Super Fang (Japanese: いかりのまえば Fangs of Wrath) is a damage-dealing Normal-type move introduced in Generation I. Prior to Generation IV, it was one of the signature moves of Rattata and Raticate.

Effect

Super Fang deals damage equal to 50% of the target's current HP, rounded down. It always deals at least 1 HP of damage.

Generation I

It will hit Ghost-type Pokémon, even though the type has immunity to Normal-type moves.

Generation II

Super Fang no longer hits Ghost-type Pokémon.

Super Fang is affected by King's Rock.

Generation III onwards

Super Fang can be used as the second move of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 2 bonus appeal points if Scary Face was used in the previous turn.
