+* It is possible for moves to become {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive at a World Championship format despite not being event-exclusive normally. For example, {{m|Bounce}} was an event-exclusive move on {{p|Gyarados}} in VGC 2017 only, as it otherwise needs a [[Move Tutor]] to learn Bounce and so could not have the [[black clover]] at the time.
+* While event-exclusive Pokémon, moves, and items have been disallowed, event-exclusive [[Hidden Abilities]] have always been allowed.
+* The first half of 2020 is the only time that non-event Pokémon have been disallowed because of rarity. Specifically, Gigantamax Pokémon that were rarely available normally in-game did not become allowed until the start of the first [[Wild Area News]] event that temporarily made them more common. This would become moot with the release of The Isle of Armor, which would make all relevant Gigantamax Pokémon available without relying on rarity.
+* Between approximately October 2020 and March 2021, the published rulebook mistakenly implied {{p|Regigigas}} was disallowed (by omitting its National Pokédex number from the list of allowed Pokémon that do not have a Galar/Isle of Armor/Crown Tundra Pokédex number).<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20201027152813/https://assets.pokemon.com//assets/cms2/pdf/play-pokemon/rules/play-pokemon-vg-rules-formats-and-penalty-guidelines-10232020-en.pdf</ref><ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20210126052431/https://assets.pokemon.com//assets/cms2/pdf/play-pokemon/rules/play-pokemon-vg-rules-formats-and-penalty-guidelines-01252021-en.pdf</ref><ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20210511201450/https://assets.pokemon.com/assets/cms2/pdf/play-pokemon/rules/play-pokemon-vg-rules-formats-and-penalty-guidelines-03292021-en.pdf</ref> This was fixed sometime on or before February 2022.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20220309173223/https://assets.pokemon.com//assets/cms2/pdf/play-pokemon/rules/play-pokemon-vg-rules-formats-and-penalty-guidelines-02152022-en.pdf</ref>
