Bide Move Detail
Bide is a Normal-type move with a unique set of mechanics rather than a fixed power or accuracy. When a Pokémon uses Bide, it does nothing for two turns and then attacks on the third turn, dealing damage equal to double the amount of damage it received during the two-turn waiting period. Bide always hits unless the target is using moves like Fly, Dig, or similar moves during the attack turn. It also bypasses accuracy and evasion checks, making it a surefire hit. Despite its interesting mechanics, Bide is generally less common in competitive play due to its delayed action and the risk involved in taking damage over two turns. However, it can be a strategic move in certain situations, especially against opponents who heavily rely on high-damage attacks.
