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 :)

Tandemaus' evolution method is wrong. The website states that it evolves into Maushold at Level 25, but it actually needs to be levelled up to Level 25 in battle. EXP Candies and Rare Candies won't be enough.

Pokemaster edit: the DexNav Pokemon for Hoenn do not specify when they're post-National Dex.


Hello, im currently playing Pokemon omega ruby, and im using your web site to find information on Pokemon in every area (like I've always done), and im sorry to say but i think you made en error in the site, because most of the Pokemon, you right you can find, you can't actually find.

It's so frustrating, pleas let me know if it's just me that's blind or if it's you that made a mistake.

this is not a complaint, just a heads op.

Could you provide some examples?
Note that there's a probability of each pokemon appearing - some appear less than others.
of course, on route 101 it says that, with the DexNav, you can catch, Lillipup, Zorua, and Sewaddle, well I've looked on that route extensively, and i'm telling you the only pokemon you can catch with the DexNav on that route is Zigzagoon, Wurmple and Poochyena. Your site even says that Zoura and Sewaddle is common pokemon in that area and i'm pretty sure none of them is in the game.

BTW. thank you for answering :)
That's because those Pokemon are only available in after you get the National Dex, the site just doesn't specify that. After you get it, a ton of new Pokemon start appearing on the DexNav. So it's actually correct, just a bit vague. Other sites like Bulbapedia say the exact same thing (see http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Hoenn_Route_101#Generation_VI ).
Thanks for bringing this up though!
Oh! great! got it as the last thing last night so i havent tried it yet, cant wait.!

thanks a lot and no problem :)
Thanks. I've edited the answer with clarification, in other words what I actually need to fix when I get around to fixing it :)

Please add that Zigzagoon gets the move ExtremeSpeed through Pokemon Box: Ruby & Sapphire Event in Gen III. It is given to the player as an egg, which later hatches to a Zigzagoon once the player has 100 Pokémon in storage. This is a list of multiple Pokémon

Swablu - Start of game, knows False Swipe

Zigzagoon - 100 Pokémon, knows ExtremeSpeed

Skitty - 500 Pokémon, knows Pay Day

Picchu - 1499 Pokemon, knows Surf

In the Galar Mine, it says that Woobat can only be found at level 15 highest. However, I have just found a Woobat at level 16. Am I missing something or is this an actual mistake?

It's probably a mistake. That's what this thread is for.
There are some Pokemon that are separate from the regular encounter tables (which I checked and definitely say level 11-15). Will compile a list and add them when I can.

A few areas from Heartgold/Soulsilver are missing their fishing encounter pool (so far noticed Route 40, Olivine City, Cianwood city). Visiting the pages of the individual Pokemon shows that they don't appear there either (Corsola for example has no listed encounters for hgss, and Staryu only has one, lacking all the ones where it's encountered by fishing).
My apologies if there's an already known reason for this.

A lot of encounter pools are missing. Pokemaster is just too busy to fix them. https://pokemondb.net/pokebase/meta/14511

There is information missing for the move Bug Buzz. Bug Buzz can bypass Substitute but cannot break it. In addition, it does not affect Pokemon with the ability Soundproof.

The system shows tags, but sometimes some of them don’t exist! Here is an example with the “metapod” tag:

According to this article, personality is now used to determine shininess and nothing else. Also the list of IV judges still needs updating.

I think this is where I post this? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

https://pokemondb.net/move/fell-stinger this page says only the Sobble line can learn Fell Stinger as an egg move, but in OrAs I just DexNav'd an eggmoved Surskit with Fell Stinger. Surskit isn't anywhere on that page ;0

I think it might have something to do with a filter that only shows what Pokémon can learn a move only if they're in the Sword/Shield dex. This is probably the same for the other moves, since Masquerain can learn Giga Drain, but it's not in the Giga Drain page:

The Draco Meteor page shows that all formes of Kyurem can learn it by move tutor. However, Kyurem's personal page only lists Scale Shot and Dual Wingbeat under tutor moves, and Draco Meteor can't be found anywhere.

In the Pikachu sprite list it says the Partner Cap is the Johto Cap.

by
*faceslap* I meant on pokemon db
I know that. I didn't realize that you were talking about the Pokemon Home sprites. In the Gen 6 sprites, it's correctly labeled as the partner cap. I thought you were saying it should be labeled as the Johto cap. Sorry about that.

On the Route 17 encounters for the Alola games, for the first block of Sos encounters, the percentage of Castform appearing in the rain just says 1, with no percentage. The next block of Sos encounters says 1%.
