While playing CC1v1, I noticed that the Water Stone is able to be held and rolled, yet the Potion doesn't even exist in PS despite having the same effect. In the current state of CC1v1, your chance of getting a (useless) item out of the item pool is dependent on an outside factor/human element, of whichever (useless) items were chosen to be added to the simulator over others that weren't. Adding all the (holdable) items would not be worth the time and effort, but it makes CC1v1 a more fair and complete format in the end.
EDIT (11/18/2019): An edit after the advent of Gen 8. It has introduced 6 new competitively relevant items (Eject Pack, Heavy Duty Boots, Throat spray, Room service, Blunder policy, Utility Umbrella [though not in PS at the moment]) as well as 11 useless items (7 sweets, 2 apples, and 2 pots). Since we still don't know how Pokemon Home's transferring mechanics will specifically work, based on historical evidence I will accept that some items will not be seeing the light of legality in Gen 8 (RIP Discount Coupon). Despite this inconvenience, I still maintain my suggestion for proper item representation. National items like the Ice Heal have been here since the beginning, and have been hold-able ever since GS, many others having perfect attendance or re-emerging in recent campaigns, but they are nowhere to be found in Pokemon Showdown. To get back on topic of this edit, I thank you develooers for keeping these humble items in mind in these stressful times and sparing a thought for them. Together we can make a start on a better tomorrow.
EDIT (2/8/2020): TRs are out and about; a hint of things to come.
