Polarizing
[OVERVIEW]
Beartic's excellent Attack and good coverage options are masked by its horrific defensive utility, low Speed, and extreme vulnerability to residual damage. As an Ice-type and wallbreaker, Piloswine outclasses it thanks to its greater bulk, additional Ground typing, and access to Stealth Rock, while wallbreakers like Sawk and Lycanroc-N outperform it thanks to their greater Speed and better typings.

[SET COMMENTS]
Beartic can attempt to wallbreak through its wide coverage and impressive Attack, though it is let down by its abysmal defensive profile and low Speed. Piloswine's greater bulk, additional Ground typing, and access to Stealth Rock make it a better Ice-type and wallbreaker despite its lower Attack. Other wallbreakers like Sawk and Lycanroc-N outclass it thanks to their greater Speed and better typings while having comparable power.

[OVERVIEW]
Beartic's excellent Attack and good coverage options are masked by its horrific defensive utility, low Speed, and its extreme vulnerability to residual damage. As an Ice-type, Piloswine outclasses thanks to its greater bulk, an additional Ground sub-typing, and access to Stealth Rock, while wallbreakers like Sawk and Lycanroc-N outperform it thanks to their greater Speed and better typings. (you could even mention pilo's CB set and when you mention Ground-type you can split that into the nearly unresisted STABs, less hazard damage, and better typing)

Beartic can attempt to use a Choice Band set to make use of its wide coverage and impressive Attack, though it is let down by its abysmal defensive profile and low Speed. Piloswine's greater bulk, additional Ground sub-typing, and access to Stealth Rock makes it a better Ice-type despite its lower Attack, while wallbreakers like Sawk and Lycanroc-N outclass it thanks to their greater Speed and better typing while having comparable power.
