Trivia

• Even though it is said to create fangs or tusks of ice for fighting, Beartic is unable to learn Ice Fang.
• Beartic is the one of only two non-Water Pokémon that is not legendary to be able to learn Dive, the other being Dragonite. This is most likely to reflect the fact that it is based on a polar bear.

Origin

Beartic is based on the polar bear, a species of bear found primarily in the Arctic Circle.

Name origin

Beartic is a mix of bear and arctic.

Tsunbear's name may derive from the 氷柱 tsurara (icicle), ツンドラ (tundra), and bear.
