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 :)

Pokedex numbers for the Isle of Armor and the Crown Tundra come after Pokedex numbers for Scarlet and Violet, despite the latter being released later. I've noticed this for Noibat, Dreepy, and Klefki, and I'm sure other pages have the same quirk.

"Existing" Pokemon in base SV still does not have its move pool updated past TM171
For example: https://pokemondb.net/pokedex/meowscarada, the TM list only goes up to TM171, but Meowscarada can learn TM181, TM194 and TM199 in Teal Mask

The description for Gale Wings should tell that the ability was nerfed in Gen 7 so that it only works if the user is at full health.

Rre Poké Ball used for event Pokémon.

Found in the Cherish Ball section. It needs to be rare, nor rre.

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 affected moves part of the Reckless page has the description from Iron Fist' page.

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

However, these are recoil moves, not Punching moves.

There is nothing on Ivy Cudel's moveset

Day 164 of Ivy Cudgel barely existing, I think this counts as incorrect data as Ivy Cudgel does have Power, Accuracy and PP, and a alternating type between Grass, Water, Rock and Fire.

This has bugged me ever since I joined 5 months ago so if you fix this and let people know what it does that would make my day.

by
Same with Syrup Bomb, Blood Moon and Matcha Gotcha. What makes it even weirder is that while the recent Indigo Disk moves have their data, the earlier Teal Mask moves don't.
I said that

- TM203 Psych Up
- TM204 Double-Edge
- TM210 Supercell Slam

*seems to be a wide-spread thing for later TMs to be missing from a lot of mons

  • 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.

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
