## 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
zero fetch --capability suverse-pokemon-ability-lookup-30c12e97 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What does the Pokemon ability 'blaze' do — can you look it up and give me its ID, whether it's in the main series, and the full effect description?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured Pokemon ability metadata (ID, main-series flag, effect description) without managing a PokeAPI key yourself. Ideal for agents building Pokemon-related tools, trivia apps, or team builders that need reliable ability lookups with a simple per-call payment model.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown ability slug returns an error or empty result — ability names must be valid PokeAPI slugs (e.g. 'blaze', not 'Blaze' or 'BLAZE')
- Misspelled or nonexistent ability slugs will fail to resolve
- Payment of 0.055 USDC required per call via x402 — missing payment results in 402 response
- Upstream PokeAPI downtime may cause intermittent failures

## How this service works

Look up a Pokemon ability by name and get its id, main-series flag and effect description. Backed by PokeAPI. Pass an ability slug like blaze or overgrow.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the ability's numeric ID, a boolean main-series flag indicating whether it appears in the main Pokemon game series, and a full text description of the ability's effect.
