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 Guide
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, Bulk Up, and Earthquake. Drain Punch leads at 0% usage. This set covers the wallbreaker role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
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.
