly, to delete Pokemon, you need to open the Pokemon GO app and go to your collection. Here you’ll see all your captured Pokemon. Tapping on the Pokemon you want to remove will bring up its profile.
Once in the Pokemon’s profile, look for the menu button (it looks like three vertical dots) in the bottom right or top right corner. Tap it, and you’ll see the option ‘Transfer to Professor.’ When you select this option, you’ll be giving your Pokemon back to Professor Willow. In return, he gives you a candy related to that Pokemon. It’s important to note that once you transfer a Pokemon, it’s gone for good. So make sure you’re ready to say goodbye!
