We mentioned Beartic's distinctive design inPokemon Monday 22, but it bears repeating – this polar bear has an aggressive crotch. Despite his tough looks though,Beartic is in a difficult spot competitively, because his status as a physical attacker severely limits his STAB movepool. Icicle Drop is your best option, with 85 base power, 90% accuracy and a 30% chance of causing your opponent to flinch. Ice Punch isn't all that bad either, with 75 base power, 100% accuracy and a 10% chance of freezing your opponent, but it's probably not worth the trouble sinceBeartic can only learn it through breeding.
