Learn about the Bide move in Pokémon Platinum, its damage, PP, and how it works in Tough contests.
Bide is a Normal-type move with 10 PP and 100% accuracy. It falls under the Physical category. When you use Bide, you cannot attack for two turns as you absorb damage. Any damage you receive during this period is paid back to your opponent at double the amount. For example, if you take 40 HP worth of damage, you will strike your opponent for 80 HP.
In contests, Bide is classified as a Tough-type move and is worth 2 points.
Tips
- Consider using Bide when you anticipate taking significant damage, as it allows you to turn that damage into a powerful counterattack.
- Remember that you cannot attack while Bide is active, making you vulnerable if your opponent doesn't attack you.
