* Due to a typohttps://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1647448935768653824 in the spawner data in , where the area IDs were entered as "1,4.5,7" instead of "1,4,5,7", Surskit has spawner data for South Province Areas Two and Four, (area IDs 4 & 5), but will only spawn in Areas One and Five, (area IDs 1 & 7). No location in Paldea corresponds to the ID value "4.5".
** This was partially fixed in Version 3.0.0+, as it now properly spawns in South Province (Area Two).
