The following episode, after Jessie catches, Bewear proceeds to give them some honey before heading off. A tribe of wild and  soon came and stole all of the Berries in Bewear's den, so  agreed to not only catch the Pokémon, but return the Berries to Bewear out of gratitude for what it did for them.

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, even going as far as to perform seemingly impossible feats like running on water to rescue them during Yo, Ho, Ho! Go, Popplio!, jumping across rooftops in A Shocking Grocery Run!, and flying through the air by using its legs as a propeller in Big Sky, Small Fry!.

In The Sun, the Scare, the Secret Lair!, decided to use Bewear's den as their base of operations whilst in Alola. They completed their new base in A Seasoned Search!.

Bewear is a friendly and very hospitable Pokémon. After bringing into its den, it began sharing the food it gathered with them and their Pokémon, and allowed them to stay. Bewear is very protective of Team Rocket, but its rescues can be unreliable. In The Sun, the Scare, the Secret Lair!, Bewear even "rescued" the trio just before they were going to defeat Ash and his Pokémon in a fair fight. It even went all the way to Kanto to rescue Team Rocket as seen in Alola, Kanto!. Bewear's hospitality towards Team Rocket was also shown in Young Kiawe Had a Farm!, where it was happy to lie and cuddle with them on a patch of grass. Its hospitality was so well taken by Team Rocket that Jessie even tried to share some malasadas with it, an act that she would almost never do.

Bewear likes to keep its den tidy, hefting large boulders above its head to clear them out from the area in front of its entrance. It also has enormous physical strength and agility, as shown by its ninja-like movements when rescuing Team Rocket, and in Getting to Know You! when, among being presented a gift of malasadas, it almost strangled Jessie with joy.
