Eri: Eridanus

The remaining 31 constellations are largely in the Southern Hemisphere:
  • The name ★Cen551 appears to be a mistake, since HR 551 is not located in Centaurus, but Andromeda. As stars in Centaurus fall in the range of HR 4318–HR 5587, the intended star may have been HR 5519.
  • ★And337 previously contained data for a Max Raid Battle with a Gigantamax Butterfree, but was changed prior to its distribution.
