Hi! For Leafeon I see that being close to a Moss Rock is needed for eevee to evolve. Is there a way to map this requirement? And for Gleceon one must be at the lowest level of the cave: https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/location/445 Which in the API is a location-area. Can we also map that? |

The But this might not be necessary, because as you stated, Leafeon requires sth like "close-to-moss-rock", and also Glaceon requires "close-to-ice-rock" (The "lowest level of the cave" just happens to be the area, where ice-rocks can be found). Leafeon (470)
Glaceon (471)
But how should these methods be added? It wouldnt make sence to add them as a "location_id", neither as a "location-area" and at the moment, every (level-up) evolution for these two has a "location_id" mapped, so ALL of them would need to be adjusted. How would you suggest, we should add these (level-up) methods/areas? |

There are only 19 location-based evolutions currently in the database. I'm familiar with updating the evolution details, so if we think it would be more descriptive I can go in after this PR and update these locations to point to the relevant location areas. That still wouldn't be able to specify things like "close-to-moss-rock", as there are no evolution conditions like there are for encounters. But I think it would be sufficient. What do we think? |

Sounds good, I unfortunately dont have the time, to go through all, If you could do that, that would be great |

We can merge this PR as is since the current schema doesn't provide all the fields necessary to be that specific. @FreakMediaLP is right, that would require probably going through many pokemon/evolutions to update all the DB. |

Ok sounds good. Once this PR is up-to-date with the base branch we can merge and I'll get started on the additional PR when I get the chance |
