Strategy Overview
Bewear differentiates itself from other Fighting-type wallbreakers with its defensive presence; its solid bulk combined with Fluffy allows Bewear to switch into physically offensive threats such as Golisopod, Tyrantrum, and Drapion. Bewear also sports an amazing Attack stat and a boosting option in Swords Dance to punch sizable holes in any Pokemon that doesn't resist its STAB combination. Unfortunately, Bewear's lacking Speed and Special Defense and Fluffy giving it an additional Fire-type weakness mean that it rarely gets the opportunity to sweep and invites in faster threats such as Salazzle, Mega Blastoise, and Necrozma. Bewear can also be worn down quickly by repeatedly switching into resisted attacks and entry hazards, Toxic damage, and recoil from Double-Edge. It can mitigate this somewhat by running Drain Punch, however. Despite its unique defensive traits, Bewear faces heavy competition from other Fighting-types in RU such as Machamp, Passimian, and Hariyama, as they all sport superior coverage options, Speed tiers, and Special Defense.
