* '''TrapPass clause''': Another rule exclusive of the Generation II competitive play. A Pokémon can't have a move that traps the opponent permanently (such as {{m|Spider Web}}) and {{m|Baton Pass}} in the same moveset; however, it is allowed to use moves that only trap the opposing Pokémon for a limited time, like {{m|Wrap}}, with Baton Pass. This clause is notable for having been introduced 22 years after the first games of the second generation were released.[https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/gsc-ou-mean-look-spider-web-baton-pass.3704578/] | * '''TrapPass clause''': Another rule exclusive of the Generation II competitive play.
