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 :)

The Gravity page doesn't mention how it increases the accuracy of moves by around 1.67x (might be misremembering the number). It only menting the "grounding flying stuff" part.

The SV DLC Pokedex entries are still missing

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.

There seems to be some minor mistake when it comes to the location of Rhyhorn in pokemon Heartgold/Soulsilver. It can be found at the Safari Zone as well, but only Victory Road and Diglett's Cave are mentioned.

Several reliable sources (such as serebii.net and bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net) all confirm they can be found at the Safari Zone as well. Specifically in the Savannah area during morning and day.

All the Safari Zone locations in HGSS are missing.

There seems to be a mistake with the location of Togepi (and evolved versions). It says you can only get it by trading or migrating from another game. But its a whole big thing how you get to hatch Togepi from an egg. I guess you technically can't find Togepi as you get it in the egg form. But the way it currently is is pretty misleading.

Based on cross-checking with Bulbapedia, the following locations are missing for Togepi (and cause incorrect flow-on 'Trade/migrate...' entries for Togetic and Togekiss):

  • Violet City in HG/SS (Egg from Professor Elm)
  • Nimbasa City in B2/W2 (trade with Yancy/Curtis), as well as Dream Radar
  • Friend Safari in X/Y (Fairy-type)
  • Lavaridge Town in OR/AS (Egg from NPC)

I added the missing entries to this post since Togepi encounters are not missing for every game, e.g. FR/LG and Pt are correct.

The location of Corsola seems to be missing for Soul Silver / Heart Gold. It says it can only be traded/migrated from another game, but they can be found by fishing with a good or super rod in: Routes 19, 34, 40, Cherrygrove City, Olivine City, Cianwood City, Union Cave (according to Serebii.net and bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net).

I do not know if this has already been brought to your attention in another way but there is a slight error on your location guide for Route 8 in the Galar section.

A Crustle (Iv 40 for me) can be encountered in the over world right before Steam drift way, however it is not listed.

This might be more of a suggestion than an error, but I think the HM slave searchers (like this one for XY) should list Smeargle as learning every HM.

Snorlax is at Motostoke riverbank but it says you can't get it

On Charizard's page, it says that you can only get Charizard, in Sword and Shield, from trading or migrating. However, you can get a gift charmander postgame. Therefore, it should be evolve Charmeleon.

Edit: Forgot about raids

You can also just catch the line in raids

[Editing this, because it still isn't working]

For some reason, the moveset searcher isn't working.

It brings up an incomplete list of Pokemon that can learn the move. This happens regardless of where you access the site, or who is using the search service.

Highly specifically, I can't get Rayquaza to show up.

I was originally looking for a 'Mon in FireRed who could learn Brick Break and also Aerial Ace (besides togepi or charizard ), and nothing came up that I liked, so i searched Fly and Brick Break instead, and it didn't work. So, I searched for guys compatible with Fly, and a ton of guys didn't come up, including Rayquaza.

Also searched for outrage, rest, dragon dance, and hyper beam to similar, incomplete results.

I've been testing this for six days now, and the results are always the same; incomplete.

Hmm, I think it's probably using SWSH data now and obviously many Pokemon aren't available in SWSH. Will think on it and try and find a good solution.
Awesome.
Hope it gets resolved soon

Sweet!
It works

Not a big thing, but I was looking at Beautifly's Pokedex entry and noticed this. In the Pokedex entry it shows what moves she can learn, but if you go to any of the moves she learns by level up, it doesn't show her in the list that she can learn it.
(As in, she learns stun spore at level 15, but if you look at the move stun spore it doesn't show that she learns it on level up)

Edit: I thought that I read that it was Black and White, not SwSh. My bad. Hey Pokemaster, do you think that you could use tabs like there are on some of the other pages to switch between the different versions? Whatever route you go, I don't envy the amount of time it'll take to add all of those entries for every version. Oof

Not actually an error. This happens because the movedex pages are for Sw/Sh, and the dex entry you're viewing is for US/UM. (Beautifly doesn't exist in Sw/Sh.)
Yes, with Pokemon entirely missing from SwSh it messes up the move page. I'm working on an update to include all Pokemon, but trying to figure out the best way to display them all without overloading the page.
Hi, PM, a stupid suggestion, maybe you can like limit to what gen what game only then showing the nat dex or local dex of theat specific game? and the general nat dex, let the user choose which edition of national dex to view? i know it gonna be a super big trouble for you, but as we can see, pokemon is gonna having their move edited and edited again after adding/deleting multiple mons/move in future game.

