The immediate advantages include greater endurance and longevity for a move before the consumption of {{DL|Ether|Max Elixir}}. The duplicate 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. Other aspects of a duplicate move occupying a separate slot involve the isolation from dungeon traps, which might {{m|disable}} a move, and powering a move up with {{DL|Health drink|Ginseng}}.

This feature is immediately granted and easily exploited with [[TM]] usage. For example, the use of {{m|Shock Wave}} twice on a Pokémon allows the Pokémon to use more than its original 8 PP of a move that has 100% {{stat|accuracy}}.

There are also [[wild Pokémon]] who have duplicate moves due to the move appearing twice in the Pokémon's level-up movepool. One example includes a few {{p|Pupitar}} in the [[Southern Cavern]] with two {{m|Sandstorm}} moves.

Several [[glitch Pokémon]] can have duplicate moves. For example, [[Missingno.]] has the move {{m|Water Gun}} twice, as well as {{m|Sky Attack}}, when encountered in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.
