v2.0 — Evolution chains, fair-use guide, and a faster search index
The docs caught up with a year of PokéAPI additions.
- New: a full Evolution reference page — trigger types, conditional items, friendship thresholds, and the recursive chain-walking pattern covered in the evolution chains blog post.
- New: Fair Use — rate-limit guidance and caching recommendations for anyone hitting the API at scale.
- Improved: Cmd/Ctrl+K search now indexes every resource page, not just guides —
jumping straight to
/pokemon/pikachu's field reference is now one keystroke away. - Fixed: the
evolution_detailsarray in chain responses was documented as required; it's actually omitted (not empty) for the root species.
