Attack duplication is a feature in | Attack duplication is a special feature in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] games that allows for an attack to be learned several times by a [[Pokémon]], rather than only four different moves. | ||
In most games, it is well known that a Pokémon could only learn four moves at a time. Pokémon Mystery Dungeon still keeps this tradition but, you could learn the same moves numerous times usually peaking . | |||
The immediate advantages obviously permit greater endurance and longevity for a move before the consumption of a Max Elixir. The moves, however, are otherwise treated as separate moves (and thus occupy one of the four slots) rather than one single move with greater [[PP]]. Having a duplicate of a move also allows for a higher rate of usage of that particular attack, regardless of PP. It is logical to assume this because the artificial intelligence seems to randomly choose moves based on its range capacity. In other words, if a Pokémon is within range of a move (offensive, defensive, et al.) it will randomly select one from of the moves with the capacity to be used. Other aspects of a separate slot occupation involve its isolation from dungeon traps and in powering it up with a Ginseng . | The immediate advantages obviously permit greater endurance and longevity for a move before the consumption of a Max Elixir.

e.g. the use of {{m|Shock Wave}} twice on an {{t|Electric}}-type Pokémon. The logic for this is that {{m|Shock Wave}} in normal conditions never misses. However, it is limited in the Mystery Dungeon incarnation with 8 PP. | e.g. the use of {{m|Shock Wave}} twice on an {{t|Electric}}-type Pokémon.

For example, a {{p|Squirtle}} is raised until it learns {{m|Hydro Pump}}. After learning the move, it is evolved into a {{p|Wartortle}}. Said Wartortle is raised until it again learns a second Hydro Pump. And evolved a final time and raised for a third Hydro Pump. | For example, a {{p|Squirtle}} is raised until it learns {{m|Hydro Pump}}. After learning the move, it is evolved into a {{p|Wartortle}}.

Granted it would be useless regular RPGs, it makes for a good range attacker in Mystery Dungeon as both moves are powerful line based moves with naturally low PP. | ||

Moves cannot be duplicated in the Gulpin Link Shop. Once a non-TM move has been duplicated and deleted it cannot be learned again for the purpose of duplication unless the Pokémon naturally learns it again at higher level. It is also possible to link two similar moves to some redundant effects. | Moves cannot be duplicated while in the Gulpin Link Shop.
