move_effects.csv missing data

[zyugyzarc]

i am using this repo's csv files to use in my code (code is in python, but im using the raw csv files from data/csv/*.csv) move_effects.csv seems to not have enough information/data thats supposed to be there. upon previewing the file, it seems to only have one column - "id" and nothing else. i think this might be an effect of the csv to yaml conversion or something but i dont know.

for convinience, here is the url to the file: https://github.com/veekun/pokedex/blob/master/pokedex/data/csv/move_effects.csv

That's an intentional consequence of how localised text is implemented. The move_effect_prose.csv file contains the information about move effects, so you can use that and ignore move_effects.csv.

thanks, will use move_effects_prose.csv

suggession, move_effects.csv could contain psuedo code so its easier to implement into other stuff for example, the move "tail whip" can be described as target[defense -20%] if you feel that this is a lot of work, i am willing to help towards this

for example, the move "tail whip" can be described as target[defense -20%]

There is already some data like that in the move_meta tables; in particular, move_meta_stat_changes and move_target.

See the table documentation for more info.
