Inspiration

I wanted to work more with React and learn the basics behind APIs. One of the fun beginner APIs I found was the PokeAPI, and one of the things I often forget is the types that certain Pokemon types are weak against, so I decided to make this.

What it does

This takes in an input Pokemon, either its name or its number, and outputs an image of the Pokemon, its type, and what types it is weak against.

How I built it

This was built in React, using the PokeAPI and Axios.

Challenges I ran into

The main issue I had was learning the syntax for working with APIs, since I am not familiar with working with them. Also, I haven't actually finished implementing the part where I show the Pokemon's weaknesses.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Getting the basics set up for displaying the inputted Pokemon and its type.

What I learned

I learned how APIs and Postman works.

What's next for Pokemon Weaknesses

Adding the actual weaknesses, and making it look nicer!
