Beartic Guide
In X & Y, 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. Aqua Jet with Life Orb is the standard set.
In X & Y, 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 a physical attacker with 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 X & Y, the core moveset is Aqua Jet, Play Rough, Bulk Up, and Icepunch. Aqua Jet leads at 16% usage. This set covers the attacker role with a mix of damage and utility.
