CaptureSight is a Nintendo Switch homebrew application that allows users to view Pokémon data while playing Pokémon games, specifically Pokémon Sword & Shield, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, and Pokémon Legends Arceus.

The application provides information such as Pokémon species, attacks, IVs, and more for wild Pokémon, in-trade Pokémon, raid Pokémon, party Pokémon, and underground Pokémon depending on the game being played.
