name	pokedex
description	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 pikachu

Names 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.
