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 :)

There are some Pokémon missing in the part of each Evolution Stone page that mentions the Pokémon that evolve with them.

For the Thunder Stone page, the missing Pokémon are Bellibolt, Vikavolt (since gen 8), Magnezone (since gen 8) and Probopass (since gen 9 DLC).

For the Fire Stone page, Scovillain is missing.

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.

The Gravity page doesn't mention how it increases the accuracy of moves by around 1.67x. It only mentions the "grounding flying stuff" part.
It also doesn't mention that it boosts the power of Grav Apple by 1.5x, and neither does the Grav Apple page mention it.

The ability Quick Draw doesn't have a description for its effect in its page (https://pokemondb.net/ability/quick-draw)

Seems like a fairly simple fix though, so you can just say something along the lines of "Gives a 30% chance for each move to receive +1 priority."

Just thought it was probably a silly mistake, probably worth pointing it out.

Also, forgot to put this as an answer, oops.

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

Qwilfish is available in Pokémon scarlet and violet through the DLC, yet the evolution method described is something along the lines of 'use a strong style move 20 times', which is not possible in scarlet and violet as this is of course the evolution method in PLA. In SV, qwilfish will evolve once it learns barb barrage.

Oricorio's Dancer ability does not list that it can copy victory dance, clangerous soul and aqua step.
Revelation dance does not activate based on oricorio's form but rather its primary type so it changes typing when you terastalise.
The ability overcoat does not list that it negates powder and spore moves.

The Pokédex entry for Hattrem states:

"Evolution of Hattena; evolves into Hatterene."

Hatenna's name is misspelled. This error is also present in the hyperlink, which redirects to a non-existent page.
