Trivia

Errors

• In the "What is Evolution?" section, it states that "there are some [Pokémon] that evolve once, twice, or more!". However, with the exception of Mega Evolution, no Pokémon evolves more than twice.
  • It is unclear whether the book considers Mega Evolution as an Evolution. It states that Sableye "can Mega Evolve, but do not have any Evolutions.", yet Mega Venusaur is considered Bulbasaur's "mega, final Evolution".
• In the "Pokémon Eggs" section, it states that many baby Pokémon "require max friendship to evolve". In reality, friendship Evolution only requires high friendship, not max.
• The "Males and Females" section describes the branched evolutionary lines of Kirlia and Snorunt. While it correctly identifies Gallade and Froslass as gender-based Evolutions, it states that Gardevoir evolves from a female Kirlia and Glalie evolves from a male Snorunt. In reality, Kirlia and Snorunt of either gender can evolve into Gardevoir and Glalie, respectively.
• In the "Changing types" section, it states that Johtonian Corsola can evolve into Cursola, which is not true; only Galarian Corsola can evolve.
• In the "Regional Evolutions" section, it states that "Most regional Evolutions also gain another type". In truth, the majority of evolved Pokémon that are regional variants or evolve from regional variants do not change type.
• Hitmonchan's name is not centered in its label.
• Alcremie is said to have 70 forms when it only has 63.
• Vast Poni Canyon is referred to as simply "Poni Canyon".
