Dig/Fly invulnerability should be added, but it's probably worth clausing in standard play anyway for the same reasons OHKO moves are banned.

Gen4:
When you choose the move explosion, but the opponent dies prior to it (either through switching + entry hazards, recoil damage or a self sacrificing move). Then (on PS currently) the move explosion fails and you survive.
This shouldn't happen, if there is no target the explosion should still fire off and the exploder should die.
As they always have been, Rotom forms are being allowed without their signature moves. Despite this being impossible on the DS as once a Rotom form looses it's signature move it reverts back to it's original form.

Yeah, Roar has the wrong mechanics at the moment in GSC. I got my -1 CurseTar Roared out by a -0 Golem. Since phazing duels come up a ton in GSC this is kinda a big deal.
I suspect that this is because it's not recognising that RBY-GSC trades can work both ways. See, to get both those moves on a GSC Snorlax, you had to get a Snorlax on your GSC game from the NYPC event, trade it back to RBY, teach it Double-Edge with a TM, and then trade it forward to GSC again.
In any case, the only move combinations that are illegal in GSC are these:
1) Event move + either a breeding move or an event move from a different event.
2) Two breeding moves that cannot both have been on the same father.
3) An event move or breeding move that didn't exist in RBY + a move only learned via RBY TM.
3) is the one that causes headaches. It doesn't show up much because the main moves new to GSC (as far as the meta's concerned) were Curse, Hidden Power, and Sleep Talk; all TM moves that could be taught after trading something to RBY and back. The main situations where it does come up in OU are on:
- Chansey (as Blissey), which learns Heal Bell via breeding.
- Eevee (as any of the GSC Eeveelutions, but in particular Umbreon), which learns Charm via breeding.
- Shellder (as Cloyster), which learns Rapid Spin via breeding.
Not quiiiite accurate, the most precise way of stating it is a event/breeding move in RBY + a move only learned by tradeback to RBY. For example, Snorlax needs to be traded to RBY to get Double-Edge, but he can get it either by RBY TM OR RBY level-up.
(2) is also tricky. Sometimes it's not just two breeding moves that are illegal together, sometimes there's a love triangle of three breeding moves where any two of them are legal but all three are not.
False. You can have a Rotom Forme without it's signature move.
Source: I just tested this.
Oh, and GSC Low Kick is bugged. It didn't start depending on weight until Gen III - the Smogon article is wrong.
Hmm, has Blizzard's 90% accuracy in Gen 1 been implemented correctly? I just saw Blizzard miss 3 times out of 4, so I figured I'd at least ask the question.
EDIT: Multi-hit moves in RBY always deal exactly the same damage on every hit, and critting is only checked once for the whole move. This isn't currently implemented; I saw Double Kick crit one hit and fail to crit the other.

But it did different amounts of damage on the two hits.
Well, I dunno. I tried to replicate it, but Showdown doesn't let you log on with two different handles at the same time. In any case, IIRC it was a Jolteon Double Kicking Chansey or Rhydon.
I don't really want to be circumventing rules on something that I don't want to be banned from.
As a PS admin I can tell you that's not against rules unless you use two accounts to gain advantage in ladder. You can also use two different browsers.
i know this is not really thread related, but do the few points you would get from battling your own alts really pay off? you would have to create an alt with a good rating just to significantly raise your rating on another account. Do people do such things?
Edit: i also noticed from playing (dead ass gen 1-4) on showdown that you can't battle someone twice in a row in a rated battle
Well, I did the trick with two browsers, and I found the following:
(104 vs. 105 damage)
and likewise:
(39 vs. 40 damage)
But I can't seem to replicate the weird crit behaviour that I seemed to observe earlier. :/

Oh, also someone used Hi Jump Kick on me in RBY, and they took 1% damage when they missed. Pretty sure that shouldn't happen.
No that's legit.
As for your weird glitch, perhaps take a screen shot next time it happens if it doesn't replicate?
Yeah, please, be sure you're reporting an actual bug. It's a headache for me otherwise.
I'm going to check the multihit thing asap, but it's not priority until gen 2 is more in shape and gen 3 is playable.
