A Pokémon only receives the same-type attack bonus on the current type of the move, not its listed type. For example, if the user's type matches their {{m|Hidden Power}} type, they do receive same-type attack bonus; however, since a Normal-type Hidden Power is not possible, a pure Normal-type Pokémon cannot receive the same-type attack bonus for Hidden Power. The same is also true for {{type|Fairy}}.

If {{a|Protean}} or {{a|Libero}} is activated before a move's execution, the user will always receive a same-type attack bonus on every move used, regardless of the move's type. {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Silvally}} and {{p|Oricorio}} always get the boost from {{m|Judgment}}, {{m|Multi-Attack}} and {{m|Revelation Dance}} without outside type modifications respectively because they change type on the same conditions as their signature moves. {{p|Morpeko|Morpeko's}} move {{m|Aura Wheel}} also always gets the boost because it changes type between both of this Pokémon. {{p|Skitty}} or {{p|Delcatty}} with {{a|Normalize}} will get boost with any damage dealing move.

Although {{m|Flying Press}} changes its power to work like a {{t|Fighting}} and {{t|Flying}}-type move, only Fighting-type Pokémon get STAB from using it. That's why Pokémon which have both of these types like {{p|Hawlucha}} get the STAB only once.
