Get Pokémon data
get_pokemonRead-onlyIdempotent
Fetch a Pokémon's competitive profile with types, base stats, abilities, weight, gender ratio, egg groups, and evolutions. Accepts Showdown names or forms case-insensitively.
Instructions
Look up one Pokémon and return its competitive profile: types, base stats and BST, abilities by slot, weight, gender ratio, egg groups, and evolutions. Accepts any Showdown name or form, case- and punctuation-insensitive ("garchomp", "Ogerpon-Wellspring", "rotom wash"); unknown names return an isError listing near matches. Use search_dex when you only have a partial name, list_forms for alternate or cosmetic forms, and calculate_stats when you need stats computed from EVs, IVs, and nature. Read-only and offline over the bundled Showdown dataset — no network, auth, or rate limits.
