Mistakes on Serebii.net V2

I am not that far into the games yet nor have I caught any Galarian Pokémon to know which ones got new classifications but Ponyta’s Pokédex page still calls it the Fire Horse Pokémon for both forms when it has been known since its reveal as Unique Horn Pokémon. By extension Rapidash should also have a similar classification but it’s entry calls it the Fire Horse still.

Fear the Deer

The Outlaw
Considering the models were up on the dex the other day for them, I'm assuming this is an error--

Error: Some Galar Pokemon in the SwSh Pokedex section have their sprite icons under the 'picture' where their in-game model would be.(The Shiny variations are still there though) Linking to Corviknight's page for example.

This is some old stuff so hopefully it gets fixed soon.

Error: Transform mechanics
Link: https://www.serebii.net/games/transform.shtml

When a Ditto uses Transform, the game still regards it as a Ditto in terms of species. Even if you had a Ditto hold a Light Ball prior to transforming into a Pikachu, the Light Ball WILL NOT WORK. It will only work on a real Pikachu. Same goes for all Pokémon specific stat boosting items (Stick/Leek, Thick Club, etc.), including the Eviolite. Another caveat to this is that the Metal Powder and Quick Powder will no longer work while Ditto is transformed which doesn't make any sense to me, but that's how it works. I guess they're only good for the first turn if you're trying to out speed your opponent with the Quick Powder or at least try to take that first hit better with the Metal Powder before you get to pop off that Transform.

Error: Attract mechanics
Link: https://www.serebii.net/games/gender.shtml

While it's true both Mew and Cryogonal can learn Attract, it's incorrect that they can inflict the Infatuated status on Genderless Pokémon. This is a common misconception that has never been true.

Error: Torchic gender differences
Link: https://www.serebii.net/games/gender.shtml, https://www.serebii.net/diamondpearl/gender.shtml, https://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/genderdifference.shtml

This one is a doozie! Torchic's gender difference is incorrectly stated as the female having a speck on its butt on the first link page (gender) when in fact it's on the male. And the gender difference isn't even listed on the other linked pages (diamondpearl/blackwhite) at all even though its evolutions are listed just fine.

Hope this helped!

The link to the synopsis of today’s episode leads to last week’s episode about Pikachu’s life before meeting Ash.

TM Location Error: TM75 has its location wrong. It is not found on Axew's Eye, it is found in Bridge Field (the location description is correct however). TM95 is the TM that can be found on Axew's Eye (its Pokéarth page needs to be corrected too).

EDIT:
Broken Link Error: The link to the Terrain Game Mechanic page under the SwSh section on the home page is broken. The link contains a typo ("terrains" vs "terrain")
