-For a portion of the first day of this round of the Wild Area News for April 28 to May 11, 2020, 1★ Drilbur raids originating from {{pkmn|Shield}} came with the illegal move {{m|Hydro Pump}}. The same raids for the rest of the event's duration, or from {{pkmn|Sword}}, come with the correct move, {{m|Scratch}}. Players who caught a Drilbur with Hydro Pump cannot trade or battle online with it unless that move is forgotten; after doing so, it cannot be relearned.
+For a portion of the first day of this round of the Wild Area News for April 28 to May 11, 2020, 1★ Drilbur raids originating from {{pkmn|Shield}} came with the illegal move {{m|Hydro Pump}}. The same raids for the rest of the event's duration, or from {{pkmn|Sword}}, came with the correct move, {{m|Scratch}}.
+The reason for this error was likely a typo, as [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Rotom|Wash Form]] {{p|Rotom}} appeared in the adjacent entry in Shield's version of the event data, with Drilbur receiving Hydro Pump instead of Rotom.
+In Shield, the move slots were assigned for 1★ raids in the following order:
+{| class="roundtable" style="margin: left; text-align: center; background: #{{shield color}}; border: 3px solid #{{shield color dark}}"
+! Pokémon || Move 1 || Move 2 || Move 3 || Move 4
+|-
+| {{MSP/HOME|0529|Drilbur}}{{p|Drilbur}} || {{m|Mud-Slap}} || {{m|Metal Claw}} || {{no}}<br>{{m|Hydro Pump}} || {{m|Hone Claws}}
+|-
+| {{MSP/HOME|0479W|Rotom}}{{p|Rotom}}<br><small>([[List of Pokémon with form differences#Rotom|Wash Form]])</small> || {{m|Double Team}} || style="background:#999" |<b>?</b><br>{{m|Discharge}} || {{m|Thunder Shock}} || {{m|Confuse Ray}}
+|}
+In Sword, the entry occupied by Wash Form Rotom was replaced with Heat Form Rotom instead, however Sword's version of the event data did not contain a similar error, with both Pokémon receiving correct movesets. The move slots were assigned for 1★ raids in the following order:
+{| class="roundtable" style="margin: left; text-align: center; background: #{{sword color}}; border: 3px solid #{{sword color dark}}"
+! Pokémon || Move 1 || Move 2 || Move 3 || Move 4
+|-
+| {{MSP/HOME|0529|Drilbur}}{{p|Drilbur}} || {{m|Mud-Slap}} || {{m|Metal Claw}} || {{yes}}<br>{{m|Scratch}} || {{m|Hone Claws}}
+|-
+| {{MSP/HOME|0479O|Rotom}}{{p|Rotom}}<br><small>([[List of Pokémon with form differences#Rotom|Heat Form]])</small> || {{m|Double Team}} || {{yes}}<br>{{m|Overheat}} || {{m|Thunder Shock}} || {{m|Confuse Ray}}
+|}
+Note that while {{m|Discharge}} is a valid move for Wash Form Rotom, Sword's counterpart Heat Form Rotom received {{m|Overheat}} instead. Additionally, in 2★ through 5★ raids in Shield, Wash Form Rotom had Hydro Pump in its moveset, and in 1★ through 5★ raids in Sword, Heat Form Rotom had Overheat in its moveset, this heavily implies that Hydro Pump was intended to be in 1★ Wash Form Rotom's moveset.
+Players who caught a Drilbur with Hydro Pump cannot trade or battle online with it unless that move is forgotten; after doing so, it cannot be relearned.
 These erroneous Drilbur otherwise function like other Drilbur, and can evolve into {{p|Excadrill}} with Hydro Pump. Additionally, while [[Dynamax]]ed, these Drilbur and Excadrill also have access to {{m|Max Geyser}}, which is typically unobtainable as neither can legitimately learn any {{t|Water}}-type attacks.
