From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

Bide (Japanese: がまん Perseverance) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation I. It is TM34 in Generation I.

Effect

Generation I

After Bide is selected, the user will be unable to select a move for an idling period of 2-3 turns (chosen randomly), though it will still be able to switch out during the move's effect. Afterwards, Bide will do damage equal to twice the damage received during the idling period. If the user is not directly attacked during the biding period, it will fail on the turn it would have released. Although Bide is a Normal-type move, type has no effect on the calculated damage inflicted by this attack, so Bide deals neutral damage on Rock and Ghost types and does not receive the same-type attack bonus.

Bide bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, even during the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly.

The damage received during the period is counted as equal to the last amount of damage done. The last amount of damage done will include crash damage, an opponent's self-inflicted confusion damage, and the full damage absorbed by a substitute. Additionally, if the opponent does not use an attack that misses, the last amount of damage done will not be reset, effectively resulting in damage done during the previous turn also being counted as damage done during that turn.

Sleep, freeze, binding, and flinching will pause but not disrupt the duration of Bide.

In Stadium, a move can be selected during each of Bide's idling turns. Bide will miss against any Pokémon that is in the middle of Dig, Fly, or a similar semi-invulnerable state.

Generation II

Bide no longer bypasses accuracy checks, and has an accuracy of 100. It can no longer hit Ghost-type Pokémon, nor Pokémon in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly.

If sleep status is inflicted on a Pokémon using Bide, the move is disrupted and does not continue even after the Pokémon wakes up.

Generation III

151Mew.png This move effect may be in need of research.
Reason: Confirm if it can hit Pokémon in the semi-invulnerable turn in Generations II and III.
You can discuss this on the talk page.

Bide will now only endure attacks for two turns. Once a Pokémon has started biding, it cannot choose to switch out until the attack is complete.

Bide hits the last Pokémon to attack the user, even if this is an ally.

In Generation III only, a loss of HP due to Pain Split contributes to the accumulated damage of Bide.

Generation IV

Bide now has an increased priority of +1 in its entire duration, so it is used before all moves that do not have increased priority.

Bide now bypasses accuracy checks again. It can again hit Ghost-type Pokémon, but not Pokémon who are in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly.

Pain Split can no longer contribute to the accumulated damage of Bide.

If Bide is called through another move, it will have +0 priority on its subsequent turns.

Generations V to VII

Bide can no longer hit Ghost-type Pokémon, nor Pokémon in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly.

During Triple Battles, this attack will hit the last Pokémon to attack the user, including allies.

If Bide is called through another move, it will have +1 priority on its subsequent turns.

Generation VIII onwards

Bide cannot be selected in a battle.
