    Three (3) typos.

    In the Reffing Encyclopedia's Misty Terrain definition (under Terrains, not list of moves) it says: "Nature Power becomes Moon Blast."

    In URPG Rules under After Hours, it says: "No God-Modding or bunnying other poeples’ characters."

    (h/t Gray) In RSE Move List's Acid Spray definition, it just says: "tles all Pokemon that appealed before the user."

    On Refpedia, in the section about Double Battles, there's this text:

    "Each Pokemon is able to target any other Pokemon on the field, including its own ally. However, there are moves that affect multiple Pokemon at once. These moves can be found by clicking here."

    However, there's no link.

    Judging Encyclopedia | URPG Infohub

    Earnings and Ribbons section on the judgepedia is messed up; it links to the List of Judges bec of errors in alignment or however you call that

    Additionally the Judge list seems to be suffering from alignment errors too. Those having passed the Judge Quiz is also out of date. Dash and Phagocyte should be in it, and Gray + julio should be moved to Active Judges. Voltaire Magneton and Elrond should also be included in Active Judges.

    Aurora Veil | Ice | n/a | n/a | 20 | Status | P | Sn |
    Halves the amount of damage from all attacks for 5 turns. This move stacks with Reflect and Light Screen. Aurora Veil’s effect remains even after Hail has ended. Cannot be used if Hail is in play but negated.
    Z-Aurora Veil: Gain SPEED +1.

    needs to be updated with it's double effects.

    Added the following to Aurora Veil's definition, to match Reflect and Light Screen: "In Double Battles, damage is 2/3 reduced and affects both User and Ally. Aurora Veil can be broken by Brick Break. Critical Hits ignore Aurora Veil."

    Working on this. The HTML is weird on this page. edit: fixed

    Should probably add that to reflect and light screen as well if it isn't already. Psychic Fangs also breaks them and Defog clears them as well.

    Updated Reflect, Light Screen, Aurora Veil and Psychic Fangs to account for this.

    I think we should be really clear with the language on these. It should say "damage is reduced by 1/3" or "damage is reduced to 2/3." Saying "damage is 2/3 reduced" will make people think that it's reduced by 2/3, which is wrong.

    Good point, thanks for pointing that out. There's a lot of similar instances through the refpedia, especially with the older moves -- let me know if you ever come along any others that you think could be clarified!

    On the description for Spore, it should be stated that at doesn't affect Grass-types. It was an issue an opponent of mine faced yesterday when trying to put my Parasect to sleep.

    From the grader encyclopedia:

    Pokémon (and with an acute accent :p ) get what? Maybe there should have been three periods, because the sentence is incomplete.

    "Pokemon get" is a joke. It means you catch the Pokemon. It's how it's phrased in the Japanese anime.

    Berserk Gene confuses the user for 256 turns, not the normal duration.

    If this is true we're not implementing it. I'm not gonna force refs to count turns and it just gets very messy.

    So this was just a matter of things not looking clear. When Swift said that he meant the turn limit of the con being there. So unless I'm wrong now (in which case another senior ref or such point it out and laugh at me) Berserk Gene will cause permanent confusion as the likely hood of a mon being out there for 256 turns is non existent.
