Terms of Use
Effective date: October 16, 2026
This is a translation; the Traditional Chinese version prevails in case of discrepancy.
By using RaidLens IV (the "App" or the "Service", including the App and the website), you agree to the following terms. In addition to these terms, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (EULA) also applies; where the two differ, whichever is more favorable to you prevails.
- The App is an unofficial, fan-made tool. Its data may contain errors; please rely on what is shown in the game.
- Trading and Raid Lobbies only help players contact each other. Actual trades and raid battles take place in the game. We do not guarantee that the other party will follow through, we do not intervene in disputes, and no money is involved.
- The Service does not tolerate any inappropriate content or abusive behavior. If you see inappropriate content, tap "🚩 Report"; you can also block the other person. We will handle it as soon as possible.
- Subscriptions are paid through Apple and renew automatically. You can cancel at any time in iPhone "Settings"; refunds are handled by Apple.
1. Unofficial Tool
The App is an unofficial, fan-made helper tool. It is not affiliated with Niantic, Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, Creatures, or GAME FREAK, and is not authorized, sponsored, or endorsed by them.
"Pokémon", "寶可夢", "Pokémon GO", and the names, images, and game screens of Pokémon appearing in the App are trademarks or copyrighted works of their respective rights holders listed above. The App uses these names only for description and identification, and this does not imply any cooperation, license, or endorsement from the rights holders.
The App does not modify, connect to, or control the Pokémon GO game itself. It only reads what is already displayed on your screen (recognized on your phone) and publicly available game data.
2. Accuracy of Information
Information such as IVs, CP, raid boss lists, event times, recommended counters, and translations is estimated from public data, simulations, and screen recognition, and may contain errors or delays, inaccurate translations, or recognition mistakes (for example, the same CP may correspond to multiple IV combinations). We do not guarantee that this information is accurate, complete, or up to date. Please rely on what is shown in the game and on official announcements. We are not responsible for any loss caused by using this information.
3. Accounts and Fair Use
- You can sign in with a Google or Apple account. You are responsible for your account and the Trainer profile you enter. Your Trainer name must not contain offensive, discriminatory, or sexual content, or content that infringes the rights of others.
- You may only enter your own Friend Code. You must not use another person's Friend Code or Trainer name or pretend to be someone else.
- You must not forge records, tamper with experience points, or exploit bugs or use automated means to boost leaderboards, missions, check-ins, or the lottery.
- Leaderboards publicly display your Trainer name, level, and records; people with a subscription or lifetime plan have a crown shown next to their name.
- If you violate these terms, we may, without notice, warn you, remove your leaderboard data, or suspend or permanently disable your account or some of its features.
4. Trading and Remote Raid Lobbies
Before using "Pokémon Trading" or "Remote Raid Lobbies" for the first time, you must read and agree to these terms in the App. Only after agreeing can you post listings, make proposals, host lobbies, or join lobbies. The Service does not tolerate any inappropriate content or abusive behavior, and violations will be handled under Section 6.
- We only help players contact each other. "Pokémon Trading" lets Trainers post, search for, propose, and arrange trades of Pokémon; "Remote Raid Lobbies" lets Trainers host and join lobbies and exchange Friend Codes. All actual trades and raid battles take place within the Pokémon GO game. The App does not and cannot operate the game for you, transfer Pokémon, or hold any in-game items.
- The game screen prevails. Listing contents (Pokémon, stats, detail screenshots, notes, available times) are entered by the person posting the listing, and we do not guarantee their accuracy. Before trading, please check the Pokémon, CP, Stardust cost, and other details on the trade confirmation screen in the game.
- We do not guarantee that the other party will follow through, and we do not intervene in disputes. Trades and lobbies are matters between you and the other party. Disputes such as the other party not showing up, receiving a Pokémon different from what was agreed, the other party changing their mind, or a lobby not starting must be resolved between the parties themselves; we are not responsible for mediating, compensating, or restoring anything. We will act on reports against accounts that violate these terms, but this does not mean we are obliged to intervene in disputes.
- No money is involved. Trading and lobbies in the Service are free mutual help between players. Any form of payment, fee, or cash / virtual currency transaction is prohibited.
