Versions:
poke-cli is a lightweight, open-source utility developed by digitalghost-dev that places the entire Pokédex at the fingertips of command-line enthusiasts. Written in Go and currently at version 1.9.0, the program merges a classic CLI frontend with an optional keyboard-driven TUI, letting users search, filter, and display comprehensive Pokémon statistics—such as base stats, types, abilities, and move pools—without leaving the terminal. Since its debut, the project has iterated through five public releases, each refining data accuracy, rendering speed, and cross-platform compatibility so that the tool runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux with a single static binary. Typical use cases include competitive players who need rapid lookup of type matchups or EV yields while building teams, developers who want a sandbox for testing RESTful API consumption in Go, and hobbyists who prefer keyboard-centric workflows over web-based encyclopedias. The software is catalogued under the “Utilities & Tools” section of software repositories, aligning with other reference-oriented CLI programs. Version 1.9.0 introduces cached sprites, color-coded type charts, and a streamlined flag system that accepts both national dex numbers and Pokémon names, making batch queries and shell scripting straightforward. No external dependencies or configuration files are required; the executable connects to the public PokéAPI endpoint, parses JSON responses, and formats output in readable tables or JSON for downstream consumption. poke-cli is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
