Should i learn bide

User Info: Frostaqua. Vote Bide. Bide is absolutely terrible move. Pretty much terrible against Pokemon who happen to carried Protect. Not only that, but it also allows your opponent to make best preparation in response to Bide.

Absolutely worst move, akin to Razor Wind. Flatter is too useful than Bide. It is an excellent support move that can used on physical sweeper Pokemon if you dislike to increase your opponent's strength or support your partner.

A partner Pokemon can take an advantage of Flatter are the one with Own Tempo. User Info: FoxFluff. Bide Some of the logic around here is silly, what's wrong with a confusing move that is basically a confuse ray that you wouldn't use on special attackers mostly for pokes that don't learn confuse ray? And if Own Tempo doesn't cancel the move all together and still gives the stat boost I don't know , bam, double battle usage as well. Bide, I have used and do use at low levels, it has its uses!

But in the long run it's really not always worth it in the end. In-game I wound up getting really unlucky with the AI, and competitively it's just a free turn unless you use it on continuous move. User Info: ShadowEspionage. Bide has no use in competitive battles and is only useful early on in the game I vote Bide.

User Info: shiningpikablu Going with Bide here. What good is a move that has you sit there, take damage, and then retaliate a few turns later? Sure, it's for double the damage and doesn't require the prediction Counter and Mirror Coat do, but using Bide is just basically begging to be KO'd--albeit not as much as Taunt, though why did a bunch of know-nothings want it to be removed from the bracket anyway?

Taunt was a clear tournament favorite Flatter can actually be used strategically. Of course, it can backfire if used incorrectly, but it's very useful in multiples when you've got Own Tempo on your side. Bide now bypasses accuracy checks again. Pain Split can no longer contribute to the accumulated damage of Bide.

The status lasts for turns, and any damage dealt to the user during that time will be doubled to the enemy in front. This move has 15PP and is affected by Taunt. The user goes into a reprisal and any damage that is done to the user is passed to the attacker as well.

User Info: funkyfritter funkyfritter 13 years ago 4 Cons: -takes multiple turns -relies on the opponent using attack moves -damage is meh compared to just attacking normally -it either does nothing or you take a bunch of damage Pros: -funny when combined with encore on shuckle And with that User Info: rontifu rontifu 13 years ago 5 Bide makes you lose 2 or 3 turns cant remember for absorbing the damage.
