EXAMPLE 1

Get-PokeEvolutionChain

Gets the first 20 evolution chains sorted by id

EXAMPLE 2

Get-PokeEvolutionChain -id 1

Gets the evolution chain with the defined id

EXAMPLE 3

Get-PokeEvolutionChain -name ditto

Gets the evolution chain with the defined name

EXAMPLE 4

Get-PokeEvolutionChain -offset 151 -limit 100

Gets the first 100 resources starting at resources with an id over 151
