Um... well it's creative and highly detailed, I'll give you that. But the idea of forcing other pokémon into it is just to off the wall and would never work as a real Pokemon. It probably would be best if you dropped the Infected part.

On another note, you might want to consider dropping the Normal type and possibly replacing it with Dark or Ghost.

As cool as the Infected Status is, it's a bit too extreme as I'm sure everyone will agree. Since this Pokemon has no spikes, I think it should keep it's Carrier ability, but change it from causing infected status to causing badly poisoned status. (Plaguebite too) Other than that, very cool suggestions!

The infected status sounds a little scary, considering the horrible interspecies implications of its effects. (Now I wonder how many days would it take for a zombie bear apocalypse to occur once they get released into the wild.)
Overall the idea is still awesome; since, as you said, you can change every other effect to poison anyway.
EDIT:
I can't believe I got ninja'd five times... I got to type faster.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I knew that Infected would never fly as a Status, but as the concept was quite literally "zombie apocalypse" I felt I should throw it in there anyway. The idea of changing it to Badly Poisoned is a good one and has been implemented.

Zombie apocalypse caused by bears, yet another thing to add to my list of ways the world might (but most likely won't) end.

Edit:

Cacapulse, I don't think it counts as being Ninja'd if there is a 6 minute gap.

I'm not entirely certain on the movesets. What do you guys think? Zombear is intended to be a real physical powerhouse, but Infektedd has a bit of room to move, and I'm willing to take on suggestions over the movesets. Are they too offense-focused, even for a power beater? And do you think I have room to simply slot in some new moves without removing older ones, as long as I rearrange the levels? Not so sure what the basic unwritten rules are on move limits and the like, so I went conservative.

As far as I can tell (this is just my opinion), Zombear could use a few more moves in general, although it's really up to you to make the call.

If you want some suggestions, I would say add in a few slashing moves and maybe Recover and Endure to simulate the whole "nothing can kill a zombie" feel. But once again, it's all your decision.

I don't think a huge number of attacks is particularly neccessary, but if you want to add more, go for it. There's not really any "rules" and people will definitely let you know if you go overboard. Looking over them again, they really could use a couple more token non-damaging moves.

you've got a point with the huge number of moves, I mean look at Unown where part of their gimmick is that they only have one move (plus Struggle, but that's a given).

Man, gotta feel sorry for these bears. A bear somewhere had a disease so bad, it was incurable and highly contagious (and obviously hereditary) to the point that it expanded into an entire species that nobody wants to go near. They spend all their lives as lonely, crumbling, depressed, wracked with pain monsters feared by people and pokemon alike. It'd suck being one of them.

I'm for this suggestion.

Based on what you guys have said, I've removed Lick, Astonish, Aerial Virus, Shadow Punch and added in Recover, Faintfear, Infection, Crunch, Nightslash, Feed.Frenzy, Rage and Scary Face to really give Zombear that zombie feel. Also, he's been swapped to Dark/Poison, since Zombies are solid and thus it makes no sense for him to be rocking the Ghost-type. Plus I kinda like the fact that he's not 4x weak against Magic now. Infektedd remains Normal/Poison because he's not evil, just contagious.

Oooh, but Aerial Virus and Lick seemed good, like, how HORRIBLE would it be to be licked by one of these?!?!?! Dx

In fact the more I think about it, it's possible that this pokemon is an offshoot of the teddiursa/ursaring evo line, meaning that Infekkted is a cute little teddiursa with a probably terminal disease it can't die from. Where did that biohazard symbol come from? Did it paint it on itself, to warn others not to come near? And the scar? And it's evo makes it worse. The disease probably means that if it's not awake for long enough or conscious for long enough, the disease takes over and it becomes a huge zombie bear. A huge violent diseased contagious zombie bear. This is the first time I've been properly freaked out by a pokemon concept, after even spiritomb and the entirety of mystery dungeon 2 didn't faze me.

And the disease is incurable. It goes through it's entire lifespan diseased.

Aerial Virus is good, but Infection seems more appropriate. Mainly the whole fact that zombies conventionally have to injure you to infect you, and that it can stack on badly poisoned, which seems to be Zombear's theme. I could put Lick back in, in place of Howl. After all, Zombear is not a werebear. In fact, I think I will.

EDIT: RGB: There's a reason Infektedd is the exact same height and weight as Teddiursa

The scar is implied to be where Infektedd has been bitten/scratched by a Zombear and contracted the disease. And yeah, I would assume the biohazzard symbol is self-painted.

Even worse, what if a little Infektedd comes up to you with a cute face wanting love and companionship, and licks you in the same ways a puppy dog? Imagine it's face if you just run away. It'd be like abandoning a four year old who's got a bomb in their stomach that'll turn everything in it's blast radius into stone, and it could go off at any minute, but the child is all alone.

Seriously, that little bear is what makes the concept horrifying.

And oh so delicious at the same time. Lick has been added back in. Now even Infektedd gets Lick! Hooray!

Well, hey, the Dex specifically mentions that these guys are the stuff of nightmares and horror stories. They are truly horrific beasts. I'm tempted to fic them up. Now if only I had a scanner I'd take a crack at drawing them too. Eh, nevermind, the text description should suffice given it's basically just a big scary bear.
