In Pokemon M.D, does bide reset if you faint and revive with a reviver seed?

1 minute read

Hi so, I was playing M.D DX and I was thinking about how awful bide was in this game, until I thought “what if you brought an under leveled Pokemon to a boss, had them use a move like Taunt or Follow Me, and Bide so they take all the hits, revive them with a reviver seed each time? Would this strengthen the power of bide or will it reset when the Pokemon Faints?” Would this be possible?

So, I tested this with Pachirisu. I had Pachirisu use Bide against a Pokémon stronger than it. (In this case, Cherrim) Cherrim attacked Pachirisu by using Petal Dance, causing Pachirisu to faint and use a Reviver Seed. Cherrim still kept using Petal Dance, and when I was revived, it didn’t say the message “Pachirisu is storing energy.“Also, let’s say I used Bide, and Cherrim made me faint by using Take Down, which actually happened. (When you use Bide, you can’t move.) Since Bide would make me unable to move, when I was revived by the Reviver Seed, I was able to move.

Therefore, you stop using Bide when the Pokémon using Bide faints and is revived using a Reviver Seed. Hope this helps!
