VS Code Pokémon comes with default keyboard shortcuts to make managing your Pokémon quick and easy:

You can customize these shortcuts to match your preferences:

1. Open the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows/Linux or Cmd(⌘)+Shift+P on MacOS)
2. Run the Pokemon Coding: Configure keybindings command
3. Select the command you want to customize

5. Click the pencil icon next to the command and press your desired key combination

Changing settings

Open the setting panel with Ctrl+, on Windows/Linux or Cmd(⌘)+, on MacOS. In the search bar, enter “vscode-pokemon" to see all available options.

Set the size and position of the extension.

Default Pokémon

You can configure specific Pokémon to automatically appear when you first start using the extension. This is useful for setting up your preferred team without having to manually spawn them when you open new windows.

To configure default Pokémon, add the following to your settings.json:

{
  "vscode-pokemon.defaultPokemon": [
    {
      "type": "pikachu",
      "name": "Sparky"
    },
    {
      "type": "charizard",
      "name": "Flame"
    },
    {
      "type": "articuno"
    },
    {
      "type": "mewtwo",
      "shiny": true
    },
    {
      "type": "random"
    },
    {
      "type": "random",
      "pool": ["pikachu", "eevee", "gengar", "snorlax"]
    }
  ]
}

• type (required): The Pokémon species (e.g., "pikachu", "charizard", "mewtwo"), or "random" to spawn a random species
• name (optional): A custom name for your Pokémon. If not provided, a random name will be assigned
• shiny (optional): Determines if the Pokémon is shiny, if not set will use vscode-pokemon.shinyOdds setting.
• pool (optional): Only used when type is "random". Restricts the random selection to this list of species. Invalid entries are dropped with a warning; if none are valid, selection falls back to any Pokémon.

Note: The extension automatically saves your current Pokémon between sessions. The defaultPokemon setting is only used when:

• You start the extension for the first time
• You open a new windows/repository
• You have removed all Pokémon (no saved session exists)

A "random" entry is resolved to a specific species the first time it's applied, then saved like any other Pokémon — reopening the window won't re-roll it, only removing all Pokémon will.

To reset to your default Pokémon, use the "Remove all pokemon" command and restart VS Code.

Pokémon Language

You can customize the language used for Pokémon names. The extension supports official Pokémon languages: English (US), French, German, and Japanese.

Using the Command

1. Open the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows/Linux or Cmd(⌘)+Shift+P on MacOS)
2. Run the Pokemon Coding: Change Pokemon language command
3. Select your preferred language from the list

Using Settings

You can also configure the language directly in your settings.json:

{
  "vscode-pokemon.pokemonLanguage": "fr-FR"
}
```…
