'''Bug Bite''' (Japanese: '''むしくい''' ''Bug Bite'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Bug}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. It is [[TM182]] in [[Generation IX]].


==Effect==
==Effect==
Bug Bite inflicts damage and if the target is holding a [[Berry]], the Base Power will be doubled to 120. The user will then eat the target's Berry and gain its effect.
Bug Bite inflicts damage. If the target is holding a [[Berry]], the user will eat the Berry and gain its effect. Bug Bite will not eat the target's Berry if it hits its {{OBP|substitute|doll}}. Bug Bite will not consume the Berry of a target that has the Ability {{a|Sticky Hold}}.
 
The effect of a {{b|Tanga}} Berry will activate before the Berry can be stolen. Berries like {{b|Liechi}} or {{b|Sitrus}} Berries will be eaten by the attacker, regardless of them meeting their consumption requirement upon taking damage from Bug Bite.
 
===Generation IV===
If the user has the Ability {{a|Klutz}} or is affected by {{m|Embargo}}, it will consume the target's held Berry without gaining its effect. Bug Bite will eat the target's {{b|Jaboca}} Berry before the Berry can activate.
 
===Generation V onwards===
The user will now receive the effects of the target's held Berry even if it has the Ability {{a|Klutz}} or is affected by {{m|Embargo}}. The effect of a {{b|Jaboca}} Berry will now activate before the Berry can be stolen.
 
Bug Bite will fail when used in a [[Max Raid Battle]].

Bug Bite (Japanese: むしくい Bug Bite) is a damage-dealing Bug-type move introduced in Generation IV. It is TM182 in Generation IX.

Effect

Bug Bite inflicts damage. If the target is holding a Berry, the user will eat the Berry and gain its effect. Bug Bite will not eat the target's Berry if it hits its substitute. Bug Bite will not consume the Berry of a target that has the Ability Sticky Hold.

The effect of a Tanga Berry will activate before the Berry can be stolen. Berries like Liechi or Sitrus Berries will be eaten by the attacker, regardless of them meeting their consumption requirement upon taking damage from Bug Bite.

Generation IV

If the user has the Ability Klutz or is affected by Embargo, it will consume the target's held Berry without gaining its effect. Bug Bite will eat the target's Jaboca Berry before the Berry can activate.

Generation V onwards

The user will now receive the effects of the target's held Berry even if it has the Ability Klutz or is affected by Embargo. The effect of a Jaboca Berry will now activate before the Berry can be stolen.

Bug Bite will fail when used in a Max Raid Battle.