The moveset checker doesn't show Forretress for a set of Toxic Spikes, Spikes and Stealth Rock. Or Showdown! got it wrong.

Oh and I should also note that when I put spikes and toxic spikes in,  it didn't say results for spikes toxic spikes and stealth rock but saidonly toxic spikes and stealth rock
The moveset searcher doesn't work for Pokemon that don't exist in Gen 8.

In this site, the levels of Pokèmon you get from swarm (Black/White) are totally wrong!

Let me list those ,

  1. It is said in this site that from route 1, we can only get a Farfetch'd of level 2. But this is not correct because We can find it at 10-52 range
  2. The level range given for Mankey is inaccurate, because I conducted there a super-long search for an entire day. Actually, it is also 10-52
  3. Wyanut's level range is also the above one!

Briefly, the level-range of swarm Pokèmon are same (except plusle/minun) but the details listed about them in Pokèdex is wrong!

Source: My experience

Thank you!

Pokemon Locations Now, when Pokémon Locations were added for Pokémon Sword/Shield, I see some locations are not listed. Because, Galar added a new mechanic, where Pokémon are guaranteed to be in a certain spot in the overworld. When you enter the location, that Pokémon will spawn, regardless of conditions. Like an Eldegoss on Route 5. Or Zorua In fields of honor, or Marill on challenge beach, or Snorlax at Mostoke Riverbank. Those Pokémon will be guaranteed to be there when you enter the location on the overworld. Please fix the locations so those are listed. Maybe a “Guaranteed Encounter” Section.

This site mentions that you can't get a Zorua in BW2. But Rood gives it to you in Driftveli City saying that it was previously N's Pokémon. Similarly, in Zoroark's locations, it is not mentioned that you can get Zoroark by evolving Zorua.

I believe this should be reported here
Oh then it is already reported in the first answer. Thanks!

Not sure if this has already been said or not, but the gym leaders and trainers has two mistakes I noticed.
1. The more important of the two, Leon's Pokemon are not shown, I'm not sure if this is because he uses random Pokémon and it's random every time, which I think is untrue because I've seen people say he has a Charizard always.
2. A lot of the pictures of the leaders are missing, or not showing if they were there.

It would be helpful if this, the Leon thing more than the pictures thing, could be fixed. Thanks!

He doesn't chose "random" Pokemon per se, it matters on the starter. For example, if you chose ze Rabbit, then, hop would have a monke, so Leon would have an Inteleon. Additionaly, he would have a rhyperior to "counter" your rabbit. There are others I can't remember off the top of my head, but I think he always has a haxorus, c-zard, Aegislash and like possibly a dragapult. :)
Thanks, that clarifies, also, we should still fix this, maybe have him have three sets, like serebii does?

In Zorua's Pokedex Page, It is said that you can't obtain any on Black 2/White 2 unless traded/migrated, while it is possible to get one in Driftveil City as a gift from Rood. You can probably fix it by putting "Driftveil City" into the "Where to find" part on Black 2/White 2 section of Zorua's page.

It states that in pokemon sword and shield, the only way to get lucario is through evolving riolu, however, I have caught one and know that you can find them in north lake miloch.

Maybe I just read it wrong or they have updated the game, but this is annoying because I ended up evolving a riolu through friendship just so I coud breed it for another save.

Wandering Pokemon in the Wild Area are missing from PokemonDB's location guide, so you should use a different website for Sw/Sh locations.

Just a little thing that I thought to bring up. I think it would be a nice little detail that could be put into thePsychic Type page, and that's something similar to this:
As of Generation 8's Isle of Armor DLC, every Psychic type combination has been used, thanks to Galarian Slowbro.
It's just a little thing, but a nice detail that makes things feel more... cohesive and informative. Feel free to do what you like with this information, but I know others would at least appreciate this change.
