Gathering unique Pokémon

A sample of 500 Pokémon has been created with replacement (meaning a Pokémon could be selected more than once and duplicates exist within the sample).

Three lists have been loaded into your session:

The names list contains the names of each Pokémon in the sample.
The primary_types list containing the corresponding primary type of each Pokémon in the sample.
The generations list contains the corresponding generation of each Pokémon in the sample.

The below function was written to gather unique values from each list:

def find_unique_items(data):
    uniques = []

    for item in data:
        if item not in uniques:
            uniques.append(item)

    return uniques

Let's compare the above function to using the set data type for collecting unique items.

Use the provided function to collect the unique Pokémon in the names list. Save this as uniq_names_func.
