Beldum (Japanese: ダンバル Dumbber) is a Steel/Psychic-type Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Beldum is a robotic lifeform that has a long body with a set of claws sticking out of its rear end. It has one large red eye in the center of its nearly-round head, which is set into a ball-and-socket joint at its front end. It has a short crest above its head, projecting from its body. Even though Beldum and its evolved forms are mechanical creatures, they still have emotions, the need to eat and a way of reproducing. Beldum has been said to be related to Magnemite due to the fact that both of them are partially Steel-type that create electromagnetic waves to float in the air, and probably due to the fact that they evolve in a similar fashion, it takes two Beldum to evolve into a Metang and two Metang to evolve into a Metagross.
Gender differences
This Pokémon is genderless.
Special abilities
Beldum's body is magnetized, and it uses magnetism to move, communicate, and control its attacks. It is said to be related to Magnemite, but Beldum's magnetism focuses on Psychic moves instead of Electric moves. Beldum's skills in battle are extremely limited as it is only capable of using Take Down.

Trivia
- Beldum's evolution line are the only Pokémon to have the same numbers in two regional Pokédexes, being 190, 191, and 192 in both Hoenn and Fiore.
- Beldum, along with its evolved forms, are the only non-legendary Pokémon to have a catch rate of 3, which is the lowest possible. In Generation III, this low catch rate would never take effect, unless the player is cheating or encountering a Ditto that transforms into Beldum. However, in Generation IV, Beldum can be found as a swarm on Route 228, making Beldum difficult to capture due to its self-damaging move, Take Down.
Origin
Beldum seems to be a magnetic robot based on a dumbbell.
Name origin
Beldum's English and Japanese names are both derived from dumbbell, a small weight used in weight training. Its German name, Tanhel, is the anagram of Hantel. Its French name, Terhal, comes from haltère.
