Look up any Pokemon's types, base stats, and abilities from the public PokeAPI. Use whenever the user mentions a specific Pokemon by name or asks about its stats, types, or abilities.
Pokedex
Professor Oak's Pokedex — the agent reads this file only when a Pokemon comes up
(progressive disclosure), then runs the script below. Nothing is loaded into
context until it is needed. This is the "a CLI + its README replaces MCP" pattern.
Look up a Pokemon
./pokedex.sh <name> # e.g. ./pokedex.sh pikachuNames are lowercase, hyphenated for forms (e.g. mr-mime, charizard).
The script hits https://pokeapi.co (public, no API key) and prints one clean
line: types, base HP / Attack / Defense / Speed, and abilities.
When to combine with the battle tool
If the user asks "what beats X?", first run ./pokedex.sh X to get X's types,
then call the type_matchup tool (from the pokemon-battle extension) on each of
those types to reason about offense and defense.
