The GET API call for "https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/" for a lot of Pokemon from Generation 9 are pulling incorrect id's.
See attached files. pokemon_correct.csv displays the correct id and name information, and pokemon_incorrect.csv was created from the following code:

import requests
import csv

# Set up the base URL for the PokeAPI
base_url = "https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/"

# Define the range of Pokemon IDs to list
start_id = 906
end_id = 1010

# Create a list to hold the Pokemon data
pokemon_data_list = []

# Loop through the range of IDs and make a request to the PokeAPI for each Pokemon
for pokemon_id in range(start_id, end_id+1):
    # Construct the URL for the Pokemon with this ID
    url = base_url + f"pokemon/{pokemon_id}/"
    
    # Make a request to the PokeAPI for information about the Pokemon
    response = requests.get(url)
    
    # If the response was successful (i.e. the status code is 200), add the Pokemon's data to the list
    if response.status_code == 200:
        pokemon_data = response.json()
        pokemon_name = pokemon_data["name"]
        pokemon_data_list.append([pokemon_id, pokemon_name])
        
# Write the Pokemon data to a .csv file
with open("pokemon.csv", "w", newline="") as f:
    writer = csv.writer(f)
    writer.writerow(["ID", "Name"])
    writer.writerows(pokemon_data_list)
    
print("Saved Pokemon data to pokemon_incorrect.csv")
