Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow.

### `pokeapi_find_pokemon`

- The name "pokeapi_find_pokemon" says "find": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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 provided are combined with AND logic, and query adds strict token matching on name within them. A call with no category filter, with or without query, returns an empty result and a notice naming the requirement.
```

### `pokeapi_get_ability`

- The name "pokeapi_get_ability" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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_item`

- The name "pokeapi_get_item" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get item details by name or numeric ID — effect text, category, versioned purchase and sell prices, fling power, item attributes (holdable, consumable, etc.), sprite URL, and Pokémon that commonly hold it.
```

### `pokeapi_get_move`

- The name "pokeapi_get_move" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get move details by name or numeric ID — type, damage class, power, accuracy, PP, priority, target, stat changes, status-effect chance, and full English effect text. Set include_learners=true to include the list of Pokémon that can learn the move. Move names are available from pokeapi_get_pokemon when include_moves=true.
```

### `pokeapi_get_nature`

- The name "pokeapi_get_nature" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get nature details — the stat boosted (+10%), stat reduced (-10%), and preferred/disliked berry flavors. Omit the identifier to list all 25 natures at once. Natures are critical for competitive team-building: every non-neutral nature modifies two stats by ±10%.
```

### `pokeapi_get_pokemon`

- The name "pokeapi_get_pokemon" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get a fully denormalized Pokémon dossier in a single call — base stats, types, abilities (with full English effect text), height/weight, resolved evolution chain, sprite URLs including official artwork, species flavor text, variety list, capture rate, growth rate, gender rate, legendary/mythical flags, egg groups, and (optionally) a summarized learnable-move list. Accepts a name (lowercase, hyphens for spaces, e.g. "bulbasaur", "mr-mime") or PokéAPI Pokémon-record ID. A species name with no Pokémon record of its own (e.g. "deoxys") resolves to the default variety of that species ("deoxys-normal"), reported in resolvedFromSpecies. Set include_moves=true to include the move summary (large); defaults to false. Use game_version to select flavor text from a specific game (e.g. "sword", "red"); falls back to the most recent English entry when the version is not found. Use pokeapi_find_pokemon to discover Pokémon by type, generation, or egg group before calling this tool.
```

### `pokeapi_get_type_matchups`

- The name "pokeapi_get_type_matchups" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
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 (e.g. Fire/Flying vs Rock = 4× because both types are weak to Rock). Exactly one of type or pokemon must be provided.
```
