Bite Competitive Analysis

Bite is a solid move with its base 60 power and the additional 30% chance to make the target flinch.

However, we suggest considering other Dark-type moves such as Crunch, Knock Off, or Darkest Lariat if available. These moves offer more damage and better utility compared to Bite.

Bite Locations

Bite can only be learned Egg Move, Level Up, or by Default.
