Does damage from sand and hail add to the damage dealt by bide?

Question

• Does damage from sandstorms and hail add to the damage output of the move bide?

• Will these conditions cause bide to deal damage even if the opposing Pokemon has not damaged it directly?

• Will it ignore damage dealt from natural conditions and just do damage if the opponent has caused the weather with an ability/move?

Thanks so much

Answer 1

Damage from sandstorms and hail does not add to the damage output of the move Bide.

If the opponent does not attack you during Bide, then the move will fail, regardless of sandstorm or hail.
