Trivia

Errors

• At one point, the book describes Turtwig as being made from soil. Although it is true that Turtwig's shell is made of soil and it is possible that this was the statement intended, Turtwig are not actually made of soil.
• It states that Glalie evolves into Froslass. Both Pokémon actually evolve from Snorunt. Glalie evolves from Snorunt at level 42, and Froslass evolves from female Snorunt when exposed to a Dawn Stone.
