## 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 x402-hub-pokemon-auth-api-fb640563 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the stats and abilities for Pikachu using the x402-gated Pokémon auth endpoint — I need its base HP, attack, and type information.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authenticated, pay-per-query access to Pokémon data and are already operating within the x402 micropayment ecosystem on Base. It is appropriate for agents that handle USDC payments automatically and need Pokémon game data without managing a separate API key subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not included or insufficient — x402 payment required error returned
- Invalid or misspelled Pokémon query string — upstream data source returns not found
- Network timeout from upstream Pokémon data provider
- Invalid query parameter format — missing required 'query' field
- x402 payment on Base network fails due to insufficient USDC balance
