Quickstart

The gem comes preloaded with a bunch of handy methods, detailed in full below. Here are a few demo scenarios, you should be able to get the hang of it fairly quickly.

Find out what a particular pokemon is good against in a gym fight:

Let's assume you're about to attack an enemy gym. Let's pretend there's a Blastoise defending it, and you're not sure what to bring.

Example:

# let's figure out what we're up against!
=> @defending_pokemon = Pokemongodb::Pokemon::Blastoise
=> @defending_pokemon.types
>> [Pokemongodb::Type::Water]

# ok so it's a water type. what does that do for us...
=> @defending_type = @defending_pokemon.types.first
=> @defending_type.weak_against
>> [Pokemongodb::Type::Grass] 

# sweet! It's weak against grass types! But we can do better
=> @defending_pokemon.weak_against
>> [Pokemongodb::Pokemon::Bellsprout, Pokemongodb::Pokemon::Bulbasaur, Pokemongodb::Pokemon::Exeggcute, Pokemongodb::Pokemon::Exeggutor, Pokemongodb::Pokemon::Gloom, Pokemongodb::Pokemon::Ivysaur, Pokemongodb::Pokemon::Oddish, Pokemongodb::Pokemon::Paras, Pokemongodb::Pokemon::Parasect, Pokemongodb::Pokemon::Tangela, Pokemongodb::Pokemon::Venusaur, Pokemongodb::Pokemon::Victreebel, Pokemongodb::Pokemon::Vileplume, Pokemongodb::Pokemon::Weepinbell]
