• pokeapi_find_pokemon ~520 tokens
  Filter Pokémon by generation, type, regional pokédex, or egg group. Returns names and PokéAPI IDs; every returned name works as a pokeapi_get_pokemon identifier, where a species name resolves to its default variety. At least one of generation, type, pokedex, or egg_group is required; the ones provid
• pokeapi_get_ability ~181 tokens
  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.

• pokeapi_get_type_matchups ~275 tokens
  Get the full offensive and defensive type effectiveness breakdown. Provide either a type name (e.g. "fire", "psychic") or a Pokémon identifier (name or PokéAPI Pokémon-record ID; a species name resolves to its default variety). For dual-type Pokémon, the defensive multipliers are correctly composed
