Although Pokémon Revolution Online‘s battle system is substantially developed, it’s still a work in progress. Some Abilities and moves remain unprogrammed, incompletely programmed, or misprogrammed; these are all categorized as broken.
When a move or ability in PRO does not function as intended, it is called a Broken Move or Broken Ability. Moves that deliberately lack the same functionality they have in the official games, such as Pay Day‘s money-yielding secondary effect, are not considered broken.
