Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!
The Pokémon Box has its own icon in the Bag menu, separate from any pockets. It is a single continuous list of Pokémon, with newly caught Pokémon placed at the bottom of the Pokémon Box. It can hold up to 1,000 Pokémon. A player can choose to mark a Pokémon as a "favorite" with the 
icon.
Sorting
The player can manually arrange the order in which Pokémon appear in the Pokémon Box, but there cannot be any gaps between Pokémon.
The Pokémon Box can be sorted, with several different possible sort methods provided. If the player sorts their Pokémon Box, any manual ordering of Pokémon within the Pokémon Box will be permanently lost. If the method by which the player has most recently sorted their Pokémon Box is by level or CP, every Pokémon's level or CP (respectively) will be displayed over its menu sprite in the Pokémon Box.
The following sort options are available:
- Sort by order caught
- Sort by Pokédex number
- Sort by level (high to low)
- Sort by level (low to high)
- Sort by CP (high to low)
- Sort by CP (low to high)
- Sort with favorites on top
- Sort by species name
Sorting with favorites on top sorts all favorites and all non-favorites by Pokédex number, but favorites are placed at the top of the Pokémon Box.

The player can search their Pokémon Box for Pokémon with specific attributes. The player can build a query using any number of these attributes, which causes the query to return results based on the intersection of all filled fields.
