(Archive) Small Objective Changes Thread

[eric the espeon]

Another thing I found, a small nitpick, but Return's max base power is 102 and not 100. And happiness is mostly maxed out anyway.
Found here

Don't know how much do you care about the accuracy or not, but I feel that it should be corrected.

It says 100 base attack, not 100 base power. It is correct. (accuracy is very important, if you find something like that which is actually wrong don't hesitate to point it out)

 

[Rising_Dusk]

In this article on OU speed tiers, there is an error. It lists under "Tier 0(+1 users to >130 base Speed)" that Azelf and Gengar have the same 110 base speed and both reach 525 with a +1 boost, when in fact Azelf has a base speed of 115 and reaches a speed of 541 with a +1 boost.

 

[Scoopapa]

In the new Gligar analysis, the lead set has the following sentence regarding Milotic (bold for emphasis)

It can fearlessly switch into Pokemon that attempt to end Gligar with super effective Water- or Ice-type moves with little fear, and can proceed to cripple the opponent with Toxic or attempt to deal a decent amount of damage with its STAB move.

Just a little accident, but one of the bold phrases needs to be removed.

 

[viol and bass]

Latias, Suicune, Gyarados, and Celebi can both switch in easily on relatively weak Earthquakes and Surfs from defensive Pokemon and, in many cases, OHKO back.

From "Team Options". "Both" should be changed to "all".

I fixed both of these.

This appears in the Standard Bat set. It's the last sentence of the second paragraph.

Coupled with Taunt, Crobat can singlehandedly defeated many walls who can't do a sufficient amount of damage back.

just take the 'ed off of the word "defeated"

 

[Xia]

Scoopapa's error has been fixed. Thank you. =]

 

[-Meowth-]

I found another one! I am starting to get good at this "-_-

http://www.smogon.com/dp/articles/trick_room_guide

"what is Trick Room" part, first paragraph.

Trick Room is a move which will make the slower Pokémon go first for four turns. It has has -7 priority

Just remove either of them.

 

[Komodo]

I fixed the above post.

swampert dp analysis

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

Team Options

Since Swampert lacks a form of recovery outside of Leftovers, Wish support is a great aid. Both Jirachi and Blissey make good teammates, as Jirachi and Swampert cover each other's weaknesses well, while Blissey can take special attacks aimed at Swampert. Non-Rest Swampert is also susceptible to Toxicso a user of Aromatherapy or Heal Bell, such as Blissey or Celebi, can be useful. If running Roar, Spikes support can help Swampert rack up entry hazards damage even faster.

should be Toxic so

 

[Komodo]

I fixed the post above.

 

[gaudetjaja]

found another one in the garchomp analysis.

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

Other Options
(...)
Given that Garchomp has better overall defenses than Swampert, running a defensive set that utilizes Rest and Sleep Talk may seem like a viable option, but Dialga is generally the better choice for this, as Dialga as no 4x weaknesses and has better defenses than Garchomp.

should be has

sigh... another one in Opinion in the same garchomp analysis:

Opinion
With Choice Band, Garchomp is a powerful physical threat that needs not set up time.

Should be no

 

[Komodo]

Both of those are fixed. Staff member needs to approve.

This is sort of big, wasn't sure where to put this, but the first set's comments are missing.

 

[Age of Kings]

Was my previous post deleted....? I think they're pretty important unless I posted in the wrong place...

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

First set's comments are missing. Scrolling down past the CurseTomb set is some oddly placed "SET COMMENTS" in caps.

In the alakazam analysis in Other Options:

Energy Ball and Grass Knot are great options if you need coverage against Water, Rock, and Ground-types; however, this is only useful on certain teams, since Psychic will usually do enough damage. Shadow Ball hits Ghosts and Psychics hard, but generally Signal Beam is generally more reliable, as it also lets you hit Dark-types without relying on Focus Blast. Hidden Power Fighting can be considered over Focus Blast if you are worried about the latter's accuracy; however, the damage output will be disappointing against Pokemon such as Tyranitar and Heatran.

I think the second of those ' generally' should go away, it sounds a bit awkward to me (although perhaps not completely wrong).

I fixed this, and another error in the same text.

 

[gvmgvm40]

...A mixed attacking set is preferred here, as the higher Base Power of Hydro Pump and Ice Beam&emdash;when compared with Waterfall and Ice Fang...

There should also be a space after the semicolon.
http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/sharpedo

...Tickle is a fairly gimmicky idea, although it could work on the Tank set to cause switches and rack up damage from entry hazards...

No grammar error here but there are only 2 sets in the analysis: Choice Band and Dragon Dance.
http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/whiscash

Ditto is the ultimate power and is compost Pokémons!

I'm not sure what this sentence is trying to say. Also, the plural of Pokemon is still Pokemon.
http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/ditto

For the last move slot, there are many options to choose from...

Moveslot is one word..

Toxic allows Chimeco to wear down Pokemon that give it trouble.

Chimecho.

[Komodo]

I fixed up both of those mistakes. Blame me for the Whiscash...I wrote that ._.

 

[gvmgvm40]

I added a few more mistakes.

 

[Komodo]

I fixed those too, but next time, (okay, I'm guilty of this) make new posts so it's easier to keep track of. You are allowed to double/triple post in this thread etc.

 

[supermarth64]

I got the second part of StevenSnype and DDRMaster's edits (whoever did those forgot about Scarf Starmie and Heatran change.)

 

[the opponent]

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

Paragraph 4 of the UU section:

You may instead use a spread of 252 Atk / 40 SpD / 216 Spe, which outruns Timid Raikou and Jolly Ambipom. The 40 HP will give you a better chance of surviving a +2 Vacuum Wave from Toxicroak and a super effective Hidden Power from Timid Raikou. You may shift 4 EVs from Attack to Special Defense to guarantee survival against Raikou's Hidden Power.

The EVs are inconsistent as the spread says 40 SpD, whereas the text says 40 HP.

 

[supermarth64]

Got that, thanks.
