Dex Bug Report & Structural Changes Thread

[shiny finder]

Just noting there is a disconnect between the Greninja-Ash/Bond distinction and their sprites on the dex. greninja-ash links redirect to greninja-bond, but the sprite filename is still greninja-ash.gif, resulting in a broken image link.

see: https://www.smogon.com/dex/sv/pokemon/greninja-bond/bh/

Similarly for the minisprites. Given changes in the mechanics and the various format scopes I'm not sure if it makes more sense to use the standard Greninja sprite or the Ash one.

Why is missingno. In the game but in the competitive format?!

When hovering over the word "Speed" on a Pokemon's base stats in a Smogon Dex entry, it will display the final Speed stat for each set of a Pokemon. This is a useful feature. However, it does not properly interact with the fact that a Pokemon's set can have multiple EV spreads. In particular, it will only pull the first EV spread and use that to compute the displayed Speed stat. This produces undesired outcomes in two situations:

1. Pokemon with two EV spreads with a single nature - example is SV VGC Volcarona (https://www.smogon.com/dex/sv/pokemon/volcarona/vgc/)

When hovering over Volcarona's Speed in its VGC page, it only shows 131 Speed, which is the final Speed stat from the first EV spread (84 Speed EVs) but doesn't show that for the second EV spread (148 Speed EVs).

2. Pokemon with two EV spreads with two natures - example is DP Ubers Mixed Attacker Giratina-Origin (https://www.smogon.com/dex/dp/pokemon/giratina-origin/)

When hovering over Giratina-O's Speed in its Ubers page, it will display a final Speed stat for it using a Rash nature and one for it using a Naive nature. However, both natures pull from its first EV spread, and based on the set itself, the Naive nature is meant to correspond with the EV spread with 252 Speed EVs instead of the one with 60 Speed EVs.

Multiple monotype analyses for normal type teams say that cyclizar is good for normal type teams because of shed tail but the game pokemon showdown won't let you use cyclizars shed tail move. Even thought it is not a pokedex problem, I couldn't find where else to post problems about analyses. Example: https://www.smogon.com/dex/sv/pokemon/zoroark-hisui/monotype/ and scroll down to the choice specs (normal) section.

Someone pointed out to me an oddity in the XY movesets:
Gourgiest-Super has 4 moves, while Small and Large have no moves at all. There is a "Base" that does have a full movepool.
We also thought briefly that the Smeargle one was odd too, but no - events!

If you find a bug with the dex, post it here!

Make sure that what you post is a bug and not a complaint or feature request. Similarly, post any content errors in analyses in the small changes thread; this thread is intended for issues that not any badgeholder or staff member can fix.

Other things that are fine to be posted in this thread:
- Broken sprites / models;
- Broken links;
- Database errors (e.g. in Pokemon info like typings, abilities, and learnsets).

Be aware that the Dex is currently going through an overhaul, so things are actively being worked on, and certain issues are already being addressed as we speak.

Weather Ball, Skitter Smack, and Bug Bite are listed as illegal moves for Pokeball-Pattern Vivillon (they're available for the other forms). Pokeball Vivillon can learn all of these in-game by TM.

Vice Grip got reformatted to Vise Grip starting in Gen 8, but the Dex still uses the old spelling
