We're always flattered that the Pokémon community finds Bulbapedia helpful; however, we occasionally see misunderstandings about who we are and how we operate.
To help clear up some of the common inquiries we've seen, we've worked up a thread of Frequently Asked Questions:
Today is the 6th anniversary of The Crown Tundra, first released worldwide as the second part of the Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass on October 23, 2020!
This DLC introduced the first ever regional forms of Legendary Pokémon, as well as two new Legendary Giants!

We’re back!
Thank you for your patience on this; as you may have gathered from the news about other major sites, this was an important security fix we had to make.
We hope to be serving the Pokémon community for decades to come!

The entire Bulbagarden site - including Bulbapedia - will be down for a few hours as we make some critical security updates.
We'll expect we'll be back up and running within the day.
