## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to resolve which version group a specific Pokémon game belongs to, useful for filtering Pokémon move availability, game compatibility checks, or grouping game versions by generation. Prefer this over scraping PokeAPI directly when you want a metered, pay-per-call proxy with no rate-limit management.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or misspelled version name returns an error or empty result
- Version name not found in PokeAPI returns a 404 or null response
- Missing required name query parameter causes a bad request error
- Network or upstream PokeAPI outage causes a timeout or 502 error
