[SET COMMENTS]
This set works as a setup wallbreaker, utilizing Bewear's bulk to set up on relatively passive Pokemon like Gigalith and then KO physical walls such as Vileplume and Mantine. It can also act as a handy check to Fighting-types in a pinch if the user opts for Chople Berry. Darkest Lariat is specifically used for Ghost-types, which would otherwise wall Bewear, and allows it to hit Psychic-types such as Galarian Slowbro without taking recoil from Double-Edge. Drain Punch is preferred, as Double-Edge + Silk Scarf along with Darkest Lariat give Bewear all the wallbreaking coverage options it needs, and Drain Punch provides it with some longevity. A Jolly nature is used to outpace Jolly Golurk and Scrafty, but an Adamant nature can, for example, allow Bewear to more easily dispatch of physically defensive Galarian Slowbro.

Pokemon such as Barraskewda, Salazzle, and Choice Scarf Gardevoir, which can clean teams weakened by Bewear, work as teammates. Other Pokemon such as Galarian Slowbro and Golurk appreciate support from Bewear, as it can switch into Dark- and Ghost-type attacks for them. Bewear synergizes well with teammates such as Bronzong and Copperajah, which handle its weakness to Fairy- and Psychic-types, as well as Mantine, Milotic, and Dragalge, which handle its weakness to Fire-types due to Fluffy.

[SET COMMENTS]
Choice Band allows for more immediate power, able to capitalize on Bewear's defensive utility to switch into Pokemon such as Golisopod and instantly fire off powerful attacks. However, it is more prediction-reliant and the inability to damage Pokemon like Steelix and Galarian Slowbro if it locks into the wrong move is a major drawback. Darkest Lariat is specifically used for Ghost-types, which would otherwise wall Bewear, and allows Bewear to hit Psychic-types like Galarian Slowbro and Xatu without taking recoil from Double-Edge. A Jolly nature is used to outpace Jolly Golurk and Scrafty, but an Adamant nature gives Bewear more immediate strength.

Bewear appreciates the support from pivots such as Barraskewda, Porygon2, and Dragalge, which all give it free turns; Dragalge's ability to draw in Steel-types is particularly helpful. Other potential teammates such as Gardevoir appreciate Bewear's ability to remove Steel-types. Teammates such as Bronzong and Espeon alleviate some of the weakness to Fairy-, Flying-, Fighting-, and Psychic-types that Bewear has while profiting off the defensive utility Bewear provides, notably its ability to switch into Knock Off and Pokemon like Golisopod. Since Choice Band Bewear forces so many switches, Spikes support can be helpful to chip the foe; Klefki can both set Spikes and take on Gardevoir if it is sent in to revenge kill Bewear.

This set works as a set up wallbreaker, using its bulk to set up on relatively passive Pokemon like Steelix and Gigalith and then KOing physical walls to handle Pokemon such as Vileplume and Mantine (better example since it's a fight resist) Milotic. Darkest Lariat is specifically used for Ghost-types, which would otherwise wall Bewear, and allows Bewear to hit Psychic-types such as Galarian Slowbro without taking recoil from Double Edge. Drain Punch is preferred, as Double Edge + Silk Scarf along with Darkest Lariat give Bewear all the wallbreaking coverage options it needs, and Drain Punch provides it with some longevity. A Jolly nature is used to outpace Jolly Golurk and Scrafty, but an Adamant nature can, for example, allow Bewear to more easily dispatch a healthy physically defensive Galarian Slowbro. (needed because jolly always OHKO at +2 unless it's the 252/252+ phys def set)

Pokemon such as Barraskewda, Salazzle, and Scarf Gardevoir, which can clean teams weakened by Bewear, all work as teammates. Bewear synergizes well with teammates such as Galarian Slowbro and Bronzong, who can cover its weaknesses and provide various support for it.

"cover its weaknesses is too vague", let's break down teammates by (relevant) weakness.
- Fairy & Psychic: Steel-types (Bronzong, Copperajah) and AV Galarian Slowbro can switch into Gardevoir's STABs if it comes in to revenge-kill
- Fire: Water-types (mantine, milo, vapo) and Dragalge can compensate for the Fire-type weakness caused by Fluffy; many of these can also bring it into battle thru Wish or Flip Turn.

let's also discuss teammates that want Bewear's support; Dark- and Ghost-weak Pokemon like Galarian Slowbro, Bronzong, and Golurk appreciate it switching into Knock Offs and Poltergeists for them, and stuff like Garde / Goodra / Dragalge appreciate its ability to pressure their Steel-type switchins.

(feel free to condense these 2 together, since a lot of the mons show up in both. just talk abt the utility bewear provides thru its bulky/typing, and what it needs to cover its weaknesses).

Choice Band allows for more immediate power, able to capitalize on Bewear's defensive utility to switch into Pokemon such as Golisopod and instantly fire off powerful attacks. However, it is more prediction-reliant; the inability to damage Steelix or Mantine if it locks into the wrong move is a major drawback. (This is the biggest difference between this set and SD) Darkest Lariat is specifically used for Ghost-types, which would otherwise wall Bewear, and allows Bewear to hit Psychic-types like Galarian Slowbro and Xatu without taking recoil from Double Edge. A Jolly nature is used to outpace Jolly Golurk and Scrafty, but an Adamant nature gives Bewear more immediate strength.

It appreciates the support from pivots such as Barraskewda, Porygon2, and Dragalge, which all give it free turns; Dragalge's ability to draw in Steel-types is particularly helpful. Teammates such as Bronzong and Espeon alleviate some of the weakness to Fairy-, Flying-, Fighting-, and Psychic-types that Bewear has, while profiting off the defensive utility Bewear provides. Since Choice Band Bewear forces so many switches, Spikes support can be helpful to chip the opponent; Klefki can both set Spikes and take on Gardevoir if it is sent in to revenge-kill Bewear.
(this looks pretty good, add a little bit of the stuff from the teammates section above).
