Research direction

The issue does not name files or tests. Start by locating the Pokédex API response and its schema, then check how Pokémon forms are represented elsewhere in the API. Done means the response identifies the applicable form, including Hisui Qwilfish, without breaking existing entry number and species data.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently, the API only returns entry number and pokemon species:

So for something like Hisui dex, which should have hisui quilfish rendered, I have no way of knowing that from the API response (and therefore render default (johto) qwilfish which is incorrect for this pokedex.

Let me know if there is a better/recommended way of doing this instead. Thanks!
