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 :)

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.

The Move Tutor moves section of the "Moves learned" portion for both BDSP and SwSh learnsets both redirect to the Pokémon Move Tutors page, though they have no info on those respective games.

Hisuian Sneasler evolves in Legends: Arceus by using a Razor Claw during the day. But in Scarlet / Violet it evolves by holding the Razor Claw while leveling up during the day. Can you include both in the evolution chart?

The move "Chilly Reception" is apparently not
learnt by any Pokemon but it is actually the signature move of both Galarian Slowking and Kantonian Slowking in gen 9. It also does not state that if there is no party Pokemon to switch into, it will only cause snow. (Source: https://m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Chilly_Reception_(move) )

The Pokédex entry for Hattrem states:

"Evolution of Hattena; evolves into Hatterene."

Hatenna's name is misspelled. This error is also present in the hyperlink, which redirects to a non-existent page.

The Pokémon evolutions by trading page lists the four Kanto trading evolutions as Alakazam, Machoke, Graveler, and Gengar, as opposed to Alakazam, Machamp, Golem, and Gengar.

Battle Bond's "Effect" description doesn't state that Greninja no longer transforms, but instead boosts it's own stats. It only says it for the SV in-game description.

  • Gulp Missile's page doesn't state that flinging the Arrokuda will lower the target's defense.
  • Ice Hammer's effects description is a copy / paste of the in-game descriptions. It should be formatted like this:

Ice Hammer deals damage but lowers the user's Speed by one stage after attacking.
Stats can be lowered to a minimum of -6 stages each.

On the Sacred Fire page: https://pokemondb.net/move/sacred-fire (and assuming on other Move pages) it does not list moves learned by the "Remember Moves" feature in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet.

The weird thing is that Entei's page lists these moves, which means the information is already in the site somewhere.

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.

On Charizard's page, it says that you can only get Charizard, in Sword and Shield, from trading or migrating. However, you can get a gift charmander postgame. Therefore, it should be evolve Charmeleon.

Edit: Forgot about raids

[Editing this, because it still isn't working]

For some reason, the moveset searcher isn't working.

It brings up an incomplete list of Pokemon that can learn the move. This happens regardless of where you access the site, or who is using the search service.

Highly specifically, I can't get Rayquaza to show up.

I was originally looking for a 'Mon in FireRed who could learn Brick Break and also Aerial Ace (besides togepi or charizard ), and nothing came up that I liked, so i searched Fly and Brick Break instead, and it didn't work. So, I searched for guys compatible with Fly, and a ton of guys didn't come up, including Rayquaza.

Also searched for outrage, rest, dragon dance, and hyper beam to similar, incomplete results.

I've been testing this for six days now, and the results are always the same; incomplete.

Hmm, I think it's probably using SWSH data now and obviously many Pokemon aren't available in SWSH. Will think on it and try and find a good solution.
Awesome.
Hope it gets resolved soon

Sweet!
It works
