You can also specify the options in a json file, like so:

{
    "number": 2,
    "type": "normal",
    "evolved": true,
    "unique": true,
    "superEffective": "grass"
}

And load these options like so:

$ poke-rand -f /path/to/json/file/options.json
Chose 2 Pokemon
Pidgeot
Dodrio

If you specify options that no pokemon can satisfy, you'll get an error.

# Pick 2 unique fully evolved ghost types (invalid!)
$ poke-rand -n 2 -u -e -t ghost
Error: Not enough pokemon satisfy those options

# Try removing the unique option, or specify a lower number of pokemon to return
# Pick 2 fully evolved ghost types
$ poke-rand -n 2 -e -t ghost
Chose 2 Pokemon
