Nidoqueen: Bite vs Poison Jab

Bite and Earthquake is still listed as an A moveset on this website. Is there any times that it is superior to Poison Jab on Nidoqueen?

Why so drastic? Nidoqueen is still a pretty strong mon, I fight with her pretty often and she's fun to use. Good Snorlax prestiger too.

But I'd agree that Bite is not really superior to Poison Jab in terms of damage, although it's faster and allows better dodging which is important to some players.

It is not easy to transfer a high iv/high cp with Bite as an A moveset. But I have, not just once but multiple times.
I've kept my nidoQs with PJ/E.
I just can't/won't keep them all.

Against Snorlax? But both ZH and EQ hit S/E into Nido. I actually use Nidos against Muk. Bite/EQ melts Muk away. But sadly he is not as common on def as we would hope.

That combination is useful against Gengar.

I see three variants of nidoqueen:

(1) Poison attacker with PJ/SW; Only needed against fairies
(2) Ground attacker with B/EQ; Used in these rare cases to attack or prestige against Jolteon
(3) Defender with PJ/EQ, unfortunately low on CP, not really usefull.

It is a niche-PKM, i keep some, but really rarely use them.
