Description

I have noticed that these fields in the JSON response appear to be undocumented at https://pokeapi.co/docs/v2.

  • PokemonSprites.other
  • Type.sprites
  • Pokemon.past_abilities

You can see them in

https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/type/1/
and
https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/25/

Research direction

Start with the API documentation at https://pokeapi.co/docs/v2 and compare it with the example responses from the Pokémon and Type endpoints linked in the issue. Document PokemonSprites.other, Type.sprites, and Pokemon.past_abilities, and confirm that each field is represented in the published documentation.
