Description

Hello, so I'm working on a project using PokeAPI so to show forms in my project I wanted to use the routes :

So for example I tried with Pichu, but sadly the number of "pokemon-form" route of spiky eared pichu is 10065 but in my project I used the ids to get sprites and everything else I need but the ID 10065 is also used for Mega Sceptile.

I can stop trying to use the "pokemon-form" route but that would be sad to not get all the Pokemon forms I would like.

Research direction

The issue names the pokemon-form and pokemon-species API routes but no repository file, test, or requested change. Start by comparing the Pichu and Mega Sceptile responses and tracing how their form IDs are represented; done would require a documented resolution or a focused API correction, neither of which is specified here.
