I'm not sure if this has been talked about? I looked but couldn't find anything except one (1) post that wasn't explained very well.

It would be SUPER helpful if we could tell where certain pokemon are while in boxes. Preferably with a little icon next to them.
It's really annoying whenever I go to do something with a pokemon in the boxes and an error pops up telling me it's Rumbling or in the Daycare.
For example, lets say I wanted to evolve a Vulpix. I have four. One is free, one is on a battling team, one is Rumbling, and two are in the Daycare. They are not all in one box.
I would have to go through and find and click every single one, attempting to evolve them and blindly trying to guess where they are. If we had little icons next to them it would greatly help avoid this (and also tell me where they're at quickly, so I can remove them and continue with my action as needed.)
I was trying to find my Alolan Vulpixes that were in the Daycare, and since I'm breeding them for a shiny hunt and I have tons, I spent FOREVER matching up their levels to try and find them in the boxes (I wasn't trying to remove them from the Daycare, I know you don't do that through the boxes. I wanted to give them something.)
Do I need to clarify anything?

TL;DR:
Put a little symbol next to pokemon in the boxes showing where they are (Rumbling, Daycare, Route 53, ect.)

Let's see if my visuals can come up clutch and do this suggestion justice. Came up with this real quick..





Hovering over will tell you where the Pokemon is currently at, or what they're occupied with. It will also be impossible to select them for whatever it is you're trying to get them to do while they are already doing something else.

These won't show if you're on a page like this for example. It'll only show in the pop out selector to add a Pokémon to your Battle Team, into Daycare, up in Auction, etc etc. Wherever it's problematic.

It's a big fat 100% support for me, in any case.

I think this would be an awesome feature. I always have problems with that, especially when it comes to which Combees/Miltanks are on Route 53. It would be nice to know which Pokémon are available and which ones aren't.
