Beartic

**Beartic** (Japanese: **ツンベアー** *Tunbear*) is an Ice-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Cubchoo starting at level 37.

## Biology

Beartic is an ursine, quadruped creature capable of standing on its hind legs. It has bluish white fur with a shaggy tuft at its rear. Three spikes of ice hang from its lower jaw, forming a beard. Its face consists of a long snout, beady black eyes, and rounded ears. Its large forepaws have black claws and paw pads. Beartic is capable of freezing its own breath, and will create pathways across water using this technique. It inhabits northern areas where it catches prey in the cold waters.
