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 :)

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

Answer 1

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 2

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

the moveset searcher

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!!!!!

Dropdown box options in the searchbar are abnormally large

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

The first screenshot was taken on the Missions page.

Answer 4

The Moves learnt by level up list for Galarian Rapidash is missing; only the list for regular Rapidash appears as if they were the same moves.
https://pokemondb.net/pokedex/rapidash

Comments

This happens because the main dex pages are for gen 9 and Galarian Rapidash isn't in gen 9. Not that it's clear at all about what's happening.
The page for gen 8 has both: https://pokemondb.net/pokedex/rapidash/moves/8

Answer 5

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

Comments

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

Answer 6

“Pokemon Games” Dropdown tab isn’t updated for the new game in the Winds and Waves page. https://pokemondb.net/winds-waves

Comments

Yeah it is.

Answer 7

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.

Comments

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.

Answer 8

In https://pokemondb.net/etymology

Sableye is said to have "sable" because of the mammal, but it's more likely from sable being an adjective meaning "black" or "dark and gloomy"

Mence in Salamence is said to come from "menace", but I think it's much more likely that the mence comes from "vehemence", meaning intense feeling or expression, a reference to how Shelgon wanted to fly so badly its DNA altered just to grow wings

Crustle is said to come from "castle" but i think its more likely a mix of "crustacean"/"crust" and "mantle" (the inside of the earth), since i don't really see what it has to do with castles apart being made of stone

i'll come back if i find more pokemon with better explanations than what's written

Answer 9

It says on the site that no pokemon spawn in alfonada cavern, and on the pokemon in alfonada cavern's pages, it doesn't say they spawn there

Answer 10

To follow up on Trapinch's answer, I looked through the areas in Paldea that came up immediately on the search box, and Colonade Hollow and Dalizapa Passage also lacked encounters.
Could someone tell me if there's a way to mass search more than the top 12 in the alphabet with just a keyword like 'Paldea' or 'Max'?
Additionally, Cabo Poco doesn't list the lv. 2 Sqawkabilly you can find on the roof of your house, and Cascarrafa doesn't mention the Wooper you get traded (but are any of the NPC trades on here?)

Comments

You can search more than the top 12 by typing whatever into the search bar you normally use, then hitting 'enter'.
