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 :)

tm 47 steel wing is wrong because thats the fire red location not the gold location which is in kanto rock tunnel.

Route 28 isn't even in Firered. You *can* get TM47 in Rock Tunnel, but you can also get it on Route 47, according to Bulbapedia.

Answer 1

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 2

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.

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

Answer 3

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

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 4

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 5

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 6

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 7

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 8

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 9

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 10

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.

Answer 11

https://pokemondb.net/item/tm036 has the incorrect move description for SW/SH

Comments

How? It teaches whirlpool, and the site's whirlpool's description matches the one on Bulbapedia.

Answer 12

On the page for Goodra, in the "Where to obtain" section, the page incorrectly states that goodra can be evolved from Hisuian Sliggoo in Pokemon Shield. This is incorrect, as Hisuan forms are incompatable with SWSH

Answer 13

According to moveset searcher abra cannot learn teleport
I put teleport and only teleport on the sercher and abra didnt come up
put teleport here and see

Comments

I believe the moveset searcher is based on the current generation, which is currently SV for the searcher, so Abra doesn't show up under teleport because it isn't in SV. I think there's another section of the site/another feature that's based on the current generation but I forgot what it was.

---

Is cosmog in sv? If so then never mind this suggestion is kinda useless. If not then why is it there?

---

Cosmog can be transferred in, yes.

Gasp!!!!!

Can you post a screenshot? I don't get what you mean.

The first screenshot was taken on the Missions page.

Answer 15

FIX THE VEIW COUNTER

Say I go onto a question for the first time. The veiws go up by one. Thats all fine. But when I go onto it again, let’s say a few days later, the veiws go up again ):<

If it’s meant to do that then It dosent always go up by one. Say I veiw the same question in the same day. it won’t go up?

Comments

I'm pretty sure the view count goes up each time a different viewer views the page.

For example, I view a page and it gets 1 view. I visit it again, and it doesn't go up, but if, let's say, Vines visits it, it goes up 2 views, and if I visit it again, it goes up to 3 views.

I don't know why it works like this though.

---

Thats…… weird

---

It's working as intended. Its function is to remember the last IP address that viewed the page, and if the next viewer's IP address is a match, then it won't increase the view count. That's all, it doesn't keep a history or a list of users.

The design stops you from reloading the page over and over to inflate views, which is all it's supposed to do. It's not really intended to prevent the same person more broadly from adding multiple views over time, not even social media platforms bother with that.

(Unrelated but this should be its own thread, it's not a minor error like a broken link or wrong stat)

---

Oh ok didnt realise that was how it worked. Oops!
