Bewear wants hug! And his powerful grabs ensure that he will get what he wants! His combos are incredible, and his command grabs such as 5B and 6B can deal insane damage! Bewear is one beefy bear, sporting the highest health in the game, and with decent speed to boot, he's optimized for tanking hits and more hugging action!
However, he struggles greatly with projectiles and long-ranged attacks from the likes of Toxicroak and Poliwrath, and his large frame make him prone to pressure. But Bewear doesn't care! All Bewear wants is fun, and playing him will certainly ensure that you can have plenty of fun, too!
