PokéAPI (GraphQL)

API

Unofficial GraphQL wrapper for PokeAPI game data

Overview

An unofficial GraphQL wrapper for the popular PokeAPI, offering flexible access to comprehensive Pokemon game data. It supports queries for Pokemon species, moves, abilities, types, evolutions, items, and lore details. Responses are JSON-formatted, with GraphQL’s flexible field selection to avoid overfetching. Use cases include building Pokemon-themed mobile games, web apps for fans, trivia platforms, educational tools teaching GraphQL, or comic projects referencing canonical Pokemon data. It wraps the original PokeAPI, ensuring data consistency with the official REST service but via GraphQL queries.
