Exception raised: 'MapPokemon' object has no attribute 'pokemon_data' about pokemongo-api

use this for getting pokemon id

pokemonId = getattr(pokemon, "pokemon_id", None)
            if not pokemonId:
                pokemonId = pokemon.pokemon_data.pokemon_id

There is not always a pokemon_data inside pokemon. Depends on the type of pokemon you find

? Do you have any examples @dnsBlah

lately I found that catchable and nearby pokemon are 1 and the same, I do a double check after I filter the pokemon out, I loop to only return unique encounter ids
sometimes its double
simetimes its not
one of the 2 types has pokemon_id directly and missing pokemon_data

thats why I get the id as mentioned in my previous comment
