Some moves have the lowest possible PP*, which is 5 PP without PP Ups. For example, there is Close Combat, Fire Blast, Sucker Punch and some good moves. The thing is, a lot of those moves are good moves, so of course you might want to find some use for them.
However there is the dilemma of that move running out of uses fast, and you might have more than one battle without the aid of the Pokemon Centre. Another thing is, PP restoring items are not for sale. The closest you can get to consistently restocking these is the Leppa Berry, which as a Berry, can be regrown for more.
Personally, when it comes to in-game stuff, I tend to avoid moves with 5 PP because it runs out of uses really quickly (which can be a disadvantage in the Elite Four), and there is not a situation where they are generally preferable to other moves with more PP, such as Flamethrower's higher PP count compared to Fire Blast.
Question time: in-game wise, do you use moves with 5 PP?
Thanks for reading.
*Technically, Sketch is a 1 PP move, but since only one Pokemon can learn it and is not permanent, it doesn't count.
