In generation 3 The ability Trace can copy both Trace and Forecast giving the Pokemon a useless ability. Currently with PS mechanics this is not the case as shown by both replays below.

Porygon should be able to trace both Forecast and Trace.
EDIT: This was fixed in generation 4 onwards iirc but according to gen 3 cart mechs it should still work
