Sidekick: Great League Coach is an Android app for Pokémon GO’s Great League. It shows IV Rank as you appraise, builds teams from your own Pokémon, and explains every GO Battle League battle.
Sidekick works like a guide open on a second screen. It reads your screen and shows you information, nothing more.
Sidekick is independent from Niantic, so the final call is yours.

For collectors, catchers, and battlers.
Get it from Google Play. There’s no account to create.
Tap the Sidekick button in the app or in Quick Settings, then allow screen capture.
Sidekick shows up when you appraise a Pokémon and after each battle. The rest of the time it stays out of the way.

No. Hints during a live battle would be unfair to your opponent and could break the game’s rules, so Sidekick doesn’t give them. During a battle it only takes notes, and your after-battle report comes when the battle ends.
On your phone. Screen images are never stored or sent, and there’s no account. If Android backup is on, your Collection and battles can be copied to your own Google account.
A message from the creator
Hi! Over the years I’ve used many Pokémon GO apps. Something was often missing, and getting anything added was impossible.
So I’m building Sidekick to be different. It’s my first app, made solo in the evenings after my corporate day job, and I believe it can be truly great if I build it for you (and hopefully with you).
That’s why I read every suggestion, and the best ideas become new features, sometimes over a weekend.
Thank you for being here.
