Research direction

Start by checking how egg groups and item categories are represented in the repository, then review the linked Bulbapedia pages and confirm whether their wording can be reused. Done means both kinds of entries have useful descriptions and the approach for maintaining descriptions when new entries are added is documented.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Bulbapedia provides some great descriptions for "Item types" - https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Item

Bulbapedia also has great descriptions for "Egg Groups" - https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Egg_Group

I think it would be simple given there are very few of these and the text is already there, and I think it would provide value to have a simple description if rendering an egg group or item category page or pop-up.

I could try to add this text myself, although there are two considerations: 1) are we able to use this text, or do I need to come up with my own, and 2) we would have to maintain this going forward (eg. if a new egg group or item category is added). Let me know what you think.
