Super Fang (Japanese: いかりのまえば Fangs of Wrath) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation I. Prior to Generation IV, it was one of the signature moves of Rattata and Raticate.

Effect

Generation I

Super Fang does damage equal to 50% of the target's current HP. It always deals at least 1 HP of damage.

It will hit Ghost-type Pokémon, even though the type has immunity to Normal-type moves.

Generation II onward

Super Fang no longer hits Ghost-type Pokémon.

Super Fang can be used as the second move of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 2 bonus appeal points if Scary Face was used in the previous turn.

In Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team and Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky, Super Fang is a move with 17PP and 100% accuracy. It targets an enemy in front of the user, halving their HP. Unlike in main series, it is unable to KO target that is at 1HP, and will instead fail to work. This move is affected by the Muzzled status condition.
