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 :)

User monke has no points in meta, shouldn’t they start with 20? Either this is a glitch or my phone is lazy and can’t be bothered to put 20 so it just removed the 2

Huh, I see it too, monke has 0 points. How peculiar.
Long term issue with the site, related to the setup with three instances of Q2A all pointing to the same list of users. The issue fixes itself if the user becomes active on the relevant section.
Ohhhhh ok thanks fizz

Possible error with the gen availability for Hold Back.

Hold Back is listed as having a move description for Scarlet and Violet but when looking through the dex I couldn’t find a single mon that could learn it, including ones that already knew it in Sword and Shield so I think it should have the “This move can’t be used” description.

It’s rare to see a weird move removed in Gen 9 because they’re normally removed in Gen 8 I think this might just be an outlier to that.

Hold Back is a special move with extremely limited event distribution. This site likely doesn't account for event moves in its learn dex and tends to be updated to the major game of the latest Gen. According to the Smogon Dex, Hold Back is in Gen 9 and can be called by Metronome, so due to its limited distribution, that's probably why the move doesn't show any Pokemon for the learn set.

When you click on the link for G-MAX Vine Lash on Venusaur's page it takes you to an error page with the link to the real page. Click here for the error page.
Not a massive error but it could be slightly time consuming for anyone who wants to see g-max vine lash's page straight from venusaur's
