What sources does the Pokemon Database consider 'reliable'

Question

For example for a question named: What colour is shiny primal groudon? What sites are seen as reliable to get this information off? For example: Pokemon DB (of course) , bulbapedia and serebii? Or is it any?

Answer 1

It's left to the asker and the answerer. There aren't any rules for this, but here's an idea:

• Trustworthy sites that have earned a good reputation, such as Smogon, Bulbapedia and Serebii, are generally reliable. False info on those sites is uncommon.
• Official sites like pokemon.com come directly from Nintendo, and so they're almost always reliable.
• Forum posts are less trustworthy, as anyone could upload anything, including false info. However, if they prove that what they say is correct or a reliable site is linked as a source of info, these are probably fine.
• CoroCoro magazine; it frequently leaks new information about upcoming Pokemon games/ events. Watch out for fakes on the internet though, a lot of people crop & edit CoroCoro pages to look genuine.

For the example, obviously an official site is best, but if they don't have the info, then look for it on Bulbapedia or Serebii since they're your next best options.

Fondant, we don't allow Pokemon YTers in the news section, so I won't keep them here.
