Bewear Guide

  • For Sword & Shield, we rate Bewear C-Tier: a niche pick in Sword & Shield's meta. At 500 BST, it fits the wallbreaker role. Earthquake with Choice Band is the standard set.

  • In Sword & Shield, 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.

  • In Sword & Shield, the best way to handle Bewear: Status moves (Toxic, Will-O-Wisp) wear it down. Setup sweepers can use it as a boost opportunity. Special attackers bypass its physical bulk.

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.
