Order of attacking pokemon?

Hi guys,

I was wondering: is there a way to name your pokemon in a way that the ones you want to battle a gym with directly appear on the team list without a need for a change?
I always have different mons on the list and they are never correct^^ it's quite annoying to change all 6 to cp1250 electric for prestiging a water gym :(

Add a non-alphanumeric character at the start of the name, then sort your Pokemon by name, and then all your prestigers will be at the top.

If not, for example if you add symbols to the names of your other Pokemon, keep trying different characters until they do. For example " is sorted higher than ( at least on my phone.

Since the update it trashed the system I had, I now sort them like this. Select sort by A-Z and then group your prestigers in newmerrical order. I use water quite a lot due to the amount of Rhydons around So waters get a 1 as a name. Electrics next, vapes, garados etc get named 1A this way I can quickly find what I want. Hope that helps. Also handy to have some low CP at the top as fillers hence named 0.

Since the update, the sort conforms to ascii standards. I use ' to denote prestiger.

I already have the naming done for faster changing of the mons but does this also influence the >>preselected<< 6 mons?

I have a naming scheme too.

I help preselection in one way:
I mark my dispensable pokemon as favourite. This way, they are (1) prefered by preselection algorithm and (2) found at the top sorting by (*).
Sometimes, this works fine with preselecition, but i always have to do some fine-tuning.

Sorting by name gives my the non-dispensable prestigers, Sorting by CP gives my normal Attackers and Defenders.

No, it will still always select mons for you, would be ideal if it remembered your last selection but I guess with fainted Pokémon it makes the job harder if people don't revive in between
