Pokemon Go API – Base Pokemon Stats

This post talks about the newest Pokemon Go API, the base Pokemon stats API at pogoapi.net.

Base Pokemon Stats

Each Pokemon has three base stats, attack, defense and stamina which determine how innately strong it is in each of these areas. These effect how much HP and damage each move can do along with its level and the typing of the moves.

This will let you get the full base stats of each Pokemon.

Getting the Base Pokemon Stats

This API lists all Pokemon and their base Attack, Defense, and Stamina stats.

GET /api/v1/pokemon_stats.json

Returns a JSON array where each element is a dict containing the pokemon name, ID, base stamina, base attack, and base defense.
