It evolves from Stufful starting at level 27.

Biology

Bewear is a black and pink Pokémon resembling a bipedal bear. Its legs and the front of its body are black, while its head, back, and tail are pink. Across the top of its head is a white band with two tufts of fur on each end. This white marking gives it the appearance of wearing a headband with decorative bear ears. It has a short, white muzzle with a triangular black nose and two small, black eyes. There are pink paw pads on its front paws consisting of the palm and three digital pads. The hind paws have three white digital pads on the front. It has a short tail with dark pink rings.

While Bewear may appear friendly, it is actually a very dangerous Pokémon — even considered to be the most dangerous Pokémon in Alola. It must never be approached carelessly, even if it is merely swinging its arms around in a friendly fashion as this is used as a warning. It shows affection with a fond embrace, but its hugs have incredible force. Trainers of this Pokémon must teach it how to restrain itself when showing affection.[1] Its hugs are powerful enough to shatter bones. Many Trainers are said to have left the world after receiving Bewear's hugs. Bewear uses its arms to subdue its prey before taking it back to its nest. In Lental, Bewear are known to hibernate during seasons when food is scarce.

Main series
Bewear in the anime
Bewear (anime)

A wild female Bewear living on Melemele Island debuted in Alola to New Adventure!. She took a liking to Team Rocket and took them to live in her den for the duration of Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon. She would also protect them from blasting off by grabbing and carrying them while sprinting. In Don't Ignore the Small Stufful!, Bewear was reunited with her child, a Stufful that had been living at Aether Paradise after being rescued by Wicke.

Minor appearances

A Bewear appeared in Matori's fantasy in Spying for the Big Guy!, where she imagined Stufful evolving into it.

Trivia

Origin

Bewear seems to be based on a red panda and a stuffed bear. It also has some similarities to a mascot costume.

Its Fighting type may be a reference to the use of wrestling bears in professional wrestling. Similarly, its type may also be related to the bear hug, a professional wrestling move used for submission.

Name origin

Bewear may be a combination of beware, wear and bear.

Kiteruguma may be a combination of 着てる kiteru (wearing), 着ぐるみ kigurumi (costume), and 熊 kuma (bear).
