Damage multipliers this Pokemon takes from each attacking type (based on the current form).
Damage multipliers of this Pokemon's same-type (STAB) moves against each defending type.
High-firepower meta Pokémon that hit it super-effectively by type (estimated, not battle data)
Based on real ladder matchup statistics and expert community assessments (data snapshot 2026-05)
Beartic occupies a severe niche (0.03%, rank 213) hinged on its 130 Attack and diverse physical movepool (Icicle Crash, Close Combat, Earthquake). However, base 50 Speed is terminal—it cannot function as a sweeper without external speed support in singles' fast-paced meta. Both Slush Rush and Swift Swim require weather activation (hail or rain respectively), making team construction costly and inflexible. Teammate patterns (Basculegion, Meganium-Mega) indicate it functions only within dedicated weather cores, explaining its low usage.
Playstyle:Beartic runs Jolly (46%) or Adamant (31.2%) spreads optimizing physical attack and speed. Icicle Crash (23.9%) and Close Combat (22.1%) form the core, supported by Earthquake (15.7%) and Rock Slide (12.2%). Babiri Berry (46.2%) is the go-to defensive item; 神秘水滴 (30.2%) is secondary. Slush Rush (53.1%) and Swift Swim (46.5%) are nearly even splits, indicating dual weather-dependent viability: hail for Slush Rush, rain for Swift Swim. Basculegion and Pelipper teammates underscore weather-driven team structures as the sole viable archetype.
Beartic's doubles usage is minimal (0.05%, rank 194) with low all-tier representation (0.24%). Base 50 Speed cripples it in the 4-on-4 format—it cannot keep pace with the meta's attack tempo. While Icicle Crash and Close Combat output damage, it lacks tailored doubles support moves (Protect is only 19.1%, far below meta standard). Froslass-Mega and Incineroar teammates signal it functions as a secondary role-player within weather cores or support stacks rather than as a primary threat.
Playstyle:Doubles Beartic runs Adamant (31.5%) or Jolly (15.2%) optimizing physical attack. Close Combat (19.7%) and Icicle Crash (19.4%) split primary roles; Protect (19.1%) provides baseline flexibility. Throat Chop (6.5%) adds minor utility but the movepool is overwhelmingly physical-focused, lacking doubles-specific range coverage or support. Focus Sash (37.5%) and Nevermelice (22.7%) items indicate a first-turn survival strategy—Beartic relies on tanking initial pressure rather than rapid threat elimination.
