A friend asked what it would take to make a bot that could pull up random Pokemon movesets that were "legal", meaning that instead of pulling from every single move that existed, you could only pull moves from the list that the Pokemon in question could be able to learn. Pulling again from veekun/pokedex, this is an attempt at doing just that.
Before running this, you'll need to do the following:
- Install Rust
- Set up an application with Twitter
- Put the consumer key/secret into the files
src/consumer_keyandsrc/consumer_secret
Once all that's set up, simply cargo run and it will load everything up. If you just want to see a
moveset without going through Twitter, you can pass -s/--skip-twitter to it, via cargo run -- -s.
On the first run, it will ask you to authenticate with the desired account. After that, every time you run it, it will load up all the pokemon information and start up a loop where it will post one moveset to Twitter every four hours.
