Beartic (Japanese: ツンベアー Tunbear) is an Ice-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves from Cubchoo starting at level 37.

Biology

 
Beartic's ice claws in battle

Beartic is an ursine, quadrupedal Pokémon capable of standing on its hind legs. It has bluish-white fur with a shaggy tuft at its rear. Its head has a stumpy protuberance on top, and its face consists of a long snout, beady black eyes, and rounded ears. Ice covers the lower part of its snout and around its mouth. Three spikes of ice hang from its lower jaw, forming a beard. Its large forepaws have black claws and paw pads.

Beartic is capable of freezing its own breath, and will create pathways across oceans using this technique. Should it get tired while swimming, Beartic will also use its breath to freeze the water it is swimming in so that it can lay down and rest. Its ice breath can create fangs and claws of ice, the former being harder than steel. It inhabits northern areas where it catches prey in the cold waters. Once it captures its prey, it freezes them with its breath to preserve. It has a ferocious temperament, which has earned it the "Snow-White Demon" moniker. In Lental, it fights with Mamoswine for territory. Despite its otherwise fierce demeanor, Beartic is known to be protective around Cubchoo.

Trivia

Origin

Beartic appears to be based on a polar bear. Its flat, cone-like head and icy beard also gives it a resemblance to snow-capped mountains.

Name origin

Beartic may be a combination of bear and arctic. Notably, arctic itself derives from ἄρκτος arktos, Ancient Greek for bear. It may also incorporate the word beard, from the ice crystals around its snout giving the impression of a long beard.

Tunbear may be a combination of tundra, 氷柱 tsurara (icicle), and bear.
