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 :)

It still says that Piplup, Prinplup, and Empoleon's hidden abilities are still shown to be Defiant, even though it was changed to Competitive with the Teal Mask DLC. Similarly, Shiftry's second ability is still shown to be Early Bird, even though it was changed to Wind Rider in the DLC. I forgot if there were any other DLC ability changes, but if there were any others, those probably haven't been updated either.

Also, It doesn't show the egg moves for evolved Pokemon added to SV in the DLCs for some reason. For example, on Piplup's page, I can scroll down and see all of its egg moves just fine, but on Empoleon's page, it says that it has no egg moves, when instead, it should have the same egg moves as Piplup. It's like this for every evolved DLC Pokemon.

The description for the move Matcha Gotcha, introduced in the Teal Mask DLC, is still incomplete. However, we already know what it does.
It's a Grass type move,
80 power, 90 accuracy, 15 PP,
special, no contact, hits both Pokémon in a double battle,
heals the user for 50% of the damage dealt to the opponent(s),
has a 20% chance to Burn.
It also thaws out the user if it is frozen.
Sorry if I missed anything.

The moves Foresight and Odor Sleuth, and the ability Scrappy allow Normal and Fighting type moves to hit Ghost type Pokémon.

Mind's Eye, the ability of Bloodmoon Ursaluna, also allows Normal and Fighting type moves to hit Ghost type Pokémon.

See the Teal Mask Pokédex for the first part of the DLC, or the Kitakami Pokédex for the main Scarlet/Violet game.

That comes from the Indigo Disk Pokedex page, and the part that says Kitakami Pokedex links to the Scarlet and Violet Pokedex.

Oops, fixed it thanks.

In the All Pokemon master list the pictures for the Darmanitans are in the wrong order. Right now the pictures go Standard - Galarian Standard - Zen - Galarian Zen. When the stats and data show it should be Standard - Zen - Galarian Standard - Galarian Zen.

Thanks for reporting, I've fixed it now.

The attacks classed as punching moves are shown below with their normal and boosted power:

However, these are recoil moves, not Punching moves.

  • 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.

Ruination's page shows the move having a power of 1. Other halving moves, like Nature's Madness or Super Fang have a hyphen.

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 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
