* In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, there is a [[Trainer Tips]] sign in [[Celadon City]] that states Guard Specs. decrease damage taken by Special attacks. This is incorrect, as Guard Specs. protect a Pokémon from having its stats lowered.

** Interestingly, the item's description in the [https://tcrf.net/Proto:Pok%C3%A9mon_Gold_and_Silver/Items leaked beta version of Gold and Silver] states that it increases Special Defense, which would make the sign retroactively correct. The item's actual effect in the beta, however, is still the same as in the officially released versions of the games.
