Why do I initially hate low PP moves?

100 power (Edge) vs 75 power (Slide) vs 60 power (Tomb)
Who cares about PP when you'll (Generally) only get to use 2 moves after a Stealth Rock, anyway?

Wait, who set the Stealth Rock?
Brynhildr holds an Assault Vest, which doubles the Spe.Defense stat while inhibiting the use of Status Moves. I need another Physical Move.

Also, it the PP Up frowned upon?

I thought you were the one who was training the Stealth Rock Mamoswine. *Shrugs*

And it's not. I'm just saying that an attack with a PP of 5 really doesn't hinder it unless you're against a Pressure user.

I was. But I have, like 4 other Swinubs with Stealth Rock, Ancient Power, and Icicle Crash. All named after figures in Norse Mythology!
Brynhildr was going to hold a Life Orb originally, but then the Assault Vest happened and the prospect of her Special Defence of 60 getting doubled? Screw Entry Hazard setting!

So do you use PP Up?

Nope.
I try to keep a revolving door of Pokemon so that teams don't get stale and battling me is almost always different.

There were Pokemon that could make good use of them, but I don't use them enough to justify getting it.

Training up a new Mega Pokemon. Its identity will be concealed until it's ready.

[Matrixbeast]

I'm thinking of training up a Dusclops, but I have no motivation to do so.

[losondro]

My mega is finally finished!

What would be a less than popular Pokemon to train up?
