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. Coincidentally, they all were Template:Type2 moves in Generation I. Bite is also the only move that was changed to a type introduced in Generation II.
- Bite is also the only move to have its damage category change from Physical to Special, then 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.
