Arcanine: Bite vs Fire Fang
Anyone prefer Bite more than fire fang for attacking?
Almost same dps but generates much more energy Dmg resisted most likely by nobody in the gym. Still 1,25x dmg vs ExeggutorFire Fang
- Generates less energy
- Resisted by dragons

I like Bite a lot for the quick move on Arcanine when battling/training a gym. With the gym AI and a slower quick move from the defender, Bite can land 5-6 times with time still to dodge. This means that Bite can generate 2-3 Fireblasts between the AI's charge move. Example: 1666 Arcanine vs. 2174 Lapras with Frost Breath and Blizzard, my puppy can regularly beat Nessie with 1/2 HP remaining.
You're totally correct, BUT only if the charge move is fire blast, since bite generates more energy and this is crucial to fill a whole bar, especially against exeggutors. Against all other, it will do more or less the same damage if you consider thar bite generates more energy but fire fang is indeed a stronger move.
