Is Beartic Good in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Playthrough?
Pure Ice with 130 Attack. Physical Ice moves like MoveIcicle Crash hit hard. Handles the Dragon trial and Kahili's Flying E4. Slow, and the single typing leaves it vulnerable to Fire, Fighting, Rock, and Steel. Strong in its matchups, fragile outside them.

USUM Beartic Best Moveset
130 Attack with AbilitySlush Rush doubling 50 Speed in hail for a fast physical Ice attacker under weather support. AbilitySwift Swim as a hidden ability adds rain versatility. Ice TermStab at that Attack hits hard. But without weather, 50 Speed acts dead last. The moveset needs hail or rain to function. D-tier through weather dependence.

Beartic Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Beartic looks average on paper at 505 BST. But Slush Rush is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. C-Tier wallbreaker on our tier list. Iciclecrash with Choice Band is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Beartic's biggest threats include Volcarona (Fire), Machamp (Fighting), and Aerodactyl (Rock), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Steel-type attackers are also a problem.
Beartic gets Slush Rush, Snow Cloak, and Swift Swim. But Slush Rush is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Beartic is a physical attacker with base 130 Attack. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 50 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. Fits the wallbreaker role.
For Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, the core moveset is Iciclecrash, Aqua Jet, Superpower, and Swords Dance. Iciclecrash leads at 0% usage. This set covers the wallbreaker role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
