You’ll find that big Pokemon do end up poking out of the boxes in their overview (ie Mega Salamance). Not an error :)

Castforms shinys for its Rain, Hail, and Sunny forms have technically been inaccurate for the last 5 years or so (since pokemon actually gave them shiny sprites). While I love the ones we have currently, they are now technically incorrect and should probably be updated.

In addition to this, I find that greninja's sprite is also pretty inaccurate. While I've given up on having the sprite design changed (though it is also inaccurate and SHOULD be changed), colors on the sprite are not correct.



Greninjas face, belly, webbing in this game are white whereas in the games, anime, TCG, etc. it is tan. The tongue also looks off but i cant tell if thats because of the white, the sprite itself, or the actual shade of pink itself

@RoyalGecko, it was decided to keep the unofficial ones by a poll from Riako(?).

Updated to include Greninjas face, belly, webbing colouration, will hold off on adding the Castform for now until it's confirmed or debunked regarding the poll.

Shiny Charcadet's eye colour is wrong.

It's supposed to be blue. Not yellow mixed with it.

i thought it was just a different colored one from the anime "special". xD

here are the Home sprites to compare to:

i made the limbs as dark as the face, the lil flame on the head more fitting and changed the blue. i guess the og spriter either made an error, or their source had an error. (example: shiny skrelp on serebii)

EDIT 2: I think I understand now from where the color errors come from. It's not a secret, we're using Smogon's/Showdown's sprites. (Nor is it forbidden "[...] these sprites are free for non-profit use.") Could it be the sprites are downloaded or screenshotted from gameplay?

This is the forum of said quote: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/smogon-sprite-project.3647722 | hyperlinked version

I found another forum using the same sprites: https://eeveeexpo.com/resources/1101 | hyperlinked version

So I was going through the Bug forum, cleaning up a bit, when I noticed that Altaria's sprite and Alolan Muk's shiny sprites were no longer listed.

Did I miss an update somewhere and can those reports be moved to 'resolved'?

Long post:
Show hidden content
Quote"Snowrex has no mini-sprite on the Rumble-Retrieve Notification."
Show hidden content
The reported issue is now fixed, as Calyrex's mini-sprite has been added.

The original issue was there being no sprite at all; but there is another issue related to the Pokedex issues linked on the first page - Snowrex now displays Calyrex's mini-sprite instead. All Pokemon with forms (Megas, item-changes, events, etc.) also have this issue - they display the base mini-sprite.

To clarify, this only applies to the Rumble Report Notification (in feeds), not the message upon retrieving on the Rumble Overview page (which displays the correct mini-sprite).



Quote"When winning a regional variant Pokémon at the Auction House the notification has the correct image on the left but the mini sprite shows the non regional form (example winning an Alolan Vulpix shows a mini sprite of Kantonian Vulpix.)"
Show hidden content
This is the same issue as the Pokedex/Rumble issue above, and also applies to all forms (megas, item-change, events, etc.) - all use base form's mini-sprite.

This also applies to Wonder Trade History notifications.



Quote"A few more issues listed here for Ogerpon, Regional Variant Pokemon and Pokeheroes specific Mega Pokemon."
Show hidden content
The Mega mini-sprites and Ogerpon's unmasked mini-sprite have been added. Also scrolled through the entire Userprofile Pokedex - now the only missing mini-sprite is Mecha Zekrom.

Regional variant issue (when Interacting) is same as the Pokedex/Rumble/Auction/WT issue.

The overall issue would be:
Forms of pokemon (such as Megas and Events) display their base form's mini-sprite in the following features: Home-tab Pokedex, Rumble Report notification, Auction outbid/lose/win/sold notifiction, Wonder Trade History notification, and the Train Pokemon button (individual page, as well as clicklists)



Quote"Pienda's sprite on the Pokedex (user profile) is either broken or missing, the spite in Storage boxes is also missing. (Home tab)"

Pienda's mini-sprite has been added.



