Decided to make a new thread myself for this so I can get the responses via email. Here you can report any minor errors with the main site instead of starting a lot of new questions. Things you can report here include:

  • Spelling/grammar errors.
  • Incorrect data (e.g. Pokemon with the wrong abilities listed, moves with the wrong power/type and so on).
  • Missing pictures (sprites, icons and artwork).

As I fix the errors, the answers will be hidden. Try and keep comments to a minimum to avoid clogging up the page, stick to important things like additions/corrections to the corrections.

Remember, small corrections only! If you're reporting something more substantial than a missing picture or incorrect data, please make a new thread!

Please, post corrections as ANSWERS, not comments. Thanks :)

  • The effect description for the Cherish Ball, 'rare' is misspelled. (Maybe intentional?)
  • Sinistcha's page doesn't use the Ken Sugimori artwork.
  • Ogerpon's page; their other forms doesn't have the official art.

If you click on G-Max Vine Lash in Venusaur’s page, it shows an error about the link and then the link it gives you for G-Max Vine Lash actually works

There are some Pokémon missing in the part of each Evolution Stone page that mentions the Pokémon that evolve with them.

For the Thunder Stone page, the missing Pokémon are Bellibolt, Vikavolt (since gen 8), Magnezone (since gen 8) and Probopass (since gen 9 DLC).

For the Fire Stone page, Scovillain is missing.

I don't know if this is intentional or not but no Gen II or III Pokemon has a listed sprite for FRLG. This is probably intentional and/or mentioned already but I figured I would bring it up.

Cosmoem's page doesn't mention how it evolves in any game past USUM.

The Gravity page doesn't mention how it increases the accuracy of moves by around 1.67x (might be misremembering the number). It only menting the "grounding flying stuff" part.

The ability Quick Draw doesn't have a description for its effect in its page (https://pokemondb.net/ability/quick-draw)

Seems like a fairly simple fix though, so you can just say something along the lines of "Gives a 30% chance for each move to receive +1 priority."

Just thought it was probably a silly mistake, probably worth pointing it out.

Also, forgot to put this as an answer, oops.

Quick draw description

Another user has pointed dit out before but didn't answer on this thread so I will instead. If you go to the quick draw page, there is nothing under the 'effect' subtitle, unlike other ability or any sort of description

Qwilfish is available in Pokémon scarlet and violet through the DLC, yet the evolution method described is something along the lines of 'use a strong style move 20 times', which is not possible in scarlet and violet as this is of course the evolution method in PLA. In SV, qwilfish will evolve once it learns barb barrage.

There seems to be some minor mistake when it comes to the location of Rhyhorn in pokemon Heartgold/Soulsilver. It can be found at the Safari Zone as well, but only Victory Road and Diglett's Cave are mentioned.

Several reliable sources (such as serebii.net and bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net) all confirm they can be found at the Safari Zone as well. Specifically in the Savannah area during morning and day.

All the Safari Zone locations in HGSS are missing.

There seems to be a mistake with the location of Togepi (and evolved versions). It says you can only get it by trading or migrating from another game. But its a whole big thing how you get to hatch Togepi from an egg. I guess you technically can't find Togepi as you get it in the egg form. But the way it currently is is pretty misleading.

Based on cross-checking with Bulbapedia, the following locations are missing for Togepi (and cause incorrect flow-on 'Trade/migrate...' entries for Togetic and Togekiss):

  • Violet City in HG/SS (Egg from Professor Elm)
  • Nimbasa City in B2/W2 (trade with Yancy/Curtis), as well as Dream Radar
  • Friend Safari in X/Y (Fairy-type)
  • Lavaridge Town in OR/AS (Egg from NPC)

I added the missing entries to this post since Togepi encounters are not missing for every game, e.g. FR/LG and Pt are correct.

The location of Corsola seems to be missing for Soul Silver / Heart Gold. It says it can only be traded/migrated from another game, but they can be found by fishing with a good or super rod in: Routes 19, 34, 40, Cherrygrove City, Olivine City, Cianwood City, Union Cave (according to Serebii.net and bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net).

I do not know if this has already been brought to your attention in another way but there is a slight error on your location guide for Route 8 in the Galar section.

A Crustle (Iv 40 for me) can be encountered in the over world right before Steam drift way, however it is not listed.

This might be more of a suggestion than an error, but I think the HM slave searchers (like this one for XY) should list Smeargle as learning every HM.
