PvE Analysis

Beartic isn't the cute and cuddly Ice-type teddy bear that its pre-evolution is, though it doesn't really challenge the current best Ice-types either. An unimpressive moveset combined with a subpar ATK stat leaves more to be desired if Beartic is to challenge Mamoswine. Glaceon, Jynx, and Weavile all beat Beartic in Ice-type DPS, which makes this bear more of dex entry or budget pick than anything worth investing in. 

Best PvE Offensive Moveset

Powder Snow + Ice PunchBest
  • Powder Snow is more meaningful for Beartic as an Ice-type attacker.
  • Charm is very narrowly better for neutral fights, but this isn't Beartic's forte. 
  • Ice Punch gets STAB and pairs with Powder Snow to fulfill an Ice-type role. 
  • Play Rough shares the same typing with Charm to fulfill a Fairy-type role, but maybe consider an actual Fairy Pokemon instead. 
  • Surf doesn't have much use for Beartic. 

Best PvE Defensive Moveset

Charm + Ice Punch, Play Rough, or SurfBest
  • Charm hits very hard on defense and is the superior choice. 
  • Powder Snow has poor damage output on defense and doesn't provide additional coverage. 
  • Ice Punch as a 3-bar move can be used frequently, gets STAB, and is somewhat hard to dodge.
  • Surf provides coverage against Beartic's weakness to Fire and Rock Pokemon.
  • Play Rough helps cover Beartic's weakness to Fighting-type attackers like Machamp. 

PvP Analysis

Powder Snow or Charm + Ice Punch and Surf

Powder Snow is preferred for its fast energy generation, though Charm's high damage output can surprise opponents. 

Ice Punch is recommended for its low energy cost and STAB damage. Surf also doesn't cost a lot of energy and provides coverage against Beartic's weaknesses to Rock and Fire Pokemon. Liquidation is largely redundant thanks to Beartic already learning Surf. Play Rough costs a lot of energy to access, which makes it less desirable but not unusable. 

Great League1 / 5

Beartic is a fragile mono-Ice type Pokemon with a very fast moveset. Unfortunately mono-Ice typing is arguably the worst typing defensively, which makes Beartic very vulnerable against the meta. While it can easily handle Altaria and Tropius who are doubly weak to Ice, it doesn't have much else going for it, with a long list of losses against popular meta Pokemon. 

Ultra League1 / 5

Access to a moveset that threatens Dragon-types is very valuable in Ultra League where Giratina is regarded as the king, but unfortunately poor bulk and an exploitable typing holds Beartic back. Its moveset with either Powder Snow or Charm is enough to deal with Dragonite, Latios, Flygon, Kingdra, and just barely can compete with Dialga in certain shielding matchups, but it's still no match for Giratina. Against most other meta picks, Beartic is mostly prey than predator. 

Master League0 / 5

Beartic has a relatively low CP which is somewhat lackluster compared to various legendary and psuedo-legendary Pokemon found in Master League. Its very vulnerable typing and poor bulk don't do it any favors in this league, with most meta-relevant Pokemon being able to defeat Beartic quite easily.
