:When Blau Salon first rolled out, the person who was editing the page was putting "repeat" for all of those stages. Since that was inaccurate, I changed it to the clunkier 'second stage' thing. That said, I don't think it's necessary, and I feel like it just takes up space. It's true that PSBs have only appeared on stages where the Pokemon has been available before, and that is the case for all of the ones that have appeared in the Main Stages, but the Special Stages are more on a case-by-case basis (though the first appearance of a Pokemon there has never had obtainable PSBs). For example, Zygarde Complete had its 2nd run pretty recently, but no PSBs could drop then. However, it's now currently on its 3rd run, where PSBs ''can'' drop. Unusual formats like Escalation Battles and Safaris also seem to do their own thing and do not offer PSBs. As for the Special Stages not mentioning repeats, there should be a tooltip mentioning the first date where PSBs became available for each of those stages.

::Excuse me, Violet, but I could see that line being useful: For example, suppose I wanna catch 'em all, I can just search for that line to see what new stages I needn't waste time/money/balls on; or where I could just head over to an easier stage for a catch if I find that stage too hard!? I mean, it's not like it's your fault that it takes up space and sounds clunky, and I could imagine that's a comparatively minor drawback!?

:::I can see where you're coming from, but it seems like there could be a better solution than just including it in the Notes column for each one. It seemed like Tiddlywinks noticed that this 'less notable' detail was always paired with the PSB note and was trying to figure out if there was a common thread so that we could cut down on size/repetition. I think a decent compromise could be to mention in the intro of those pages that all (or all but Duskull/Dusclops in Graucus Hall) stages that can drop personalized Skill Boosters feature Pokemon that were in an earlier Main Stage.