- Friend Codes and contact details. In a trade, your Friend Code and the contact details you entered are shown to the other party only after both parties have accepted the trade. In a lobby, the host's Friend Code is shown only to members who join that lobby. Please give your Friend Code only to people you are willing to add as friends.
- Messages during trades. Trades and lobbies provide fixed quick messages (e.g. "I'm here", "Friend request sent") and a way to agree on a time and place; after a trade is completed, the parties can rate each other. Please rate honestly; malicious negative ratings and inflating each other's ratings are not allowed.
- Automatic deletion. Listings not renewed for 7 days are automatically taken down; proposals, chats, ratings, and lobbies all have retention periods and are automatically deleted when they expire. For the detailed periods, please see the Privacy Policy.
- You are responsible for your conduct in the game. The Service only provides contact between players; your conduct in the game must comply with the official Pokémon GO Terms of Service, and any consequences of violating the game's rules are your own responsibility and have nothing to do with the Service.
5. Player-Generated Content and Code of Conduct
"Player-generated content" means things you enter or upload in the Service that other people can see, including Trainer names, trade listings and notes, Pokémon detail screenshots, contact details, proposals, messages, ratings, lobby information, and report notes.
The Service does not tolerate any inappropriate content or abusive behavior. You must not post or do any of the following:
- Harassment and bullying: personal attacks, threats, intimidation, stalking, repeatedly pestering someone who doesn't want to respond, or maliciously standing people up.
- Sexual content and violence: pornographic, sexually suggestive, sexually harassing, violent, or gory content.
- Hate and discrimination: hateful or discriminatory speech targeting race, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, and the like.
- Fraud: listing Pokémon you don't have, pretending to trade in order to deceive the other party, or impersonating others or the Service / official staff.
- Buying, selling, and cash transactions: buying or selling Pokémon, game accounts, or in-game items; paid playing, catching, or leveling services; or any exchange for money, points, or virtual currency, including solicitation or advertising for such.
- Cheats and prohibited tools: promoting, selling, or teaching cheats, bots, modified versions of the game, or other tools or services that violate the game's rules.
- Identity misuse: using another person's Friend Code, Trainer name, screenshots, or account.
- Personal information: disclosing your own or others' phone numbers, addresses, national ID numbers, or other personal information in listings, notes, or screenshots (except in the "contact details" field for trades, which only the other party can see after a trade is accepted).
- Spam and illegal content: flooding, advertising, link redirection, infringing others' copyright / portrait rights / privacy, or other content that violates the law.
We use automatic filtering to block some inappropriate words, but it cannot block all content, so we also need everyone's help in reporting.
Pokémon detail screenshots
When posting a trade listing, you can upload Pokémon detail screenshots. By uploading, you warrant that:
- the screenshot shows your own Pokémon GO account and was taken by you, and is not someone else's screenshot, an image downloaded from the internet, or a modified or composited image;
- you have the right to share the screenshot and doing so will not infringe anyone's rights; if the screenshot contains other people's personal information (such as a friend list or Trainer names), you have covered it.
License: rights in the screenshot remain with the original rights holder. You agree to grant us a free, non-exclusive license to store, resize, remove file metadata (such as location information) from, and display the screenshot to signed-in users within the Trading feature. We will not use your screenshots outside the Trading feature (for example, in ads or promotion), nor sell them to third parties. This license ends when the screenshot is deleted. You can delete your own screenshots at any time, and screenshots are deleted together with the listing when it is taken down.
6. Reporting, Blocking, and How We Handle Them
- Reporting: tap "🚩 Report" next to the other party in a trade, or next to a listing or a lobby's host or member, choose a reason, add notes, and submit. The reported person will not know who reported them.
- Blocking: you can block any Trainer. After blocking, you will no longer see their listings, and they can no longer make proposals to you; any proposals in progress with them are cancelled.
- Other issues: for takedown requests regarding infringement, or situations that cannot be reported in the App, please use the contact form or email raidlens.iv@gmail.com with a description and screenshots.
- Handling time: after receiving a report, we will handle it as soon as possible, first hiding or deleting clearly violating content and then dealing with the account as appropriate.
- Enforcement: depending on severity, we may, without notice, take one or more of the following actions: deleting or hiding content, issuing a warning, suspending or permanently disabling the Trading / Lobby features, or suspending or permanently disabling the account. Serious or repeated violations result in an immediate permanent ban. If you believe an action was taken in error, you can appeal through Contact Us.
