* '''Evasion clause''': {{m|Double Team}} and {{m|Minimize}} are banned.

* '''Semi Invincibility clause''': Only used in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow when the moves [[Dig]] and [[Fly]] are allowed. If a Pokémon gets stuck during the Semi Invincibility phase of the moves Dig or Fly, its next successful action must be Dig, Fly or Switch. If the next successful action is none of the ones mentioned before, the Pokemon's player loses the game.

*'''Tradebacks clause''': Only used in the [[Generation I]] games. Players can't use Pokémon or moves that are only obtainable with the [[Generation II]] games, e.g. a level 20 [[Tauros]] in the [[Pika Cup]], a level 26 [[Koffing]] in the [[Petit Cup]] or a level 100 [[Mewtwo]] with [[Flamethrower]] in the [[Prime Cup]]. Curiously the rule doesn't ban Pokémon with maximum [[Individual values|DVs]] or [[Effort values|Stat Experience]], this is because players prefer to use Pokémon with maximum statistics in Gen I matches (e.g. it is allowed to use a level 20 [[Chansey]] with max stats in the Pika Cup or a level 100 [[Exeggutor]] with max stats in the Prime Cup). Tradeback Pokémon and moves can be allowed only if the players and/or the tournament organizers agree to it. | *'''Tradebacks clause''': Only used in the [[Generation I]] games.

* '''Sleep trapping clause''': Followed mainly in [[Generation II]] competitive play, {{status|sleep}}-inducing moves cannot be used in conjunction with moves that trap the opposing Pokémon permanently such as {{m|Mean Look}}; however, it is allowed to use Sleep inducing moves in conjunction with moves that only trap the opposing Pokémon for a limited time like {{m|Whirlpool}}. | * '''Sleep trapping clause''': Followed mainly in [[Generation II]] competitive play, {{status|sleep}}-inducing moves cannot be used in conjunction with moves that trap the opposing Pokémon permanently such as {{m|Mean Look}}; however, it is allowed to use Sleep inducing moves in conjunction with moves that only trap the opposing Pokémon for a limited time like {{m|Whirlpool}}. | ||
*'''Mean pass 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/] | |||
