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 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

https://pokemondb.net/pokedex/dialga/moves/6

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

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.

Comments

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

Answer 5

Type: Null in the language part says that is called like that in Spanish, his Spanish name is "Código Cero" which means "Code Zero"

Answer 6

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.

Some abilities are not ignored by Mold Breaker, Teravolt, or Terablaze but aren't stated on their pages, which it should to stay consistent with abilities like Aura Break. These abilities are Shadow Shield, Magic Guard, Comatose, Shields Down, or Full Metal Body.

Answer 7

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.

Comments

https://m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Poni_Grove

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

Answer 8

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)

Comments

Many encounters like this are missing.

---

yea, further i went in the game i saw some missing ones, but tbh i like to help with the perfection :) it is pretty much perfectly made side, helped me a lot, tho i should have played this without using the site so much, at least for the first time :D

Answer 9

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

Comments

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

Answer 10

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.

Answer 11

a minor correction, on low kick
the part where it lists pokemon who are hit for 120 base damage by low kick
208: steelix (and mega)
208: mega steelix

Answer 12

Hey,

I've found higher level Graveler than on the site after rock smash, lvl 60.

Game: PKMN Fire Red
location: Cerulean Cave, Kanto - 2F - Rock Smash

Answer 13

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.

Answer 14

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

Answer 15

https://pokemondb.net/ability lacks a description for Quick Draw.

Answer 16

The file names for Pokémon HOME sprites where the Pokémon have gender differences are inconsistent. The great majority are named [Pokémon name].png (e.g. Male Venusaur) for the male counterpart and [Pokémon name]-f.png (e.g. Female Venusaur) for the female counterpart. However, starting with Meowstic, they are named [Pokémon name]-male.png (e.g. Male Meowstic) and [Pokémon name]-female.png (e.g. Female Meowstic).

I am using these sprites to track my National Dex completion, but I have them linked using a formula that takes the Pokémon name and its form to generate the appropriate filename. Would it be possible to homogenize them? As far as I know, the only ones with the -male and -female naming scheme are Meowstic, Indeedee and Basculegion.

Comments

Hi, the reason those Pokemon use male/female suffixes is because they are separate forms, not just visual gender differences. They have differences in moves or abilities. So it's intentional to name them like that.
Also one more you missed is Oinkologne, there are 4 in total.

---

Ah, the reason I didn't list Oinkologne is because it doesn't have a HOME sprite (yet). Guess I'll have to handle these exceptions in my code somehow if homogenizing them isn't an option. I did find out that all the male sprites work without the suffix either way, so it's only the females that are inconsistent.

Answer 17

I imagine this is a work in progress since HOME compatibility just came out, however the rest of the sprites are fine so I'm reporting it just in case. Tinkatink, Tinkatuff and Tinkaton's HOME sprites are missing. Maushold's information page doesn't have the HOME sprites either, but modifying its Scarlet & Violet sprite URL to say "home" instead of "scarlet-violet" does bring up both Maushold forms' sprites (this is not true for the other three).

Edit: I was checking further and the Maushold issue is true for Oinkologne as well, I haven't manually checked every single entry but the Paldea dex might need rechecking.

Comments

Yes I must have been working on it at the exact time you posted, as I'd uploaded the sprites but not added them to the pages yet. They should all be listed now!

---

That's great, I just checked them! Thank you so much!

Answer 18

Transistor was recently nerfed in Gen 9 to only boost Electric moves by 1.3, not listed on the Transistor ability page.

Comments

Does that apply to Dragon's Maw too?

---

“The counterpart Ability, Dragon's Maw, did not receive the same reduction.”

---

That's really weird, poor Regieleki that's unfair

---

I mean Regielek(t)i is fast

Answer 19

A minor detail
Scizor's ability "Technician" is not there anymore in its db

Comments

I overhauled the code behind the site in the past week and it caused a few missing lines in places. I've fixed the abilities now, thanks for letting me know!

Answer 20

The Route 110 page for ORAS lists Plusle as only available as a horde encounter for both games, which is incorrect. I’m not sure about OR, but I’ve seen many by themselves there while playing AS. Perhaps the encounters for Plusle and Minun are swapped between versions?
