Trivia

Bite is one of the four moves to have its type changed in Generation II, the others being Gust, Karate Chop, and Sand Attack. They were all Normal-type moves in Generation I.
- Bite is the only of these moves that changed to a type introduced in Generation II.
Bite is the only move to have its damage category change twice. This is due to the move being Normal-type (and therefore physical) in Generation I, Dark-type (and therefore special) in Generation II and III, and a physical move from Generation IV onward.
If Secret Power is used in a cave in Generation III, it will have the same animation as Bite.
