pokemon-chooser

The Problem

When playing pokemon games, to fight effectively, I usually

1. look for the type(s) of the opponent pokemon
2. find a pokemon type chart to find types that are super effective to the opponent type
3. look through pokemons in my team for a super effective move

The goal of this package is to make this process easier.

Installation

Using npm:

$ npm i --save pokemon-chooser

Usage

fightAgainst(string)

Arguments

string (string): The name of a pokemon, or the name of a type

Returns

(object): Returns an object containing super effective (2x or 4x), normal, not very effective (1/2 or 1/4), and no effect types.
