PLACE IN THE META: Beartic is not the worst Ice-type addition to Pokémon GO, but it will struggle to stand out. Pokémon like Weavile, Mamoswine, and Kyurem will continue to dominate the field of Ice-type attackers and not leave much room for the "lower-tier" Ice-types like Beartic.

​LIKELY MOVEPOOL: Out of the Fast Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Beartic:
  • Frost Breath
  • ​Powder Snow
​
Out of the Charged Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Beartic:
  • Blizzard
  • Ice Beam
  • ​Ice Punch
  • Surf
  • Water Pulse

Should Niantic add any new moves, the following are good candidates for Beartic's movepool:
  • Icicle Crash
  • Sheer Cold
  • Superpower

LOOKING AHEAD: Looking beyond Generation 5, Beartic gains no evolution, exclusive Z-Move, or Mega Evolution that is known of at this time.
Thanks for reading, Trainers! Cryogonal is up next.
