The main set's ability hyperlinks need to be separated.

In the 2nd paragraph of OC:

Sky Uppercut is another option as it gains a boost from Iron Fist and STAB, though Close Combat's higher accuracy is usually better.

This seems to imply Hitmonchan's Sky Uppercut is more powerful than CC, which it isn't. Even after Iron Fist, Sky Uppercut still only has 102 BP.

In Tentacruel's second paragraph of optional changes, there is an error:

Aside from Leftovers, Tentacruel, being a Poison-type, can use Black Sludge to heal HP,. This makes Trick users more wary about using Trick, but if that happens then they also have a damaging item to Trick onto your non-Poison Pokemon. You can try running an alternate EV spread with Timid and more Speed in order to 2HKO the likes of Gliscor and Roserade with Ice Beam, although 252 HP is a priority. 216 Special Attack EVs let Tentacruel always OHKO Dragonite with Ice Beam, and 132 Special Attack EVs let Tentacruel OHKO Infernape with Surf.

This move's description is completely wrong, both in the actual page and in the list of Gen 1 attacks. It's described like how it works in 2nd gen and above, when in actuality it works the same as Bind, Wrap, and Clamp.

 

[Zystral]

I fixed it on the main page, but the /rb/moves list page is something different and requires an admin to fix.

Phanpy - Lead Tank

Earthquake is Phanpy's primary STAB attack,(comma) and can deal major damage to the foe.

Might want to remove (comma), it's really weird.

 

[Flora]

Nice catch Tomahawk! There were actually two instances of the (comma) happening so I went ahead and fixed them both.

Under "Other Options" - "just attack you with Earthquake if they really scared" should be "just attack you with Earthquake if they are really scared"

The link to Ice Beam in the Related Moves section is broken. The "/moves" bit is missing from the URL.

The same problem as my above post, the link to Ice Beam is missing "/moves".

Mentions honchkrow, crobat and shaymin, none of which are in the same tier as linoone anymore

We'll catch it with the Linoone revamp. Thanks.

Hello, chaos.

In Vespiquen's analysis, there is a spelling error in the "Team Options" section.

Though not a necessity, having Toxic Spikes support would allow Vespiquen to drop Toxic from her moveset, making room for another move such as Hidden Power Ground orffl Defend Order.

Hope this gets fixed soon, and I'm wondering, how did it get past the spellchecker?

 

[Rising_Dusk]

Hi. Chaos doesn't actually check this thread, I'm the one managing it, and anyone with a badge can fix the errors posted here. Anyway, I've fixed your error.

how did it get past the spellchecker?

It can happen in the mod check if they accidentally push buttons without noticing or it could've just been missed. It happens, and that's why we're here to fix it. ;)

This does not allow escape from the trapping ability, Shadow Tag, or the moves Mean Look, Spider Web, and Arena Trap.

Arena Trap is not an attack, it's an ability like Shadow Tag.

"Related Moves" is stated twice. I haven't noticed this with any other moves.

Fixed the above 2 posts, thanks :)

From Mesprit's Weather Support set,

"Grass Knot allows Mesprit to hit Rhyperior, Lanturn, and Milotic hard."

Lanturn should not be listed as it is hit harder by Psychic than Grass Knot.

Sorry if this is the wrong thread for this, but it doesn't really seem "controversial".

Quagsire's Uber Support set has a typo in the damage calculations section: it says Spatial Rend instead of Spacial Rend.

 

[Athenodoros]

On the RMT rules page, the OU banlist has not been changed from the initial banlist. It needs to be updated to include the first round of suspect testing.

 

[Tomahawk]

http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/kakuna

On the choice set, the calculations are off:

"min HP/Def Psychic Arceus is a 22HKO"
It's a 3HKO.

"Max HP Steel-type Arceus is now a 25 HKO"
It's a 13HKO.

"Bug Bite's addition lowers max HP / max Def Steelix from a 94HKO to a 36HKO."
It's a 20HKO. Also, the 94HKO is incorrect: Poison Sting doesn't affect Steelix. If we're talking about Struggle: it's an 18HKO.

 

[Athenodoros]

I think those are joke calculations anyway. I don't think anyone expects them to actually be accurate.
