[Help Required] How to get Move Names? about pokemongo-api

[rubenvereecken]

That's because the moves are actually numbers. Our protobuf library doesn't map the numbers back to strings (as a comparison, I use a Node library that does). @dmadisetti do you know of any python objects we could try for string enums? They're tremendously useful.

At the Enhanced project we have a Node module that combines all kinds of Pokemon data that we can then use. It's JS, but you could maybe use the JSON files. Check out this one for example for fast moves: https://github.com/PokemonGo-Enhanced/node-pokemongo-data/blob/master/special-moves.json

Careful though, we have two separate move files.

This API library does have the ability to convert the numbers to names, though. If you just run session.checkInventory() and output it you get a bunch of information. And for each Pokemon in your party you get the following:

`id: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

pokemon_id: MAGIKARP
cp: 145
stamina: 32
stamina_max: 32
move_1: SPLASH_FAST
move_2: STRUGGLE
height_m: 0.792643606663
weight_kg: 8.24328136444
individual_attack: 14
individual_defense: 13
individual_stamina: 15
cp_multiplier: 0.597400009632
pokeball: ITEM_POKE_BALL
captured_cell_id: xxxxxxxxxxxxx
creation_time_ms: 1469450301788
nickname: "93-14/13/15"
from_fort: 1`

So it seems there is a way to do it. I just can't find how they are doing it.

Nice Magikarp btw, pretty good stats.

Haha thanks. There is actually a better one that is 15/14/14!

My bot / test account is infinitely better than my real one :(

You can get the names directly from protobufs:

>>> import POGOProtos.Enums.PokemonMove_pb2 as PokemonMove_pb2
>>> PokemonMove_pb2.PokemonMove.Name(231)
'SPLASH_FAST'

Thank you! Works perfectly :D
