Description

The list of pokemon served at https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/?limit=2000 does not include any of the Unown forms for some reason.

As a result of this the encounter table can't reference any of the Unown forms, I have not found any way to fix this or what is causing it.

Research direction

Start by querying the Pokémon list endpoint at https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/?limit=2000 and tracing where its entries are sourced. Confirm how Unown forms are represented in the API, then verify that all forms appear in the list and can be referenced by the encounter table.
