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

I just wanted to post an issue I found for Spiritomb on the site. It claims the only way to get it on Scarlet/Violet is through trade but it is possible to find one in the wild. It only happened once so far but I found one in the wild in Scarlet.

Comments

where did you find it? you have to be more specific than that

---

I found it in the Glaseado Mountains/Casseroya Lake: Socarrat Trail area up in the snowy mountains. It was at the eastern tip of the snow biome east of the North Province(Area Three) fast travel. As I was typing this I went to the area to get the name of the area and found another there. I read an article on GameRant that it can be found at the ruins south of Grusha's Gym. I decided to check there as well and found one there. It should be noted that it tends to defeat itself in battle using Curse and Memento so a Quickball would possibly be the preferred ball to try to catch it with.

SV location data on the site is currently inaccurate. It will all be fixed in the future

Thanks, I've added them.

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

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!

Comments

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.

Answer 5

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

Comments

That's because it doesn't.

Answer 6

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

Comments

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.

Answer 7

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.

Comments

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

Answer 8

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.

Answer 9

On the Linoone page, Extreme Speed is listed as an egg move. However, on the Extreme Speed page, Linoone is listed neither under the "learnt by breeding" section nor anywhere else on the page.

Answer 10

This is a minor correction as well as a suggestion in a pinch. I believe that Crobat's name origin is not only from cross and bat, but acrobatics as well.

Comments

There's a dedicated thread for name origins: https://pokemondb.net/pokebase/meta/9913/errors-with-our-name-origins-etymology-page

Answer 11

I've just found a man in Sword who will trade you a Throh for a vanillish, I've never seen this mentioned anywhere, and I think it's important as it's a way to get Throh in game without trading
The man is next to the fountain in the main square in Circhester

Comments

https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Throh_(Pok%C3%A9mon)
It's listed as one of Throh's locations on this page. I find that Bulbapedia's Pokemon location information is usually more complete than it is on other sites.

Answer 12

Pretty much every Pokemon in the dex after Walking Wake are missing Pokedex entries, and they do have dex entries in game

Comments

this isn't as much a site error as it is pokemaster not updating it

Answer 13

In the chat, most swear words are censored, but I just saw that 'shite' isnt, even though it is a swear word. Thought it would be best to censor it to make it more PG. Because of this, other british slang words are probably also not censored by the chat.

Answer 14

Delta Stream's description says

Electric-, Ice-, and Rock-type moves deal normal damage to any Flying-type Pokémon in battle instead of being super-effective.

This is true for most Pokemon, however, Mega Rayquaza, who is the only one who gets the ability, is quad weak to ice, so ice is super effective, not normal damage. I think this should be change to:

Electric-, Ice-, and Rock-type deal a reduced stage of effectiveness to any Flying-type Pokémon in battle. For example, a Flying-type weak to Rock would take neutral damage from it, but a Flying-type that is 4x weak to Rock would only be super effective.

Comments

Personally, I think the current description is fine. Ice type moves do normal damage to the flying type, but ice is super effective because of the dragon type's weakness to ice, hence making it a 2x weakness instead of a 4x for rayquaza.

---

"Strong winds makes electric, ice, and rock neutrally effective against the flying type." is correct and less wordy, but it's probably still confusing.

---

I’m not really sure, it just seems a bit misleading the way it is. It kinda reads like all flying types are neutral to all of them, which isn’t true for rayquaza

---

The flying type is. Dragon isn't.
I agree with sumwun's description. The current description assumes that you know it's talking about the pure flying type, which is where I see how it can be confusing.

Answer 15

On Zorua’s page, it is listed as only obtainable via “trade/migrate from another game” in Black 2/White 2, but this is false. N’s Zorua is available in-game as a gift, not a trade or migration.

The reason I believe this to be an error is because the event Zorua/Zoroark are listed as possible encounters for Black/White, which required an irl (now outdated) gift event to obtain in the first place. However, it does retain “N” as his OT, so I could see why this would possibly make Zorua’s obtainable status a bit of a gray area.

Still, I feel like “trade/migrate from another game” is not an accurate description. Some mention of the in-game gift should be stated. Something like “received as a gift from Rood, N’s Zorua” on Zorua’s page and “evolve N’s Zorua” for Zoroark’s would be adequate. Trade/Migrate is assumed for all cases not already available in-game.

Answer 16

Minor problem with the moveset searcher. I felt like figuring out if there was some Pokèmon that learned both sucker punch and pursuit, so I went to the moveset searcher. There was none. I set it to just pursuit, and it still said there are none. I went to pursuit’s page and there was a bunch. Maybe this happens a lot and I’m just dumb, or maybe it doesn’t work if there’s only one move. Just reporting something weird

Comments

It's likely because the pursuit hasn't been in the game since Gen 7 and the moveset searcher is likely updated for Gen 9.

---

yeah I asked somebody I know and they said they thought pursuit wasn't even in gen 9. Should I hide this?

Edit: yeah I was right I checked look at the game descriptions for SW/SH and S/V

Answer 17

Sableye's sprite does not work. You have to click onto it.

Comments

What were you trying to do that didn't work? Can you link the page where this happens?

Answer 18

The 5th and 6th trial captain in the Sun and Moon “Trial Captains, Kahunas & Elite Four” section are missing despite being listed. The 6th captain is listed for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon but the 6th still isn’t.
