Summary

The author of this text, a self-proclaimed Pokémon enthusiast, has created a graph database in Neo4j to visualize and analyze their Pokémon collection. The graph consists of nodes representing different types of Pokémon data such as Generation, Ability, Type, Move, and Pokémon themselves, connected by relationships that describe the characteristics of each Pokémon. The author uses this graph to explore various aspects of their team, including weaknesses against certain Moves, resistance to specific Types, and the strongest Pokémon in Sword and Shield with Dark-type moves. They also discuss potential applications for their Pokégraph, such as designing teams for battles or analyzing Type weaknesses and strengths, but acknowledge that there is still much data to be added, particularly from online sources like Kaggle and GitHub.
