Report minor site errors here

Question

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 :)

Answer 2

The HeartGold/SoulSilver location information for Togepi and Togetic is incorrect. Togepi is obtainable as an egg in Violet City and Togetic is obtainable by evolving Togepi.

Answer 3

Tell me if this shouldn’t be on this thread because it’s too large or any other reason, but I’ve been waiting for the Z-A Mega Evolutions to be in the Pokédex With Stats basically since they came out, and it came to my mind that PM might not have simply not gotten there yet, but that he just didn’t even realize that the data was missing. Relatedly, the new megas are still listed as “spoilers” on their dex pages, which seems unnecessary.

if this is true, this post is a notice to Pokemaster. Please read this.

Answer 4

has been bugging me for a while..

The weird section below the search bar either gets filled with things like images or text (mainly text) depending on the last question you accessed. This is just another example of the site being broken on iPhone (safari)

Comments

I posted and emailed pm about this too a while ago. I’m glad it isn’t just me

---

Never happened to me. What device, OS, browser is this from? PM needs to know so he can replicate it and fix it.

---

It happened to me on iPhone, safari. It happens when you click a link and then press the back arrow.

---

p sure i've seen it on android and chrome as well

Answer 5

This site says that walking has a 9% probability of meeting Minun in both Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. However, in my Alpha Sapphire, you have 9% probability of meeting Plusle and 0% probability of meeting Minun.

Comments

It's also worth noting that, if Bulbapedia and Serebii are to be believed, the chance of many of the other encounters are also incorrect.

https://www.serebii.net/pokearth/hoenn/route110.shtml

---

I didn't mean that it's exactly 9% (I thought so, because pokemondb says it), but that there should be Plusles instead of Minuns in Alpha Sapphire. Nevertheless, someone should check these percentages and correct them.

Answer 6

In every route that contains water in Unova says that you can catch Red-striped Basculin in both Black and White but in Black you find Red striped and in White you find Blue striped.

Comments

This should go on the thread for the location guide... though I recently added an answer that points out a very similar error, so I'm not sure it's necessary you add this answer there instead. https://pokemondb.net/pokebase/meta/14511/corrections-improvements-to-our-location-guide?show=77265#a77265

---

They're not game exclusive they can just be found in different patches of water

Answer 7

On the site the point requirements for the rules to go away (for new users and the like) change. Sometimes they say you need 40 points other times you need 80 points. It's nothing major (which is why it's here) but it could be confusing to new members for what you actually need.

Comments

Who/what is "they"?
Are you referring to the message at the top of the page prompting you to read the rules page? If so, are you able to link where you're getting info on when that message will disappear?

---

It’s because you got a question closed, so the points increase so you can look at the rules.

Answer 8

Crabrawler is not included in the listings for all pokemon that can learn the move Crab Hammer through level-up. This error was likely made because only Crabrawler can learn it and not its evolution Crabominable according to site statistics

Comments

This site is usually good at keeping track of pre-evolution moves. I think the reason is that each move page lists only the Pokemon that learn the move in the newest games, and Crabrawler can't learn crabhammer in the newest games.

Answer 9

The site says that Dialga and Palkia are not found in BDSP if you go to their page

Answer 10

In the page for Altering Cave, it is said that many Pokémon including Smeargle, Stantler and Shuckle can be found. This is incorrect as only Zubat can be found in the cave.

(P.S.: it is also worth mentioning that in the data of Pokémon Emerald, it was planned to have those Pokémon in the cave along with some unused text that hinted at this, but alas, it never came to light.)

Answer 11

I realize that a couple days ago I made an answer that stated that some moves on the Legends: Arceus pages of Pokemon's moves were incorrect. I realize that majority of moves had power and accuracy changes for that game, so at some point could the Legends: Arceus move pages be updated similar to how Gen 1 Pokemon have accurate Red and Blue pages like Hyper Beam being physical.

Answer 12

Hearthome City

The site shows there are no Pokemon in Hearthome, but you receive an Eevee there in Pokemon Platinum. The same mistake is on the Eevee page.

Comments

Many gift Pokemon are missing from PokemonDB.

Answer 13

Shaymin Scarf Pikachu should be changed to become its own form of Pikachu in the Pokemon Go Pokedex (Similar to Balloon Pikachu and Pikachu Libre) because Shaymin Scarf Pikachu exclusively learns Grass Knot

Answer 14

The list of moves affected by sheer force needs to be updated for Gen 9

https://pokemondb.net/ability/sheer-force

Comments

There should be a way to automatically keep the list mostly updated, so Pokemaster needs to manually add only the special cases like anchor shot and genesis supernova.

Answer 15

Hello!
About Lileep, wiki does not specify that you can´t catch them in Pokemon Y, being exclusive to X version.
That´s it :)

Comments

To be clear, you can revive Lileep in Y. It's only the fossil that's exclusive to X.

Answer 16

Hello, there is an error on the garchomp and the magnezone pages for Scarlet/Violet locations. You can actually find these on the side walls of the Crater in Paldea and garchomp can also be a Tera wild pokemon in the west province. I’ll update this if I find any other Pokémon that can be found on the crater edge.

Answer 17

There seems to be an error on the page for Mystical Fire. Despite the fact that Delphox learns it upon evolving (something Delphox's page notes), the Mystical Fire page does not list Delphox as one of the Pokemon that can learn the move.

Comments

This is because those pages haven't been updated to Scarlet Violet, they're updated to Sword and Shield. Delphox was not in Sword and Shield

Answer 18

Snom is available at Dalizipa Pass. You can also get one from an in game trade
On snom's page, it says that you can only get it from breeding a frosmoth in scarlet and violet

Answer 19

Hey, I'm not sure if anybody is fixing things, or am I doing pointless job here :D

Unfortunatelly whole location is missing in PKMN Fire Red on your site and that's the famous / useless for emulators the Altering Cave in Kanto (Sevii Islands) - north of Six Island on Outcast Island.

As all other sources will tell you, you would need Mistery gift to find anything else than Zubat (lvl 6-16).
Which, as I researched, is not possible over PC emulators.
8 other Pokémon might appear if you do set all properly as for example in this tutorial, all details there.

All I see on site is Altering Cave in Hoenn which doesn't contain PKMN Fire Red or Leaf Green. So if there is any effort to repair that? Question Question Winke Winke xD

Comments

Only one person can make the fixes. He checks this thread periodically. He will appreciate you helping.

nice thx Fizz

Answer 20

Garchomp's page says that it can only be obtained by evolving Gible and Gabite. Garchomp can actually be found in the area between the Pokemon League and the Great Crater, flying around.

Here is an example.

Comments

Scarlet and Violet's location data is not accurate on this site, I would go to Serebii or Bulbapedia. PM will fix this eventually

---

Also in a rock area between medali and Zapacio I think. It's not a cave because it's open.

---

I found a tera water Garchomp somewhere, but I forgot where it was.
