pokemon-showdown-cli

Multiplayer pokemon battle client with low-level C++ networking

Connects to Pokémon Showdown — the server is open source so I can determine API endpoints and protocol compatibility. This repo may break if upstream changes their protocol, and I am the only maintainer.

• Server reference: https://github.com/smogon/pokemon-showdown
• Protocol docs: https://github.com/smogon/pokemon-showdown/blob/master/PROTOCOL.md
