Pokésummary

In the heat of a Pokémon battle, Pokésummary lets you quickly get the information you need!

Pokésummary is an easy-to-use, informative command line interface (CLI) for displaying Pokémon height, weight, types, base stats, and type defenses. It works completely offline, opting to use local datasets instead of APIs. It requires no third-party libraries.

Usage

Command-line usage

The simplest example is passing a Pokémon name as an argument. Here, we want to display Bulbasaur's summary, so we pass bulbasaur as an argument.

pokesummary bulbasaur

Multiple Pokémon names can be chained. Now, we pass the names of Bulbasaur's whole evolution line. Note that Pokémon names consisting of multiple words (e.g. Mega Venusaur) must be surrounded by quotation marks.

pokesummary bulbasaur ivysaur venusaur "mega venusaur"

If you would like to run pokesummary interactively, use the -i flag. Now we can type several Pokémon names, hitting Enter after each one. Use Ctrl-D (EOF) to exit.

pokesummary -i

Since the -i flag reads from standard input, we can pipe Pokémon names to it. If we have a file pokemon_names.txt filled with Pokémon names (each separated by newline), we can use the following to display each of their summaries.

cat pokemon_names.txt | pokesummary -i

Python library usage

Starting from version 2.0.0, you can use Pokésummary as a library.

>>> from pokesummary.model import PokemonDict
>>> pokemon_dict = PokemonDict()
>>> my_pokemon = pokemon_dict["Lanturn"]
>>> my_pokemon
Pokemon(name='Lanturn', classification='Light Pokémon', height=1.2, weight=22.5, primary_type=<PokemonType.WATER: 'Water'>, secondary_type=<PokemonType.ELECTRIC: 'Electric'>, base_stats=PokemonBaseStats(hp=125, attack=58, defense=58, special_attack=76, special_defense=76, speed=67))
