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 :)

If you have a NAME ORIGIN correction, please use this thread instead!

The HeartGold/SoulSilver location information for Togepi and Togetic is incorrect. Togepi is obtainable as an egg in Violet City and Togetic is obtainable by evolving Togepi.

has been bugging me for a while..

The weird section below the search bar either gets filled with things like images or text (mainly text) depending on the last question you accessed. This is just another example of the site being broken on iPhone (safari)

I posted and emailed pm about this too a while ago. I’m glad it isn’t just me
Never happened to me. What device, OS, browser is this from? PM needs to know so he can replicate it and fix it.
It happened to me on iPhone, safari. It happens when you click a link and then press the back arrow.
p sure i've seen it on android and chrome as well

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

This page states that the shiny odds are 1/8196, which is not consistent with modern Pokémon games.

HEHE I FOUND THE MOST MINOR ERROR EVER

ago by
Am I deaf or can anyone else not see it? It's showing up as 8192 for me. Unless 8196 was a typo on your part and you meant to say the page isn't updated for modern shiny odds, as the page was likely written in the Gen 4-5 era when the shiny odds were still 1/8192. I assume it's the latter.
Yeah that’s what I mean. How is it a typo
Where are you seeing 8196?
on the part where is says "Shininess (1/8192 chance)" under "Personality Values".

I still don't see why it's a typo on my part. The linked page says that the shiny odds are 1/8192, because it was written a long time ago. I'm saying that this is not the same with new Pokemon games, which it isn't. Where did I get it wrong?

This site says that walking has a 9% probability of meeting Minun in both Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. However, in my Alpha Sapphire, you have 9% probability of meeting Plusle and 0% probability of meeting Minun.

It's also worth noting that, if Bulbapedia and Serebii are to be believed, the chance of many of the other encounters are also incorrect.
https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Hoenn_Route_110#Generation_VI
https://www.serebii.net/pokearth/hoenn/route110.shtml
I didn't mean that it's exactly 9% (I thought so, because pokemondb says it), but that there should be Plusles instead of Minuns in Alpha Sapphire. Nevertheless, someone should check these percentages and correct them.

In every route that contains water in Unova says that you can catch Red-striped Basculin in both Black and White but in Black you find Red striped and in White you find Blue striped.

This should go on the thread for the location guide... though I recently added an answer that points out a very similar error, so I'm not sure it's necessary you add this answer there instead. https://pokemondb.net/pokebase/meta/14511/corrections-improvements-to-our-location-guide?show=77265#a77265
They're not game exclusive they can just be found in different patches of water

On the site the point requirements for the rules to go away (for new users and the like) change. Sometimes they say you need 40 points other times you need 80 points. It's nothing major (which is why it's here) but it could be confusing to new members for what you actually need.

by
Who/what is "they"?
Are you referring to the message at the top of the page prompting you to read the rules page? If so, are you able to link where you're getting info on when that message will disappear?
It’s because you got a question closed, so the points increase so you can look at the rules.

Crabrawler is not included in the listings for all pokemon that can learn the move Crab Hammer through level-up. This error was likely made because only Crabrawler can learn it and not its evolution Crabominable according to site statistics

by
This site is usually good at keeping track of pre-evolution moves. I think the reason is that each move page lists only the Pokemon that learn the move in the newest games, and Crabrawler can't learn crabhammer in the newest games.

The site says that Dialga and Palkia are not found in BDSP if you go to their page

In the page for Altering Cave, it is said that many Pokémon including Smeargle, Stantler and Shuckle can be found. This is incorrect as only Zubat can be found in the cave.

(P.S.: it is also worth mentioning that in the data of Pokémon Emerald, it was planned to have those Pokémon in the cave along with some unused text that hinted at this, but alas, it never came to light.)

I realize that a couple days ago I made an answer that stated that some moves on the Legends: Arceus pages of Pokemon's moves were incorrect. I realize that majority of moves had power and accuracy changes for that game, so at some point could the Legends: Arceus move pages be updated similar to how Gen 1 Pokemon have accurate Red and Blue pages like Hyper Beam being physical.

Hearthome City

The site shows there are no Pokemon in Hearthome, but you receive an Eevee there in Pokemon Platinum. The same mistake is on the Eevee page.

Many gift Pokemon are missing from PokemonDB.

Shaymin Scarf Pikachu should be changed to become its own form of Pikachu in the Pokemon Go Pokedex (Similar to Balloon Pikachu and Pikachu Libre) because Shaymin Scarf Pikachu exclusively learns Grass Knot

The list of moves affected by sheer force needs to be updated for Gen 9

https://pokemondb.net/ability/sheer-force

by
There should be a way to automatically keep the list mostly updated, so Pokemaster needs to manually add only the special cases like anchor shot and genesis supernova.

Hello!
About Lileep, wiki does not specify that you can´t catch them in Pokemon Y, being exclusive to X version.
That´s it :)

by
To be clear, you can revive Lileep in Y. It's only the fossil that's exclusive to X.
