Serebii's data

This would be SO much more helpful in finding the best ways to catch certain Pokemon, shiny or not. i don't think organizing the data by slots or even types is necessary, you could just throw all the Pokemon into the location and it would be great!

Thanks for considering, I know you probably won't read this for a long time.

If it's already on Bulbapedia and Serebii, why don't you just read those sites?
Because this site should be BETTER than those.
Because this site has the easiest to read location data despite having the least accurate location data. For the most part, all we miss is static encounters, which if you are experienced in Pokemon, you should know off the top of your head. The Friend Safari has a huge encounter table of a lot of Pokemon exclusive to the Friend Safari in XY. It is a critical error and gap in our location data
When we say it's missing static encounters, we mean things as far-reaching as wandering encounters in Sw/Sh Wild Area. It misses plenty more than that too, even in older games. It can't be relied upon.
The location guide errors thread still has 22 answers, and the top-voted answers all report lots of errors (including a lot of errors that aren't static encounters). I use Bulbapedia when I play Pokemon and I check Bulbapedia when I see someone else using Pokemon DB's location information.
