Question 1

How do I calculate evolved CP using this Pokedex JSON?

Accepted Answer

Use the 'multipliers' field in the JSON data. For example, if a Pokémon has a multiplier of 1.58, multiply the original CP by that value. The README provides the formula EvolvedCP = OriginalCP x multiplier, with a Bulbasaur example for clarity.

Question 2

PokemonGO Pokedex JSON vs PokeAPI: which is better for my project?

Accepted Answer

This JSON dataset is focused on first-gen Pokémon GO data with spawn mechanics, while PokeAPI offers broader Pokémon data across all games but may lack GO-specific details. Choose this for simple, static GO data integration; use PokeAPI for comprehensive, multi-game data with API endpoints.

Question 3

Does this include shiny Pokémon or event data?

Accepted Answer

No, the dataset does not include shiny Pokémon variants or event-specific information. It only covers standard attributes like stats, types, and spawn data for the first generation, as per the README.

Question 4

Is this data up to date with current Pokémon GO gameplay?

Accepted Answer

The data is static and based on the game at the time of creation, so it may not reflect recent updates, events, or changes in spawn rates. For accurate current data, verify with official sources or community updates.

Question 5

Can I use this JSON commercially in my app?

Accepted Answer

As an open-source project, it's likely free to use under a permissive license (check the repository for specifics), but always attribute the source and ensure compliance with Pokémon GO's terms of service for commercial use.

Question 6

How do I filter Pokémon by type using this dataset?

Accepted Answer

Since it's a raw JSON file, you'll need to implement custom code to parse and filter data. For instance, in JavaScript, you can use array methods to find Pokémon with specific types listed in the 'type' field of each entry.
