A blue background indicates a recently-caught Pokemon
If you're looking at your current inventory of Pokémon, there are plenty of ways to sort them, depending on what you're looking for. You can organize them by CP (combat power), number in the National PokeDex, or by how recently it was caught.

Though a newly-caught Pokémon offers no particular benefits, it's helpful to know which ones have been recently added to your person Dex, as you may want to have them appraised to see if they're worth keeping or trading in to the professor. If your new Pokémon has particularly high stats, no matter its CP, you'll want to save it and power it up to make it a strong member of your team
It may also help you to see what Pokémon have been recently spotted in your area and see what ones appear in more abundance than others. The longer you've had a Pokémon, the more likely it is to become a Lucky Pokémon when trading — so think twice before selecting a recently-caught one when swapping Pokémon with your friends.AdvertisementMore from Distractify