Quote"A similar issue can be found for Bug-Hatching contest winners notification."
Show hidden content
This is actually a slightly different issue (to the Ho-Oh egg image). This is due to all images being migrated from "pokeheroes.com" to "staticpokeheroes.com". Looks like it was originally reported here. (here's the report I made).

In the BHC notification, the coded image links are outdated (i.e. not updated during the image migration), while with the Ho-Oh code notification, the image link was updated to 'staticpokeheroes', but Ho-Oh's egg image must have been either: not migrated properly, not manually uploaded, or accidentally removed.

The Ho-Oh egg image is now more related to the Koraidon/Miraidon issue. All 3 of them are currently missing egg artworks. (Which in Ho-Oh's case, affects the WT notification)



Quote"Tornadus's egg has different coloring when viewed at the Safari and in the user's party."
"Mr Bagon's shiny sprite color is inconsistent as documented here."
Show hidden content
This is the case for all Unova Forces of Nature eggs (regular/shiny sprites and Enamorus are fine):





This is also the case for most of the Mr and Van Bagon lines:










(can't spot any in this one, included if someone wants to check)




(bow tie shading)


(The megas are fine, as those were created later)

left is "bw_front", right is "img.php"

There might be differences with other older sprites as well.



Quote"All Alcremie sprites in the general Pokedex both normal and shiny are either broken or missing, the only exception is Alcremie (Ruby Swirl) which shows the Giga sprite instead."

Show hidden content
The mini-sprites are broken in the Home-tab Pokedex, Rumble Report Notification, Auction Notifications, WT History Notification, and when Interacting (for all 9 forms and the giga), because there is no base form sprite for Alcremie:
https://staticpokeheroes.com/img/pokemon/bw_field/869.png
Could be fixed by uploading the Vanilla sprite ( bw_field/869a.png) to the base form link (bw_field/869.png).

Alcremie's full size sprites are also broken within Battles (needs testing as to what's causing it - likely same as explanation below). They are not broken in most features, including: Party, Boxes, Rumble, Salon, GTS, Auctions, Battle Team - likely because those refer to a specific Pokemon's sprite, therefore having a sweet; not a general one (such as in the Pokedex)

Explanation for missing full-size Pokedex sprites:
For regular Alcremie, the sprite images use the code 0869, followed by the sweet's letter code (s, l, b, c, f, r, k), followed by a letter from a-i (e.g. 0869kc for Alcremie (Matcha) with Star Sweet)

For Shiny Alcremie, the sprite images use the code 1869, followed by the sweet's letter code (s, l, b, c, f, r, k) - there are no shiny sprites for each form; there's only 7 variations. (e.g. 1869s for Shiny Alcremie with Strawberry Sweet).

For the Giga, both the sprite image and Pokedex use the code 0869zg (1869zg for shinies) - no issues here.

The Giga has an alternative sprite image, using the codes 0869g and 1869g (relevant below).

The Pokedex uses the code 0869a to 0869i for regular forms, which means the images don't actually exist - thus displaying as broken. With the exception of Alcremie (Ruby Swirl), which has Pokedex code 0869g, displaying a Giga Alcremie instead.

For Shinies, the Pokedex uses the code 1869a to 1869i. This means that Alcremie (Ruby)'s Shiny - Pokedex code 1869b - displays the Shiny Berry sprite. Similarly with Shinies of Matcha and Salted - Shiny Clover (1869c) and Shiny Flower (1869f) are displayed respectively. Shiny Ruby Swirl displays a Shiny Giga Alcremie (1869g). The other 5 Shinies are broken.



The Solaris line's mini-sprites don't have a visible (dark-colour) border, so they blend in on the (profile) Pokedex page:
Quote from




There's a suggestion to fix Diancie's sprites here (reported in this thread here).

Guessing the mentioned remade sprites were created as a base for Diancie (Emera). There's currently a huge difference between the regular and Emeran forms, so there's more reason to implement this now.



EDIT 01/08/2025:
Fiestabray has no mini-sprite (in boxes and profile-dex).
