Get a fully denormalized Pokémon dossier in a single call — base stats, types, abilities (with full English effect text), height/weight, resolved evolution chain, sprite URLs including official artwork, species flavor text, variety list, capture rate, growth rate, gender rate, legendary/mythical flags, egg groups, and (optionally) a summarized learnable-move list. Accepts a name (lowercase, hyphens for spaces, e.g. "bulbasaur", "mr-mime") or Pokédex number. Set include_moves=true to include the move summary (large); defaults to false. Use game_version to select flavor text from a specific game (e.g. "sword", "red"); falls back to the most recent English entry when the version is not found. Use pokeapi_find_pokemon to discover Pokémon by type, generation, or egg group before calling this tool.
Get the full offensive and defensive type effectiveness breakdown. Provide either a type name (e.g. "fire", "psychic") or a Pokémon identifier (name or dex number). For dual-type Pokémon, the defensive multipliers are correctly composed (e.g. Fire/Flying vs Rock = 4× because both types are weak to Rock). Exactly one of type or pokemon must be provided.
Get move details by name or numeric ID — type, damage class, power, accuracy, PP, priority, target, stat changes, status-effect chance, and full English effect text. Set include_learners=true to include the list of Pokémon that can learn the move. Move names are available from pokeapi_get_pokemon when include_moves=true.
Get ability details by name or numeric ID — full English effect text, short effect text, generation introduced, and the list of Pokémon that have the ability (including hidden-ability flag and slot). Ability names are returned by pokeapi_get_pokemon in the abilities array.
Get item details by name or numeric ID — effect text, category, in-game cost, fling power, item attributes (holdable, consumable, etc.), sprite URL, and Pokémon that commonly hold it.
Get nature details — the stat boosted (+10%), stat reduced (-10%), and preferred/disliked berry flavors. Omit the identifier to list all 25 natures at once. Natures are critical for competitive team-building: every non-neutral nature modifies two stats by ±10%.
Filter Pokémon by generation, type, regional pokédex, or egg group. Returns names and Pokédex numbers suitable for follow-up pokeapi_get_pokemon calls. All filters are optional and combined with AND logic; query adds strict token matching on name. When no category filter is provided alongside query, returns an empty result — at least one categorical filter is required.
