If a Pokémon holding Choice Specs uses a move other than the one it's locked into (such as through {{m|Instruct}} or {{a|Dancer}}), the move will fail and no {{PP}} will be deducted.

Generation V to VI

From Generation V onward, if a Pokémon is already locked into a move due to held Choice Specs, if the held Choice Specs is removed while its effect is negated, the Pokémon will be affected by the Choice item lock glitch.

Generation VII

If a Pokémon holding Choice Specs uses a move other than the one it's locked into (such as through Instruct or Dancer), the move will fail and no PP will be deducted.

In Yū vs. Shin, Rival Showdown!!, Shin had given his Wailord Choice Specs to hold, allowing its powered-up Water Spout to defeat 's Heatran.
