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.
This immensely dangerous Pokémon possesses overwhelming physical strength. Its habitat is generally off-limits.
