growth_rate

[pswaff1]

Hi, May be considered a minor issue but when pulling the growth rate from https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon-species/caterpie/ Caterpie's growth rate is listed as "medium" instead of "medium-fast" FYI

Steps to Reproduce:

1. GET https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon-species/caterpie/
2. Look at growth_rate

hmm, thanks. Would you be able to open a PR and fix the issue?

Looking at the growth_rate.csv, the math is correct, but the naming is off.

It should go as:

erratic (very fast to very slow) fast medium-fast medium-slow slow fluctuating (very slow to very fast)

You could probably have a function like this to check the pokemon instead of the CSV. However, it looks very clunky.

def poke_growth(pokemon, n: int):
    # n == level of pokemon
    # also need to round to nearest whole
    match pokemon['growth_rate']:
        case 1: # erratic
            if n < 50:
                growth = ((n**3 * ( 100 - n )) / 50)
            elif n >= 50 and n < 68:
                growth = ((n**3 * ( 150 - n )) / 100)
            elif n >= 68 and n < 98:
                growth = ((n**3 * (( 1991 - 10 * n )/3)) / 500)
            else:
                growth = ((n**3 * (160 - n)) / 100)
            return round(growth)
        case 2: # fast
            growth = (4 * (n**3)) / 5
            return round((4 * (n**3)) / 5)
        case 3: # medium-fast
            return n**3
        case 4: # medium-slow
            return round(6/5 * (n**3)) - (15 * (n**2)) + (100 * n)  - 140
        case 5: # slow
            return (5 * (n**3)) // 4
        case 6: # fluctuating
            if n < 15:
                growth = n**3 * (((( n+1 ) / 3) + 24) / 50)
            if n >= 15 and n < 36:
                growth = n**3 * (( n + 14 ) / 50)
            else:
                growth = n**3 * ((( n/2 ) + 24 ) / 50)
            return round(growth)
