Research direction

Start by reading the API documentation and examining how existing Pokémon-list endpoints are exposed. Define an endpoint that returns baby, legendary, or mythical Pokémon lists, then verify that the documented endpoint supports filtering or listing each requested category.

Description

i was looking at the documentation, and i saw that thare is no way to get a list of all the baby/legendary/mythical pokemon.
That would be useful in some cases, such as when somebody wants to filter only legendary Pokémon in their project.
