This error message may get confusing for some people, so a more specific error like "(Pokemon) learns (move) at level x but is only level y." might help.

Done Don't show "(Pokemon) can't learn (move)" when the Pokemon isn't the required level to learn it

I decided to test this update a bit, and it doesn't appear to work correctly with Tradeback moves. Going off the second part of the screenshot, it's not an error for whether Pokemon don't learn moves at all, it's specifically tradebacks.
Ninetales absolutely does learn Hypnosis via Tradebacks, as evidenced here. This happens with any tradeback move; one example that shows this is a false negative for all of them is Surf Tauros, which can be learned at any point after transfer to Gen 2, as it's learned via HM. There is no logical reason as to why they "can't be transferred".
What should be said is something akin to this, like "Transfer from Gen 2 to 1";
(this should mention Pokemon XD as the "event", by the way)

/rbylearn allowtradeback, ninetales, hypnosis should do the job (for now, at least)e: also /rbylearn gen1outradeback, ninetales, hypnosis
