from localdex import LocalDex

# Initialize the dex
dex = LocalDex()

# Get Pokemon by name
pikachu = dex.get_pokemon("pikachu")
print(f"{pikachu.name} - {pikachu.types}")

# Get Pokemon by ID
charizard = dex.get_pokemon_by_id(6)
print(f"{charizard.name} - HP: {charizard.base_stats.hp}")

# Get Pokemon stats
bulbasaur = dex.get_pokemon("bulbasaur")
print(f"{bulbasaur.name} - Attack: {bulbasaur.base_stats.attack}, Speed: {bulbasaur.base_stats.speed}")

# Get moves
thunderbolt = dex.get_move("thunderbolt")
print(f"{thunderbolt.name} - Power: {thunderbolt.base_power}, Type: {thunderbolt.type}")

# Get abilities (note: use dashes in names like "lightning-rod")
lightning_rod = dex.get_ability("lightning-rod")
print(f"{lightning_rod.name} - {lightning_rod.description}")

# Search Pokemon by type (case-insensitive)
fire_types = dex.search_pokemon(type="fire")
print(f"Fire type Pokemon: {[p.name for p in fire_types[:5]]}")

# Search Pokemon by stat
fast_pokemon = dex.search_pokemon(min_speed=120)
print(f"Very fast Pokemon: {[p.name for p in fast_pokemon[:5]]}")

# Get all moves of a specific type (case-insensitive)
all_moves = dex.get_all_moves()
electric_moves = [m for m in all_moves if m.type.lower() == "electric"]
print(f"Electric moves count: {len(electric_moves)}")
print(f"First 5 Electric moves: {[m.name for m in electric_moves[:5]]}")
