Trivia

• Carnivine's entry states: "Its mouth waters right before it takes a big bite!". However, this fact has not been provided in any other medium, similar to facts from The Complete Pokémon Pocket Guide.
• Riolu's entry states: "It uses its Aura to tell you how it's feeling." This would suggest that Riolu is capable of speaking with humans telepathically, which it has not been shown to be able to do.

Errors

• Beautifly's entry says that "They uses their long, thin mouths to drink flowers' tasty pollen". Not only is there a grammar mistake of "uses", but also that pollen, as a powder, cannot be drank; there could have been confusion with nectar.
• It is stated in the book that Team Rocket's Meowth is the only known talking Pokémon; this is incorrect.
  • Even if it was meant to convey that it was the only known Pokémon capable of non-telepathic speech, this is also incorrect due to the Slowking appearing in The Power of One, along with a few others.
• On Shaymin's entry, Gracidea flowers are misspelled as "Gracedia".
