Beartic Guide
In Black & White, Beartic looks average on paper at 485 BST. But Slush Rush is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. C-Tier attacker on our tier list. Iciclecrash with Expert Belt is the standard set.
In Black & White, 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 leaning toward the physical side (base 110 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 attacker role.
For Black & White, the core moveset is Iciclecrash, Bulk Up, Aqua Jet, and Icepunch. Iciclecrash leads at 25% usage. This set covers the attacker role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
Since Black & White, Beartic has been obtainable in 8 games. A Generation 5 debut means a shorter history, but Beartic has appeared steadily across every generation since.
