In order to obtain Drain Punch, Trainers had to evolve Stufful into Bewear after the start of event and up to 2 hours after the end of event. Trainers cannot use TMs to obtain the attack.

Special Research
Strong Stuff is a Special Research campaign for Stufful Community Day. It cost $1 to access the Special Research. The Bewear in this research would know Drain Punch if it was caught during event hours.

*yawn* Hello, TRAINER... You’ll have to forgive my appearance, I was up late last night studying some nearby Rowlet. For as sleepy as they can be during the day, they sure perk right up at night! Maybe it’d help me relax if I had a soft, cute Pokémon to hug... Like Stufful! Stufful has an adorable appearance, but it hates to be hugged or touched in any way. Which is a shame because I’ve heard its fur is a delight to pet! I wonder if I’ll ever get the chance to snuggle one—for science, of course! Maybe you could bring me a Stufful, TRAINER? Just to look at!

TRAINER, you’re back! And you’ve brought a Stufful with you! It looks so soft and fluffy... Er-hem! Despite their looks, Stufful are incredibly dangerous Pokémon. A touch from anyone except a known friend sends Stufful into a surging frenzy! For both our sakes, maybe we’d better befriend it before we try to cuddle—I mean, continue our research, don’t you think? Why not try feeding Stufful a Berry or two, TRAINER. Perhaps we can get closer to it that way.

Your Stufful seems friendlier already, TRAINER! Speaking of friendly, have you heard that its Evolution—Bewear—has the habit of hugging its companions? Once Bewear accepts you as a friend, it tries to show its affection with a hug. But letting it do that is dangerous—it could easily shatter your bones! Many Trainers have left this world after their spines were squashed by its hug... While I don’t recommend you go hugging a Bewear anytime soon, there isn’t any harm in trying to meet one! Why don’t you evolve Stufful, TRAINER?

What a strong-looking Bewear you’ve come back with, TRAINER! What’s that? You say I look a bit more frazzled than usual? Well...I may have tried to pet Stufful while you were away, and its flailing sent me flying so far someone could’ve mistaken me for a bird Pokémon. Haha—ow... On the bright side, I did get to both pet Stufful and experience its strength firsthand! Come to think of it, I have a colleague studying Pokémon moves who’d love to hear all about this... I hope you’ve had more luck bonding with your new Stufful and Bewear companions, TRAINER. I think I’m going to bow out and grab an ice pack...or six. Thanks for all your help today! Take care, I’ll be in touch!
