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 :)

On Route 115 for ORAS, it lists Swablu as the sole available Horde Encounter at a 35% appearance rate. Either there are other Pokemon available, (like Route 114 has two other encounters,) or Swablu is a 100% encounter rate

Saw that the move Double Hit is listed as a physical type move with 35 damage and 90% accuracy for Arceus, but it's actually a status move with 0 damage and a never miss accuracy.
Btw, thanks for all the hard work that goes into this site!

by
Who told you double hit is a status move?
I believe that they are referring to the Legends Arceus version, which is a status move.
It is in PLA.
I'm playing it right now and it's a status move. If I look at the move it says it's a status move with 0 damage, never misses, and has 10PP. I've had wild Pokemon use it and it doesn't damage me, rather, as the in-game description says, "the user adopts a hard-hitting stance to increase the damage dealt by its moves by 50 percent". Again, this is in Legends Arceus.
In that case, I think the site just needs to note more differences between Legends Arceus and the other core series games.

While moving the mouse over the ability "Soundproof" the following text is displayed "Gives Immunity to < q > sound-based < / q > moves."
Obviously the "< q >" is a typo or a mistake due to the "/" in the last "< q >", please fix it :)

This isn't really an error, but with the Unused Type Combinations page, there are 4 missing combinations, all of which are exclusive to Paradox 'mons.

Ground/Fighting (Exclusive to Great Tusk)

Rock/Electric (Exclusive to Iron Thorns)

Fairy/Fighting (Exclusive to Iron Valiant)

Don't Alolan Geodude and Salandit also have those type combinations?
Oh, Salandit. Dang it. But Alolan Geodude doesn't count, due to being an alternate form.

In the Gen 4 movesets, it doesn't say anything about scizor learning bullet punch on evolution.

That's because it doesn't.

In the gen 1 move set for Mr. Mine it says that they learn confusion at lv 15 even tho they already learn it at lv 10. They don’t even learn a new move at lv 15

by
Did you test any of this?
Yeah, ballslover32xxx, every other major Pokemon data website backs up the claim that Mr. Mime learns Confusion at level 15, but if you can back up the claim that it learns it at level 10 with hard evidence, you should probably also edit the Bulbapedia article, ballslover32xxx.

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

Mystical Power is outdated as of S/V. In Legends Arceus (the game that introduced this move), it boosted either attacking or defending stats depending on the higher one. Nowadays, it just boosts SpA 100% of the time.

by
I think every move introduced in Legends Arceus isn’t updated.
I guess so. I also checked Ceaseless Edge and Victory Dance and they're all outdated.
So what does Victory Dance do now? In LA at least it was physical Quiver Dance
It boosts attack, speed, and defense by one stage.
Actually, in LA, it raised the user's "offensive" and "defensive" stats, and also increased the damage dealt by the user's moves by 50%. Now, it just raises Atk, Def and Spe by 1 stage each.
Basically Physical Quiver Dance

Nosepass now evolves into Probopass via Thunder Stone from PLA (Pokémon Legends: Arceus) onward.

by
Magneton too?
No, Magneton is on the list. Nosepass is missing.

The Shed Tail page is missing Sceptile, which learns it via move reminder.

Similiarly, the Alluring Voice page is missing Skeledirge, which learns it via TM.

I don't know if this is intentional or not but no Gen II or III Pokemon has a listed sprite for FRLG. This is probably intentional and/or mentioned already but I figured I would bring it up.

On the page for Heahea Beach, (which is the location you receive Totem Pokemon from Samson Oak in USUM), neither Raticate nor Marowak are listed as their Alolan forms. Both are listed as Kantonian forms.

Not incorrect data but only on my phone when I go on any NEW page it brings me down to the bottom. It's only like this on my phone and not my computer and it's really annoying.

Quick draw description

Another user has pointed dit out before but didn't answer on this thread so I will instead. If you go to the quick draw page, there is nothing under the 'effect' subtitle, unlike other ability or any sort of description
