self explanatory, add another detail at the bottom of the /dt entry to show identically functioning abilities or moves.

support. fairly minor but i wouldnt call all of these identical. for example branch poke is contact while leafage isnt, and shadow shield ignores mold breaker etc. maybe some other word like “similar” or “comparable” would help for those?

also, i imagine you meant guillotine+horn drill instead of fissure+horn drill

updated, I didn't include moves such as whirlwind / roar and switcheroo / trick because of minor differences like that either (but it seems I missed some others)

I would also support essentially porting the lists on bulbapedia into PS as "variations", I tried limiting this specific suggestion to completely identical copies but having ice fang also pull up fire, thunder, and whatever other comparable fang moves wouldn't hurt either.

This seems much more like trivia than practical information to add. What advantage is there to this? It seems like it would just clutter the display for little gain.

This mainly has applications in OMs that expand movepools, specifically formats like Pure Hackmons where varying your healing moves is recommended to avoid imprison or Alphabet Cup where otherwise identical moves like Recover and Milk Drink get different distributions.

If adding to the dt would cause too much clutter, may I suggest a /variations command that would pull up the list of a move's variations?
