Pokédex/Attackdex Errors

Don't be daft
Pokémon like Bellossom, Politoed, Slowking, Steelix, etc. can now obtain Gen 1 TM transfer only moves from their pre-evolution. Bellossom can learn Reflect, Politoed can learn Psywave etc.

Hey, I'm new here so I'm not sure if this is an error or I'm just confused, but for the gen 1 attack dex entry for body slam, the description says that there's a 1 in 3 chance for a pokemon to be paralyzed, but the effect rate says 10 percent.

Same thing for the gen 1 entry for acid and lowering defense. A one-in-three chance for the description but a 10 percent in the effect rate box.

This may not be a mistake, but if not, I'm curious as to which is the actual effect rate, because those two sections seem to be conflicting and are a bit confusing. If anybody has some information on this could you let me know?

"Cannot run during Mean Look or Block or when the opponent is trapping with the Arena Trap, Magnet Pull, or Shadow Tag ability."

I thought that was kind of the whole point of Runaway, yeah? Bulbapedia is saying that it should escape Mean Look. (I'd test it but am in the middle of an SOS chain. Will come back with an edit after testing it myself.)

Another error. Look at any Gen III Pokedex entry, such as Haunter's: serebii DOT net/pokedex-rs/093.shtml If you go to location, you'll notice there is no detailed link. There is a detailed link in the Gen I entry, serebii DOT net/pokedex/093.shtml which has a link to serebii DOT net/pokedex/location/093.shtml. If you manipulate the URL, you can get to serebii DOT net/pokedex-rs/location/093.shtml, which should be a link somewhere on the page of the Gen III dex entries.

Wishiwashi's School form size and mass is missing. School forme is 8.2 m / 26'11" and has a mass of 78.6 kg / 173.3 lbs

Minior's Shields down form mass is missing as well. It has the same size as the 'Shields up' form of 0.3 m / 1ft but it has a mass of 0.3 kg / 0.7 lbs

Zygarde's mass is wrong, it doesn't match the mass of any of its forms. I only have the English Zygarde in my in-game pokédex but it should be:

10% form: 3'11" 73.9lbs
50% form: 16'05" 672.4lbs
100% form: 14'09" 1344.8lbs

yes Zygarde 50% is larger than Zygarde 100%

Greetings,

In the GSC Pokedex, Slowbro has listed under Move Tutor that it can learn Thunderbolt when it doesn't and doesn't have Ice Beam which it does.

Error: Missing Transfer only Move for Dialga and Palkia: Heal Block. Both learn Heal Block at level 50 in Diamond and Pearl only.

Also may I ask why serebii doesn't show Pokémon XD transfer only moves in the SM entries?
For example Fake Out, Zap Cannon, Night Shade and Hypnosis are XD tutor moves for Mew, Refresh Metagross, Helping Hand Rhydon or Baton Pass Zapdos?
I mean, Nightmare is listed as a XD tutor move for Shedinja, while in Mew's page is not.
There so many inconsistencies with transfer moves like that. I can make a detailed list if you want.
Some of those are really useful moves and are obtained in-game, I don't know why serebii doesn't list them.
And why if I click "details" in the Transfer-only Moves Section it always redirects me to the XY entry page of the mon instead of a real details page?

Possible error in the Lets Go Pikachu/Eevee Dex - I caught a level 45 Tentacool with perfect IVs and it's CP was much lower than what the website said here (1255 instead of 1350) - https://www.serebii.net/pokedex-sm/072.shtml

Makes me wonder if the calculation is wrong for every pokemon there

edit: So I'm going to go ahead and assume that there's no error here, but that the CP values also take into account something non-IV related, like Nature.

So while there isn't really an error, it's only listing the max for 1 specific nature I guess?