- We may (but are not obliged to) review player-generated content. Such content is the sole responsibility of the person who provided it and does not represent our position.
7. Subscriptions and Lifetime Plans
- Payment: all plans are paid through Apple In-App Purchase and charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase. Prices are as shown in the App and on the App Store and may vary by region or promotion.
- Auto-renewal: monthly, quarterly, annual, and other subscription plans automatically renew and are charged within 24 hours before the end of each period, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
- Cancellation and management: manage or cancel in iPhone "Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions". After cancelling, you can keep using the plan until the end of the current period, and it will not renew after it ends.
- Introductory offers and free trials: introductory pricing for the first period (or a free trial, where offered) is limited to once per Apple ID, subject to the conditions shown on the purchase screen. If you purchase the same subscription group during a free trial, the remaining part of the trial is forfeited; if you don't cancel before the trial ends, it automatically converts to a paid subscription.
- Lifetime plans: "Lifetime Ad-Free" and "Lifetime Pro" are one-time purchases that do not renew automatically. "Lifetime" means you can use the plan's contents for as long as the Service continues to be provided; it does not mean the Service will necessarily operate forever.
- Refunds: all refunds are handled by Apple under its policies. Please request one at reportaproblem.apple.com; we cannot issue refunds directly.
- Restoring purchases: when you change phones or reinstall, use the same Apple ID and tap "Restore Purchases" on the plans page.
- Plan contents (for example, which features are part of Pro) may be adjusted; existing major features of a lifetime plan you have purchased will not be taken away.
8. Ads and Lottery
- The free version of the App shows ads (provided by Google AdMob). Rewards obtained by watching ads, such as ad-free time and experience points, can only be used within the App.
- Points and rewards from check-ins, missions, and the lottery have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for cash or transferred.
- There are two kinds of Raid Stars: "Regular Raid Stars" come from raid battles, missions, check-ins, leaderboard rewards, and the sign-up gift; "Ad Raid Stars" are claimed by watching rewarded ads (those claimed directly by members without watching an ad also count as Ad Raid Stars). Both kinds count toward the weekly Raid Star leaderboard, and both can be used to buy add-ons such as pinning and extra slots.
- Raid Stars obtained by watching ads (Ad Raid Stars) cannot be used to redeem or draw physical prizes. Since the lottery may award physical prizes, only Regular Raid Stars can be used for the lottery. This follows the ad provider's rules: rewards for watching ads cannot be exchanged for anything of real-world value.
- Raid Star add-ons: pinning a trade post, pinning a raid lobby, 2 extra "I'm offering" slots for a trade post, and so on are virtual services within the App. They can only be bought with Raid Stars, not with cash. When you buy one, Ad Raid Stars are deducted first, then Regular Raid Stars if those are not enough.
- Raid Stars spent on add-ons are not refunded (including if you delete a post early, a lobby ends early, or your account is disabled). Add-on prices, durations, and limits are as shown in the App at the time of purchase, and we may adjust them at any time.
- You can view the prizes in the Lottery area beforehand, but you cannot draw before it officially opens; the opening time will be announced separately. Prizes, odds, eligibility, how to claim, and personal data handling are governed by the "Official Rules" in the Lottery area, and the organizer reserves the right to review winners' eligibility and adjust prizes.
9. Account Deletion
You can delete your account at any time with "🗑️ Delete Account" in the App menu. Deletion permanently deletes your cloud data, including your catch records, Trainer profile, leaderboard rankings, trade listings and screenshots, and lobby data, and cannot be undone. Deleting your account does not automatically cancel your Apple subscription; please cancel it separately in iPhone Settings.
10. Changes to the Service and These Terms
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the App's features at any time. When these terms are modified, we will update this page and the effective date. By continuing to use the Service after a modification, you agree to the modified terms.
11. Limitation of Liability
The App is provided "as is". To the maximum extent permitted by law, we make no express or implied warranties and are not liable for any direct or indirect damages arising from the use of or inability to use the App. The App is not a party to any trade or lobby and is not responsible for agreements, trades, conduct, or uploaded content between users, but we will handle reports in accordance with these terms.
12. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of China (Taiwan).
