(Archive) Small Objective Changes Thread

Alright, it's been a while, but I have all the typos I found for Darkrai-Dustox, totalling 24.

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

--In the last sentence of the Assistance set, it says "Also don't forget...". There should be a comma in front of also.

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

--In the lead set, first paragraph, it says "The last two slots provides entry hazards...". "Provides" should be "provide".

http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/deoxys-a

--In the lead set, first paragraph, it says "...second fastest Stealth Rock user in Uber". Since it's referring to the tier in general, it should say "Ubers".
--In Team Options, last sentence, it says "...and each can help punch holes in opposing team". "Team" should be plural.

http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/deoxys-d

--In the Spiker set, last paragraph, it says "Spikes lowering Kyogre's Water Spout". "Spikes lowering the power of Kyogre's Water Spout" is more clear.
--In Other Options, first sentence, it says "the chance of it the chance of it sweeping". "The chance of it" is repeated twice and should have one deleted.
--In the last sentence of Other Options, it says "...can be useful, it takes away...". "...can be useful, as it takes away.." is more clear.

http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/deoxys-s

-In the Dual Screen set, second paragraph, it says "Kyogre's Water Spout fails OHKO in the rain". "Fails OHKO" should be "fails to OHKO".

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

--In the Support set, third paragraph, it says "While Dialga will at least crippled Focus Sash or Choice Scarf Darkrai.". "Crippled" should be "cripple".

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

--In the Choice Band set, second -aragraph, it says "...much higher Base Power that Ice Shard". "That" should be "than".
--In the last sentence of the same set, it says "Mismagius's". "Mismagius'" is proper.
--In UU Team Options, first paragraph, it mentions Froslass, who is banned from UU.
--In UU Optional Changes, near the bottom, it says "...can hit Tangrowth for super effective." "Damage" should be added to the end of that sentence.
-In the EV's Optional Changes, it says "An Adamant nature is recommend." "Recommended" is what should be there.

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

--In the Support set, third paragraph, it says "...commonly carry an Ice-type moves". "Ice-type move" is correct, along with "commonly carry Ice-type moves".
--In the same paragraph of the same set, it mentions 3 Pokemon Dragonite would outspeed with X amount of EV's. However, the article says there are 4.
--In the 4th paragraph of the same set, it says "...resists both Rock-type and Ice-type". "...resists both Rock- and Ice-type moves" is more concise.
--In Team Options, second paragraph, it says "capable to 2HKOing". Instead, "capable of 2HKOing" should be used.

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

--In the Specially Defensive set, fourth paragraph, it says "Mismagius's". "Mismagius'" is correct.
--In Team Options, last paragraph, it says "...switch in to Ground-typ es not named Torterra". The space in "Ground-typ es" needs removed.

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

-In the Baton Pass V 2.0 set, last sentence, it has a regular dash between two parts of the sentence. This needs to be an em dash.

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

--In the Physical Attacker set, fourth paragraph, it says "which outruns and Jolly Ambipom". The "and" in that sentence needs removed.

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

--In the Trick Room set, last sentence of the second paragraph, it says "...choose to forgo Pain Split". There is no period at the end of this sentence here, after "Pain Split", and should have one added.
--In Team Options, fourth paragraph, it says "Scizor and Tyranitar are comfortably deal...". "Scizor and Tyranitar can comfortably deal..." is correct.

That's all I found for every Pokemon starting with D.
 
Continuing with my massive burst of productivity today, here are all the typos I found from Electrivire-Exploud.

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

--In the Agility SubPetaya set, second paragraph, it says "...there is only a small number of Pokemon who can stop Empoleon from a sweep." A more concise wording would be "...there are only a small number of Pokemon who can stop Empoleon from sweeping."
--In the Defensive Penguin set, second paragraph, it says "Ice Beam hits Dragonite for a 4x the damage". The "a" is extraneous.
--In the same set, 4th paragraph, a regular dash is used to cojoin two clauses where an em dash should be.
--In Team Options, first sentence of the second paragraph, the ssme problem as above occurs.
--In Other Options, last paragraph, it says "Rest and Sleep Talk isn't a bad option...". "RestTalking isn't a bad option.." helps with subject-verb agreement.
--In Counters, first sentence, it says "...wear the threats that stop it down." While I think this is grammatically correct, it's really awkward, so "..wear down the threats that stop it." sounds better.

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

--In the Opinion, it says that it has "it's seat in low BL". Entei is NU, but I'm not sure if he was low BL last gen and they are just referring to that, since I never played the ADV gen.

