Biology

Bewear are very friendly Pokémon but are considered one of the most dangerous in the Alola region due to the immense force exerted when giving hugs to others they have accepted as friends. The force of their hugs is powerful enough to shatter bones and has killed many Trainers; as a result, Trainers of this Pokémon teach them how to restrain themselves when showing affection.
