]> Pokemon Moveset Ontology This ontology aims to simplify the acquisition of Pokémon builds. When considering a Pokémon team, players analyze the movesets that each Pokémon on the team will use, and how to obtain that moveset. However, the process of figuring out how to create a specific Pokémon moveset can get quite complicated, especially if the player needs to chain together several Pokémon to breed in order to give a Pokémon an Egg Move (move only obtainable through breeding). In our ontology, we accurately represent each class related to Pokemon, movesets and breeding situations. We also establish the relation among the classes to enable the reasoning on breeding sisutations.
