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.
Once it accepts you as a friend, it tries to show its affection with a hug. Letting it do that is dangerous—it could easily shatter your bones.
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 is weak to Fighting, Flying, Psychic, and Fairy. On the flip side, it's immune to Ghost-type moves entirely. Standard number of weaknesses for the Normal/Fighting typing.

TMs carry this one. Bewear learns Giga Impact and Hyper Beam naturally for STAB, but the offensive range comes almost entirely from technical machines. Dark and Ground and beyond give it real matchup play.

TM Moves
Egg Moves

The TM pool is where it gets interesting. Coverage across 10 types means almost nothing walls Bewear cleanly, with Giga Impact and Hyper Beam anchoring the STAB side. Matchup flexibility isn't a problem.
Breeding opens up real options for Bewear. Endure and Force Palm come exclusively from egg moves, and they're worth the effort. The rest of the kit covers basics through Giga Impact and Hyper Beam and coverage across 8 types.
Bewear starts showing up in mid-game routes at high spawn rates across 40 encounter spots. The list below is sorted so you can pick what fits your current progress without scrolling through everything.

We rate Bewear B-Tier: a solid choice for the right team. At 500 BST, it fits the wallbreaker role. Base 125 Attack stands out.
Bewear's biggest threats include Machamp (Fighting), Talonflame (Flying), and Espeon (Psychic), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Fairy-type attackers are also a problem.
Fluffy is the go-to ability for Bewear. It damage from contact moves is halved. Its hidden ability Unnerve can work in specific setups. Klutz is the other option. Pick based on what your team needs.
At base 60 Speed, it won't be moving first often. On offense, Bewear is a physical attacker with base 125 Attack. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a wallbreaker.
The core moveset is Drain Punch, Darkestlariat, Double Edge, and Swords Dance. Drain Punch leads at 23% usage. This set covers the wallbreaker role with a mix of damage and utility.
Bewear joined the series in Sun & Moon and has been available in 3 titles so far. With 4 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
