[SET COMMENTS]
Bewear is a top-tier wallbreaker that becomes devastatingly hard to switch into at +2 Attack. Drain Punch gives Bewear passive recovery, which is essential for reliably checking Pokemon such as Snorlax and Silvally-Steel. Close Combat can be utilized instead for higher power and to secure an OHKO on Steelix at +2. Darkest Lariat is a staple because it allows Bewear to hit Ghost-types such as Jellicent, Silvally-Ghost, and Rotom. Lum Berry can be used over Silk Scarf to ease setup against common status-inducing Pokemon such as Vileplume and Jellicent, but the lack of power can be noticeable at times such as not securing the 100% OHKO on Vileplume.

Special attackers such as Salazzle, Drampa, Indeedee-M, and Ninetales appreciate Bewear's ability to easily switch into their main counter in Snorlax. Indeedee-M works especially well with Bewear because it can take care of Dark-types and Steel-types that trouble Indeedee-M. Pokemon that can utilize Volt Switch, U-turn, or Teleport, such as Rotom, Silvally-Fairy, and Xatu, can bring Bewear onto the battlefield safely while also covering Bewear's Fighting-type weakness. Bewear struggles to deal with Psychic-types like Indeedee and Xatu, so pairing Bewear with Dark- or Steel-types such as Silvally-Dark and Copperajah is ideal. Note that pairing Bewear with a Dark- or Steel-type stacks the team's weakness against Fighting-types. Fire-types such as Ninetales or Salazzle are also threats to Bewear; having Charizard to counter Ninetales and Gastrodon, Rhydon, or Jellicent for Salazzle is much appreciated.

"Pokemon that are Physically-Defensive weak are also good teammates with Bewear due to it's ability in Fluffy."

this is unnecessary, remove it

im also not a big fan of body slam cuz double edge is so good but its w/e

qc 1/2 otherwise gj!
 
lum berry should be slashed instead of leftovers. add a sentence detailing lum berry's use.

double edge should be the primary normal type stab move instead of body slam, remove it and all mentions of it

drain punch isn't passive recovery and shouldn't be labeled as such. "Drain Punch serves as the primary Fighting-type STAB attack and gives Bewear a way to recover its HP." would work much better

order the EVs correctly, 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe. also, make it jolly instead of adamant.

"Pokemon that can utilize Volt Switch, U-turn, or Teleport such as Rotom, Silvally-Fairy, and Xatu also contain excellent synergy with Bewear as they allow Bewear to come onto the battlefield safely." this can be reworded to be a whole lot clearer. "Pokemon that can utilize Volt Switch, U-Turn, or Teleport, such as Rotom, Silvally-Fairy, or Xatu can bring Bewear onto the battlefield safely while also covering Bewear's Fighting-type weakness."

get back to me once implemented for 2/2

Bewear is a top tier wallbreaker utilizing Swords Dance that becomes devastatingly hard to switch into once at +2 Attack after using Swords Dance. Drain Punch and Close Combat can also be used interchangeably as each move has a separate advantages. Drain Punch gives Bewear passive recovery in exchange for less power while Close Combat is a much stronger Fighting STAB attack but offers no recovery and lowers Bewear's Defense and Special Defense (this part can honestly just be taken out as it's obvious, but if it's up to you). for Bewear. In addition to this, Close Combat lowers Bewear's Defense and Special Defense every single time it is used. Darkest Lariat is a staple must have as it allows Bewear to hit Ghost-types such as Jellicent, Silvally-Ghost, and Rotom. Lum Berry should be used over Silk Scarf unless it is necessary for to have Bewear to always OHKO Vileplume (Why is Silk Scarf listed first then on the set? *).

Special Attackers such as Salazzle, Drampa, Indeedee-M, and Ninetales much appreciate Bewear's ability to easily switch into their main counter in Snorlax. Indeedee-M deserves a special shoutout works especially well with as Bewear as it can take care of Dark-types and Steel-types that trouble Indeedee-M. Pokemon that can utilize Volt Switch, U-Turn, or Teleport, such as Rotom, Silvally-Fairy, or Xatu can bring Bewear onto the battlefield safely while also covering Bewear's Fighting-type weakness. Bewear struggles to deal with Psychic-types like Indeedee or Xatu so pairing Bewear with Dark-(AH) or Steel-(AH)types such as Silvally-Dark or Copperajah is ideal. Note Be mindful with the fact that by pairing Bewear with a Dark- or Steel-type, it will be stacking stacks the team's weaknesses against Fighting-types. Fluffy makes Bewear take double the damage from Fire-type attacks so Fire-types such as Ninetales or Salazzle are also threats to Bewear due to Fluffy making Bewear weaker to Fire-type attacks. Thus, Bewear much appreciates Centiskorch for countering (idk enough about the meta to say countering/checking) dealing with Ninetales and Gastrodon, Rhydon, or Jellicent for countering (idk enough about the meta to say countering/checking) dealing with Salazzle.

Drain Punch and Close Combat can also be used interchangeably as each move has separate advantages. Drain Punch gives Bewear passive recovery in exchange for less power while Close Combat is a much stronger Fighting STAB attack but offers no recovery for Bewear. (thanks, bulbapedia. how is the difference relevant to the meta? do you miss out on kos with drain punch? does no recovery have significant consequences in the average match? run any more detailed sentence by me, this one has issues but there's little point correcting it when it should be improved) Darkest Lariat is a staple as because ('as' needs to be preceded by a comma, 'because' does not, so i go with the latter cause analyses tend to be comma-happy already) it allows Bewear to hit Ghost-types such as Jellicent, Silvally-Ghost, and Rotom. Lum Berry can be used over Silk Scarf to ease setup against common status-inducing Pokemon such as Vileplume and Jellicent, but the lack of power can be noticeable at times. (again, are there specific examples?)

Special attackers such as Salazzle, Drampa, Indeedee-M, and Ninetales appreciate Bewear's ability to easily switch into their main counter in Snorlax. Indeedee-M works especially well with Bewear as because it can take care of Dark-types and Steel-types that trouble Indeedee-M.
