Agent Implementation Notes

Script location: {skill_folder}/pokemon (wrapper) → scripts/pokemon

When user asks about Pokémon:

Run ./pokemon search "name" to find exact name
Run ./pokemon info <name|id> for full stats
Run ./pokemon type <type> for matchup questions
Run ./pokemon ability <name> for ability details

Common patterns:

"What is X weak to?" → Get info for types, then lookup type matchups
"Best counter for X?" → Get types, then check what's super effective
"Does X have ability Y?" → Get info and check abilities list

Don't use for: Non-Pokémon game info, competitive tier lists, or fan content.
