In Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow, if the opposing Pokémon disables one of the user's Pokémon's moves, and then the user's Pokémon uses Transform, the move in the same slot will still be disabled even if it is a different move.

The second part of the video is a curiosity and not a glitch. Disable can disable a move at random. This includes moves after Transform before the turn has ended.

At least the first part of this curiosity was fixed in Pokémon Gold and Silver so that no move is disabled after transforming.

I reuploaded this video because the previous showed both Pound before and after transforming being disabled. This one shows Hypnosis being disabled after transforming after Pound was disabled.

Thanks to SnorlaxMonster for noting the second part may not be a glitch.

Thank you Snackhound for this curiosity. :)
