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!

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

isnt Growth a grass type move (starting now in legends ZA)? why does it say on this page that it is normal type move: https://pokemondb.net/move/growth

by
I believe that kind of data tends to be updated if a mainline game changes it. If they make it a different type in a legends game (especially with a new style like Z-A has), it doesn't really make sense to change the type to that as we don't know if it will carry on to the next game, and we do know that it has been normal type in all the other games.

I was trying to complete a living Dex, so I checked Castform's page, and it said it wasn't available in BDSP Trophy Garden, despite the fact it was available in the original games, so I checked the Bulbapedia page, and it is available in Trophy Garden apparently. I don't have the game; however, I'm going to borrow it from a friend, so I can't test this.

Castform is most definitely available in the Trophy Garden in BDSP, I shiny hunted it there. I don't know why this site is missing the daily Trophy Garden spawns for BDSP.

Extremely minor grammatical error in the news section from 15½ years ago :)

Pokabu, the Fire starter, will be known as Tepig, a cross between 'tepid' and 'pig'. Of course, it's evolution is far from tepid.

"It's" should be "its".

by
See, what were you even doing to stumble onto that page and notice that?
Wdym it should be “its” the correct spelling is “it’s”
Believe it or not, I don't think it's worth spending time or energy editing an old, now irrelevant news page for a minor typo.
@Feeshy-Freggles both words are spelt right. "It's" means it is or it has. "Its" means something belongs to something else, like an animal or thing.
Ok (filler)
I think he forgot It's means it is so he put apostrophe that's what I think, also since it's 15 1/2 years ago there's really no point in fixing it just like @JustATypicalPerson said. One reason is, it's so old no one will even bother to read that news since it's so old.
