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 from physical to special, then back to physical again. This is due to the move being Normal-type in Generation I, Dark-type in Generation II and III, and classified as a physical move in Generation IV.
• If Secret Power is used in a cave in Generation III, it will have the same animation as Bite.
