About Prof Oak

Prof Oak — Pokémon Database is a fan-made Pokémon database powered by the PokéAPI. It’s built to be fast, readable, and mobile-friendly — a clean way to browse Pokémon, moves, types, evolutions, and encounter locations.

Project Goals

  • Readable Pokédex pages with clear stats & abilities
  • Type defenses with concise display (omit ×1 rows)
  • Better evolutions & encounter UX
  • Localization with tasteful defaults
  • Server-side caching for speed

Public API (JSON)

We expose a simple JSON API so you can fetch the same data shown in the Pokédex pages. No API key required for light, fair-use requests.

Endpoint:
https://profoak.net/api/pokemon/{idOrName}
Example: https://profoak.net/api/pokemon/25 (Pikachu)
JavaScript fetch
fetch('https://profoak.net/api/pokemon/25')
  .then(r => r.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data));
PHP (cURL)
$ch = curl_init('https://profoak.net/api/pokemon/25');
curl_setopt_array($ch,[CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER=>true]);
$json = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch);
$data = json_decode($json, true);
