-* On page 8, the guide states that {{p|Wurmple}}'s evolution is affected by the time of day. However, Wurmple's evolution is based on its [[personality value]].
+* On page 8, the guide states that {{p|Wurmple}}'s evolution is affected by the time of day. However, each Wurmple's evolution is determined randomly, unrelated to time of day.
 ** Interestingly, in the Pokédex that the guide contains, the guide correctly states that Wurmple's evolutions are random on pages 120 and 121.
-** On the same page, the guide states that Pokémon in "Egg Group 0" cannot produce [[eggs]]. However, the table contains many Pokémon that are [[Gender unknown (Egg Group)|genderless]] but can breed with [[Ditto]].
+** On the same page, the guide states that Pokémon in "Egg Group 0" cannot produce {{pkmn|Egg}}s. However, the table contains many Pokémon that are {{egg|Gender unknown|gender unknown}} but can breed with {{P|Ditto}}.
 * On page 10, a tip states that breeding two of the same Pokémon will make the resulting Egg hatch faster. This only makes the eggs become available faster, and has no effect on hatching steps.
 * On page 19, the guide states that you can choose between the {{type|Water}} {{p|Mudkip}}, the ''{{type|Grass}}'' {{p|Torchic}}, or the ''{{type|Fire}}'' {{p|Treecko}}.
-* A note on page 29 states that none of the three starter Pokémon can learn {{m|Cut}} from HM01. However, Treecko can learn Cut via the HM.
+* On page 23, the guide states that Surskit can be found by surfing on [[Hoenn Route 102|Route 102]]. While this is technically true, this is only possible by [[Record mixing|mixing records]] with {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} which the guide does not state.
-* A tip on page 31 tells the reader to save a Premier Ball that is given to them in Rustboro, stating that this ''strong'' Poké Ball would be better off used on a rare Pokémon. The Premier Ball is no different from a normal Poké Ball in usage.
+** Additionally, the guide does not mention that {{p|Goldeen}} can be found via surfing. However, the guide does mention that Goldeen can be found via fishing.
-* On page 35, [[Brawly]]'s signature type is stated to be {{t|Flying}} and the recommended types are {{t|Fighting}} and {{t|Psychic}}.
+* On page 29, a note states that none of the three [[first partner Pokémon]] can learn {{m|Cut}} from [[HM01]]. However, Treecko and Torchic can learn Cut via the HM. Both of their learnsets on page 114 and 115 correctly list that they can learn Cut.
-** On the next page, his team overview shows that {{p|Meditite}} is pure Fighting. Meditite has the dual typing of Fighting and Psychic.
+* On page 31, a tip recommends saving a [[Premier Ball]] that is received in [[Rustboro City]], stating that this "strong" Poké Ball would be better off used on a rare Pokémon. The Premier Ball is no different from a normal {{i|Poké Ball}} in usage.
-* [[Wattson]]'s team on page 44 shows a {{p|Voltorb}} that is {{t|Electric}}/{{type|Steel}}. Voltorb is a pure Electric Pokémon.
+* On page 35, [[Brawly]]'s signature type is stated to be {{t|Flying}}, and the recommended types to use against him are {{t|Fighting}} and {{t|Psychic}}. Actually, Brawly's specialty type is Fighting, and the recommended types are Flying and Psychic.
-** This error is mentioned again on the same page. The guide states that Wattson has two Steel-types, yet he only has one: his {{p|Magneton}}.
+** On page 36, his team overview shows that {{p|Meditite}} is pure Fighting-type; Meditite is actually Fighting/Psychic-type.
-* On page 55, the maps of [[Meteor Falls]] are from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.
+* On page 44, [[Wattson]]'s {{p|Voltorb}} is listed as {{t|Electric}}/{{type|Steel}}; Voltorb is actually a pure Electric-type Pokémon.
-* [[Flannery]]'s team on page 59 shows a pure Fire-type {{p|Camerupt}}. Camerupt also has the {{type|Ground}}.
+** On the same page, the guide states that Wattson has two Steel types, but he only has one: his {{p|Magneton}}. This count presumably incorrectly includes Voltorb.
-* [[Juan]]'s team on page 87 contains a pure-Water {{p|Kingdra}}. Kingdra is part Water and {{type|Dragon}}.
+* On page 55, the maps of [[Meteor Falls]] are from {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}.
-* [[Glacia]]'s team on page 95 contains a Water and {{type|Ice}} {{p|Glalie}}. However, Glalie only has the Ice type. Interestingly, her first Glalie has the correct typing.
+* On page 59, [[Flannery]]'s {{p|Camerupt}} is listed as pure {{type|Fire}}; Camerupt is actually Fire/{{type|Ground}}.
-*The strategy for [[Wallace]] on page 96 states that all of his Pokémon are weak to Electric-type moves. His {{p|Whiscash}} is immune to Electric, and his {{p|Ludicolo}} takes neutral damage.
+* On page 87, [[Juan]]'s {{p|Kingdra}} is listed as pure {{type|Water}}; Kingdra is actually Water/{{type|Dragon}}.
+* On page 95, [[Glacia]]'s second {{p|Glalie}} is listed as Water/Ice-type; Glalie is actually a pure Ice-type Pokémon. Interestingly, her first Glalie has the correct type.
+* On page 96, a tip for defeating Drake is to use Electric-type moves on {{p|Salamence}} and {{p|Altaria}} on the basis that they are both Flying-types. However, this will only inflict neutral damage on them.
+* On page 96, [[Wallace]]'s {{p|Tentacruel}} is listed as Water-type; Tentacruel is actually Water/{{type|Poison}}.
+* On page 96, a tip for defeating Wallace states that all of his Pokémon are weak to Electric-type moves; however, his {{p|Whiscash}} is immune to Electric-type moves and his {{p|Ludicolo}} takes neutral damage from Electric-type moves.
 * On page 104, [[Steven's Metagross]] is listed as [[level]] 58 instead of level 78.
-* In the Pokédex starting on page 114, there are multiple errors.
+* In the Pokédex, which starts on page 114, there are multiple errors. Even though all stats listed are approximations out of 100 rather than their actual base stat values, some are listed as objectively wrong when properly compared.
-** Mudkip is stated to be Water and Ground, when in fact it is pure Water.
+** Mudkip is stated to be Water/Ground-type; Mudkip is actually pure Water-type.
-** {{p|Gyarados}} is stated to be weak against Grass. It is neutral to the type. No other Water/Flying types have this distinction.
+** {{p|Gyarados}} is stated to be weak to Grass-type moves; Gyarados actually takes neutral damage from them.
+** In page 140, {{p|Gyarados}} has its Defense listed as 66 and Special Defense as 60. Gyarados’s actual Defense is lower than its Special Defense at 79 and 100 respectively.
+** In page 151 for {{p|Meditite}} and page 152 for {{p|Medicham}}, their location is stated that they can only be obtained from Pokémon Ruby or [[Pokémon Colosseum]]. However, they are both available in Pokémon Sapphire as well.
