On Smogon's Movedex: Generation VIII Generation IX

Bitter Malice (Japanese: うらみつらみ Bitter Grudge) is a damage-dealing Ghost-type move introduced in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. It is the signature move of Hisuian Zorua and Zoroark.

Effect

Generation VIII

Bitter Malice inflicts damage and has a 30% chance (50% chance in the strong style) to leave the target with frostbite. The move's power is doubled if the target has a status condition.

Generation IX

Bitter Malice's PP and power were changed to 10 and 75, respectively. It no longer powers up if the target has a status condition, and it instead lowers the target's Attack by one stage.
