Oval Charm's description currently reads "An oval charm said to decrease the amount of time spent waiting to breed Pokémonémon again at the Day Care."
It should be fixed to read "An oval charm said to decrease the amount of time spent waiting to breed Pokémon again at the Day Care."

I've seen other spelling/grammar mistakes as well in various Pokémon descriptions, but I don't remember which ones. If I come across them I'll post them to this thread. If anyone else finds them, please mention them here as well :)

I found another two!

For Zubat's description, it currently reads: "While living in itchblack caverns their eyes gradually grew shut and deprived them of vision. They use ultrasonic waves to detect obstacles."
It should probably be changed to: "While living in pitchblack caverns their eyes gradually grew shut and deprived them of vision. They use ultrasonic waves to detect obstacles.

For Golbat's description, it currently reads: "However hard its victims hide may be it punctures with sharp fangs and gorges itself with blood."
This needs to be clarified a bit: "However hard its victim's hide may be, it punctures with sharp fangs and gorges itself with blood."

Haha I misspelled crap. I don't even do the descriptions for most of these so at least I'm out of the heat. Thanks though!

Found 3 more:

This evolution item is called the Satchet, but in its description it's called the Sachet. Sachet is the correct spelling.

Mesprit's description currently reads: Known as The Being of Emotion. It taught humans the nobility of sorrow pain and joy.
It needs some commas to be correct: Known as The Being of Emotion. It taught humans the nobility of sorrow, pain, and joy.
image_2022-04-01_154148.png
Aerodactyl's description currently reads: A ferocious prehistoric Pokémon that goes for the enemys throat with its serrated sawlike fangs.
The "enemys" needs an apostrophe: A ferocious prehistoric Pokémon that goes for the enemy's throat with its serrated sawlike fangs.

@LinneaBorealis also if serrated and sawlike are being used as adjectives there is supposed to be a comma in that Pokedex entry "serrated, sawlike fangs"
