Sometime prior toPokémon the Series: Sun & Moon, Bewear lived with her babyStufful, whom she loved very much. One day, she couldn't find Stufful, leaving her extremely dismayed. Unbeknownst to her, Stufful had been trapped under a fallen tree and was rescued byWicke of theAether Foundation, who then took it to her workplace to recover.
Ash andPikachu first met Bewear inAlola to New Adventure! after they got lost in a forest while chasing aGrubbin. Ash and Pikachu greeted her with a smile, but panicked and ran off upon seeing Bewear destroying trees nearby in joy. Bewear eventually lost the two afterTapu Koko distracted her, and she sighed sadly.
Bewear metJessie,James,Meowth, andWobbuffet inLoading the Dex!, taking Jessie and James away frombattle and to her den in the forest, while Meowth, Wobbuffet andMimikyu followed them. InFirst Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!, after Jessie caught Mimikyu at the den, Bewear proceeded to give them some honey before heading off. A tribe of wildPikipek andTrumbeak soon came and stole all of theBerries in Bewear's den, soTeam Rocket agreed to not only catch thePokémon, but return the Berries to Bewear out of gratitude for giving Team Rocket food and shelter. When Bewear picked up Team Rocket to take them back to the den, they had only retrieved the Berries.
Bewear has since been seen dragging Team Rocket away from a battle before they could be sent blasting off, or even succeed in their plans.
InSecuring the Future!, Bewear prevented the trio from interfering in the latest crisis to hit Alola. She later encouraged them to assist in showeringNecrozma with light so it could return to itsnormal form.
InBeauty is Only Crystal Deep!, Bewear found her den damaged after aPheromosa attacked Jessie and James and stole theirZ-Crystals. Later, she found Pheromosa battling Jessie, James, and theUltra Guardians. Seeing that Jessie, James, and Meowth were hurt, Bewear flew into a rage and attacked theUltra Beast, easily defeating it. Afterwards, she retrieved the stolen Z-Crystals and took Team Rocket back to her den.
InSpying for the Big Guy!, Team Rocket,having previously lied about having captured Bewear, learned thatMatori was on her way to Alola to bring Bewear back toKanto with her. As a result, they attempted tocatch Bewear, but she crushed thePoké Ball to dust. Later, when Team Rocket were attempting to catchGrandpa Forest, Bewear and Stufful showed up and took the trio, along with Matori and herAlolanMeowth, back to its den. That night, while Bewear was out swimming, Matori captured Stufful and was in the process of taking it back to Kanto when the trio intervened, distracting her and covertly substituting Stufful for Meowth. Soon after Matori realized this, Bewear broke through the window and rescued Meowth. Later, when Matori attempted to contact the trio, Bewear answered, which scared Matori. Bewear then crushed the communication device to dust.
InLeague Offenders and Defenders!, it was revealed that Team Rocket had built a hot spring for Bewear and Stufful to keep them from spiriting them away during their participation in theManalo Conference, along with a robot modeled afterOranguru to tend to their needs. The plan was successful for the most part, as the mother and child spent the duration of the conference relaxing and spending quality time together. However, after the Oranguru robot broke down at the end of the conference inEnter the Champion!, Bewear had no reason to stay and began rushing over toManalo Stadium with Stufful to retrieve her guests. On her way there, Bewear saw anUltra Wormhole forming over the stadium.
InZ-Move Showdown!, Bewear arrived in Manalo Stadium to find Team Rocket about to be devoured by aGuzzlord. She saved the trio, but when Stufful was put in danger, Bewear turned her attention to defending her child. Guzzlord then started to land powerful blows on Bewear, much to Team Rocket's horror. Demonstrating how much they'd come to care for Bewear and Stufful, the trio abandoned their plans to steal the Pokémon competing in the Manalo Conference and used the mecha they were piloting to save Bewear and Stufful and carry them back to Melemele Island.
InThank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!, Team Rocket received an order fromGiovanni to return to theTeam Rocket HQ. Before departing, the trio thanked Bewear for her hospitality while in Alola and shared one last hug with her. Bewear then assisted their flight back to Kanto by hurling their balloon away. Bewear was later seen at her den, watching Stufful, Mimikyu, andMareanie play.
InAll Out, All of the Time!, Bewear was reunited with Team Rocket after they crash-landed in the hot spring next to her den. Overwhelmed by seeing her friends again, she gave them one of her traditional crushing hugs.
Personality and characteristics

Bewear is a friendly and very hospitable Pokémon, especially towardsTeam Rocket, of whom she is very protective. As such, she developed a habit of rescuing them before they can be blasted off byAsh andhis classmates. She seems to have an uncanny ability to know Team Rocket's location, regardless of how far away they are. As such, she goes to astoundingly and unrealistically great lengths to ensure Team Rocket's safety, even going all the way toKanto to bring them back in one occasion. However, Bewear's rescues can also be unreliable; inThe Sun, the Scare, the Secret Lair!, Bewear "rescued" the trio just before they were going to defeat Ash and his Pokémon in a fair fight. She has also once taken Jessie away moments before she could get an autograph fromOluolu. Though they go to similarly great lengths to make sure they aren't rescued by her, Team Rocket has come to appreciate Bewear's hospitality, to the point where Jessie tried to share some malasadas with her, an act she would almost never do.
Bewear is extremely strong. This was best demonstrated inA Mission of Ultra Urgency!, when she encountered aBuzzwole and was able to hold her own against it. Thanks to her strength, she was also able to perform seemingly impossible feats, like jumping across rooftops inA Shocking Grocery Run!, flying through the air by using her legs as a propeller inBig Sky, Small Fry!, and running across the surface of the ocean from Kanto to Alola for at least three days inWhen Regions Collide!. Her strength was seen once again inBeauty is Only Crystal Deep!, where she was able to easily defeat aPheromosa in battle.
Bewear enjoys hot springs and can be in them longer than normal humans and Pokémon, as seen in thePoké Problem ofI Choose Paradise!. Bewear's love of hot springs was seen again inLeague Offenders and Defenders!, when Team Rocket built her a hot spring outside her den. Bewear also enjoys putting on a display whilst in the hot spring, as seen inThe Battlefield of Truth and Love!, where she and Stufful performed for a crowd that had gathered there.
