Description

Currently, an ability will return which pokemon have it.

I can also check which pokemon are in what generation.

However, I cannot check what pokemon have an ability in a generation.

For example, does Gengar have Levitate in BDSP? The answer is no, even though Gengar is in the game, and Gengar had levitate in gen 4, because BDSP is gen 8.

I was hoping to make a pokedex that would allow the user to select game version and see information pertaining to that version.

Let me know if this is possible currently. Thanks in advance!

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing ability and generation query behavior described in the issue. Define how version-specific ability results should be represented, using Gengar, Levitate, and BDSP as the acceptance example; done means the API can distinguish an ability available in a species' generation from one available in the selected game version.
