Pokemon Showdown Validator

Validates a pokemon team with pokemon showdown via websockets.

It's not pretty. It will most likely never be updated. This was a one shot I can't be bothered to clean up. Use on your own volition.

Most of the code has been sourced from @Zarel's PokemonShowdown repositories:

• Pokemon-Showdown
• Pokemon-Showdown-Client
• Pokemon-Showdown-Dex

Installation

$ npm install BeMacized/PokemonShowdownValidator

Usage

Syntax

validate(text [, format]);

Return value: Promise<string>

Parameters

text: string: A team (In the pokemon showdown syntax, see example below)

format: string (optional): The format to validate for (default: "gen7ou")

Example code

// Import validation function
const validate = require('pokemon-showdown-validator').default;

// Define team
const team = `
Skuntank (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Stench
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Poison Jab
- Foul Play
- Defog
- Play Rough

Skuntank (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Stench
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature

- Foul Play
- Defog

`;

// Call validation on team
validate(team).then(response => {
  console.log(response);
  /*
  Your team was rejected for the following reasons:

  - You are limited to one of each Pokémon by Species Clause.

  - (You have more than one Skuntank)
  */
