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 :)

For Lance’s Team in the HG/SS Gym leader and E4 Page, the level for Lance’s Gyarados is wrong. Instead of level 44, it should be level 46.

Cotton Down's effect is listed incorrectly. It lowers the speed of all other Pokemon, not just the attacker. This is what Bulbapedia says:

When a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by a damaging move, the Speed of all other Pokémon is decreased by one stage.

It's says you have to trade/migrate from another game to obtain regigigas in sword and shield but you only need to trade regidrago/Regilieki to get it.

The effect description of the ability Steam Engine seems to be wrong when compared to the information on other pokemon websites and the actual in-game effect.

Pokemon Database:

Steam Engine raises the user's Speed by three stages when it is hit by a Fire- or Water-type attack.

However, it should be:

Steam Engine raises the user's Speed by six stages when it is hit by a Fire- or Water-type attack.

Suicune is slightly different in that it doesn't exactly roam, but when you walk nearby, it flees to another location. After a few times you will be able to battle it. See the PokéBase question, Where is Suicune? for the locations.

The 'Where is Suicune' links to this page, which is hidden.

Just in case you're wondering, the hidden question was a duplicate of this one: https://pokemondb.net/pokebase/154517/what-are-all-the-locations-of-suicune-in-soul-silver
I fixed it by swapping the questions around :D
Not sure why the older one was marked as a duplicate of the newer one.
I think it's because Amethyst prefers hiding questions with less views.

In all generations after Gen 5, Dialga does not have Shock Wave under Transfer-Only moves, whilst still not learning it any way in those generations.

On Nanu's section, the sprite is for Persian instead of Alolan Persian. Same thing with Kiawe, which has Marowak instead of it's Alolan form.

These errors are also present for their USUM sections.

Edit: Hau's page shows Raichu. It's supposed to be Alolan Raichu.

On the Thunder Stone page, it doesn't mention that Tadbulb evolves into Bellibolt with the Thunder Stone, nor does it have the description for the Thunder Stone in Scarlet and Violet, which is: A peculiar stone that can make certain species of Pokemon evolve. It has a distinct thunderbolt pattern.
On the Water Stone's page, it doesn't have the description of the Water Stone for Scarlet and Violet which is: A peculiar stone that can make certain species of Pokemon evolve. It is the clear blue of a deep pool.

Not all SV data has been entered in yet, the game is massive, and item descriptions are probably some of the last things on Pokemasters priority list

For the flying egg group page, it says

All Pokémon in this group are part Flying type, except for Decidueye

Since generation 8, that has changed. Now, Galarian Sirfetch'd, Hisuian Decidueye, the Quaxly line, Flittle, and Espathra are all in the flying egg group yet not flying types.
I think this should be updated or just deleted.

Also, Maushold's "Moves Learned" section only has egg moves. It says it does not learn any level-up or TM moves, but other sites, like Bulbapedia say otherwise. It needs to be updated with all of Maushold's actual moves.

Maushold's page should also probably specify that it cannot evolve with EXP candies, it must level up in battle.

The breeding page should be updated. It currently says:

Pokémon are compatible for breeding if:
They are not legendary Pokémon, baby Pokémon, Unown, Nidorina or Nidoqueen

The Galar fossils and Paradox Pokemon are undiscovered, so they cannot be bred. I think it should just be updated to:

Pokémon are compatible for breeding if:
They are not in the undiscovered group (at the right).

Aura Sphere's page says it has 101 accuracy with a larger font instead of infinite accuracy.

Mirror Herb’s page doesn’t mention that if a Pokemon has three moves and is holding it and another Pokemon in your party has an egg move it learns, you can start a picnic so the Mirror Herb Pokemon will learn that move.

Riolu is shown as available during both day and night in Pokemon Ultra Sun/Moon in Poni Grove. From my experience, it does not appear during the night, or at least has a much lower rate.

Bulbapedia agrees. In SM, it appears in both day and night, but in USUM it appears only in day

Hey, Pokémon Electrode on level 34 is not shown on your site.
It is from Pokémon Fire Red in Power Plant, Kanto, two different rooms.
You can catch it, tho he uses Self Destruct every first move so you need some luck for max HP catching, I tryed Ultra ball (about 15th try it worked).

It lays on the ground as an item so you have to "interact" with it (not randomly find it)

Hey,

sadly you cannot get Marill in Fire Red what I've searched (only Trade), tho on site there is said you can.
It will be probably just swapping two pokemon, since Wooper is missing there.
My 30 minutes or trying are gone :D I've found Wooper on level 11-13 and they were more like Uncommon than Rare (I would guess that my chance was approx 1/15)

location: Icefall Cave, Kanto - 1F Room 1 - Surfing

Bulbapedia says Marill is exclusive to LG and Wooper is exclusive to FR. PokemonDB is wrong in any case. https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Icefall_Cave

Hey,

Another small issue on site is that you cannot find Piloswine in PKMN Fire Red - Icefall Cave - B1F.
Only Swinub appears there on same levels mentioned on site.
Meaning that all kinds are the same as for 1F Room 2.
Other sources confirms this, you have to evolve Swinub in order to have Piloswine.

The ability Leaf Guard erroneously states that it does not protect the user from self inflicted applicable statuses.

It prevents the Pokémon from resting outright.

It also stops Toxic Orb and Flame Orb.

Tested it, but I encourage further testing if needed.

Just now verified it via Bulbapedia, as well.

Hope this helps.

Tauros' dex page only shows Kantonian Tauros' learnset. No Paldean forms. That's all.
