Where to find Pokedex Entry Description for Pokemon (PokeAPI)

Are there ways I can get a Pokemon's Pokedex entry description? I've tried looking in the API documentation to come with no avail. The closest thing I could find was a Pokedex JSON but even that didn't contain the Pokemon's PD entry description alongside with Pokemon Species. Unless I didn't look hard enough do you know where I can fetch a Pokemon's dex entry description?

Thanks

Solution

  • I guess you missed the flavor-text-entries in apiv2. This is for pikachu

    GET https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon-species/25

    A part of the output

    {
"flavor_text": "It has small electric sacs on both its\ncheeks. If threatened, it looses electric\ncharges from the sacs.",
"language": {
"name": "en",
"url": "https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/language/9/"
},
"version": {
"name": "firered",
"url": "https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/version/10/"
}
}

    Similarly it's available for other game versions as well.
