The type of the move when it is used is used to determine whether it receives the bonus, not its listed type. For example, if a Fire-type Pokémon uses {{m|Weather Ball}} during [[intense sunlight]] (so that the move becomes Fire-type), it will receive the bonus; however, if a pure Normal-type Pokémon uses Weather Ball during intense sunlight, it will not receive the bonus, despite Weather Ball being listed as a Normal-type move. {{m|Flying Press}} is a {{type|Fighting}} move, not a {{type|Flying}} move, despite using the type effectiveness of both types.

Pledge combination moves (two different moves from among {{m|Grass Pledge}}, {{m|Fire Pledge}}, or {{m|Water Pledge}} performed by the same team on the same turn) always receive the bonus, even if neither of the performers shares a type with either half of the move combination (for example, a Silvally with Grass Pledge and a Smeargle with Water Pledge).