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

-In the EspyJump set, fourth paragraph, it mentions Rhydon as an option to take out Ambipom. Since this is UU, why isn't Rhyperior listed here?
--In the same set, last sentence, it says "...often easier to pass to it Moltres is generally...". This is two sentences mixed together by the lack of a period. This excerpt should say "...often easier to pass to it. Moltres is generally...".

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

--In the Sunny Day set, last sentence, it says "easy eight turn of sun". "Turn" should be plural.

That's all I found for the letter E.
 
http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/abomasnow

The benefits of Abomasnow's dual typing are few, but helpful nonetheless. Its resistance to Water-type moves and neutrality to Ice-type attacks make it a good choice to switch into the average Water-type. The Electric-type resistance is useful against Starmie, Lanturn, and pure ...

The reference to Abomasnow should be replaced with the word Abomasnow, like...

...average Water-type. Abomasnow's Electric-type resistance is useful against Starmie, Lanturn, and pure ...

Just a tiny error to correct:
2lvnvjo.jpg

In Goldeen's swift swimmer set there is no space between "and" and "its" and it says "andits." Goldeen's page.

If I find any more, I'll make sure to report them.

The following Pokemon: Zapdos, Moltres, Regigigas, and Arceus in the Platinum Legends capture article, need to have their possessive changed from the singular to the plural form in their respective sections. The plural possessive form is used for Zapdos and Moltres in the HGSS Legends capture article, and the same is done for Arceus in the D/P legends capture article.

http://www.smogon.com/ingame/guides/capturing_plat_legendaries

And the other two articles for reference:

http://www.smogon.com/ingame/guides/capturing_dp_legendaries

http://www.smogon.com/ingame/guides/capturing_hgss_legendaries
 
Actually, those other articles are incorrect. In the articles, you're talking about a very specific thing, that one Moltres or that one Zapdos that you're up against. You are not wording it like this: "All Moltres' movesets include Flamethrower", you're saying "Moltres's moveset includes Flamethrower." When you list "Moltres's Stats" you're talking about a specific thing, one Moltres, and the stats it can have. The singular possessive is correct there.

I will fix the other articles to use the singular possessive.
 
In the guide to Ubers here, under "Having Key Resistances" under "Team Building", the word misnomer is incorrect. It should, perhaps, be "misapprehension" or "misconception".
 
Also here (I'm flicking back and forth, and reporting as I see errors), in the last line before "Entry Hazard Leads", it says:

For the sake of reference here is a list leads that are viable in the current Ubers metagame

The word of is missing.
 
Again, in the line:

That would be all Ubers, Metagross, Blissey, Heatran, Forretress, Skarmory, Magnezone, Ninjask, Weavile, ect.
Click to expand...

it should be etc. It is in the team checklist, under have a check or counter to most of the Pokemon mentioned.
 
The Shiftry analysis page: http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/shiftry

In UU, most Fire-types are good counters for Shiftry. Ninetales and Rapidash are good examples, as they outrun any Shiftry without a Chlorophyll boost, so they are not risking a surprise Explosion. Toxicroak resists both STAB moves, although you should beware of Extrasensory and Hidden Power Fire. Muk can take hits from everything barring Extrasensory. Vileplume just shrugs off Leaf Storm, but repeated hits from Extrasensory and Hidden Power Fire / Ice will take their toll. Altaria and Honchkrow only fear Hidden Power Ice.
Click to expand...

1. Present continuous tense is a strange choice; I think "do not risk" instead.
2. "You" when referring to a Pokemon is also strange. Maybe "it".
3. Honchkrow isn't UU anymore.
 
The Electrode analysis page: http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/electrode

Static is an alternate ability that can paralyze an opposing Pokemon 30% of the time, as long as they hit Electrode with a contact move. This is highly situational, though, and therefore, Soundproof is much more useful, blocking out moves such as Roar, Perish Song, and the very dangerous Bug Buzz from Yanmega. Soundproof actually allows Electrode to serve as a pretty efficient check for any Yanmega set that doesn't run Hidden Power Ground, as it is immune to Bug Buzz and resists Air Slash. In return, Electrode can OHKO easily with a STAB Thunderbolt. You might be in luck against Speed Boost versions of Yanmega as well, since the foe might not have invested enough EVs in Speed to ensure outspeeding Electrode after a single boost.
Click to expand...

Yanmega isn't UU anymore (but man, I feel stupid for trying to Bug Buzz Electrode with Venomoth). Also I think there's an extra comma there (highlighted).
