Bewear is a fantastic asset for Normal teams due to its ability, Fluffy, letting it check physical attackers such as Choice Band Zeraora, Zarude, Barraskewda, and Weavile. Drain Punch deals with Steel-types, 2HKOing Ferrothorn and Melmetal and OHKOing Terrakion and Excadrill while providing recovery. Darkest Lariat hits Psychic- and Ghost-types that attempt to switch in on Drain Punch, such as Mew and Aegislash, while ignoring defensive stat boosts, meaning that Bewear can face off against non-Taunt Corviknight. Bulk Up lets Bewear greatly threaten Steel-types, while Substitute allows it to set up without fearing moves such as Toxic from Aegislash and Leech Seed from Ferrothorn. Toxic can be run over Darkest Lariat to pressure walls that don't mind Bewear's boosted attacks, such as Slowbro and Hippowdon, while Roar lets it force out these walls alongside Amoonguss and Celesteela, which are immune to Toxic. Pain Split is an option to provide Bewear more instant recovery. Leftovers is standard, but Rocky Helmet can be run to punish contact moves such as Weavile's Triple Axel or Melmetal's Double Iron Bash. 60 Speed EVs let Bewear outspeed Corviknight, while the rest of the EVs go into making it as bulky as possible. On a set with Pain Split, zero HP EVs and maximum Defense and Special Defense EVs can be run to maximize Pain Split's recovery.
Heliolisk is a great teammate, as it can break through Water- and Flying-types such as non-Choice Scarf Urshifu-R, Toxapex, and Celesteela, and uses Dry Skin to help Bewear deal with Pokémon such as Kingdra and Volcanion. In return, Bewear can break through Steel-types such as Ferrothorn and Assault Vest Melmetal, which shrug off Heliolisk's attacks. Chansey, Porygon2, and Braviary can all safely pivot Bewear into a foe it can set up against such as Ferrothorn. Chansey can soak up status that would limit Bewear, take on special attackers such as Tapu Lele, Choice Specs Jirachi, and Hydreigon, and set Stealth Rock. In return, Bewear can defeat Pokemon that Chansey draws in, such as Terrakion and Melmetal. Porygon2 can spread paralysis through Discharge, while checking Flying- and Dragon-types such as Landorus-T and Dragonite with Ice Beam. Braviary removes entry hazards, helping Bewear switch in repeatedly and have better longevity. Diggersby and Obstagoon are threats that help Bewear break through Steel teams while also dealing with physically defensive walls such as Toxapex and Slowbro. Snorlax is a good soft check to Fire- and Ice-types that give Bewear trouble such as Blacephalon, Victini, and Kyurem. It can also set up on Fairy-types that force Bewear out. In return, Bewear can pressure Steel-types that can stop Snorlax's sweep such as Ferrothorn. Finally, Ditto can copy and punish setup sweepers with Imposter, such as Bulk Up Zeraora, Galarian Moltres, and Swords Dance Garchomp.

Heavy-Duty Boots is another option on teams without Braviary to help Bewear switch in and take on physical attackers such as Terrakion, notably avoiding Spikes from Ferrothorn and Toxic Spikes from Dragalge.
