Bewear Best Moveset
Contact damage halved by AbilityFluffy, effectively doubling physical bulk at the cost of 2x Fire weakness. 125 Attack at 120 HP behind Normal/Fighting TermStab gives the moveset devastating power with enormous effective physical bulk. B-tier because 60 Speed goes second and Fire attacks cut through the Fluffy protection.
Fluffy halved contact damage but doubled Fire damage taken in Gen VII (Sun & Moon). 125 Attack with Drain Punch sustained it. A physical tank that punished close-range fighters.

Base Stats
Raw Attack carries Bewear's bulk more than the defenses do. Sp. Atk barely registers. But that HP pool covers for it. A moderately hard to find Strong Arm Pokemon that yields 2 Attack EVs on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
The moves it uses to take down its prey would make a martial artist jealous. It tucks subdued prey under its arms to carry them to its nest.
Bewear Event Distributions
Bewear is available only through a single Mystery Gift event distribution.

Bewear Guide
Bewear plays as a wallbreaker. Not the fastest, so pick your spots carefully.
Bewear pairs best with Terapagos, Ursaluna, and Lopunny Mega. Terapagos has Good synergy and covers what Bewear can't handle on its own.
Bewear's hidden ability is Unnerve. It prevents opposing Pokémon from eating held Berries. Situational compared to Fluffy and Klutz.
Adamant is the go-to nature for Bewear. That's +Attack / -Sp. Atk. Pair it with 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD EVs. Fits the wallbreaker role.
Game Availability
Bewear joined the series in Sun & Moon and has been available in 3 titles so far. With 3 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
