Common questions
How do I add a pet to Claude Code?
Install this mod with claude plugin marketplace add dgokcin/claude-pokemon-mod and claude plugin install pokemon@claude-pokemon, then pick a starter such as /pokemon charmander. It runs in the terminal or the Desktop app's Code tab.
Can it show me when Claude Code is waiting for my answer?
Yes. The mon stops, faces you and shows a red ! for questions, plan approvals and permission prompts until you answer. Under an organization policy that blocks classic.* events, the ! still shows for questions and plan approval but not for permission dialogs.
What happens if I ignore the pet?
With both meters empty for 3 hours of open session time it faints. /pokemon revive heals it in 5 minutes; left fainted for 24 more hours it runs away, and you can catch it again in the wild. With /pokemon nuzlocke on, a fainted mon is gone for good, and /pokemon needs turns the meters off.
Does it work in VS Code or on mobile?
No. The VS Code extension and the mobile app have no band to draw in, so the mon only shows in the terminal and the Desktop app's Code tab.
