'''Beldum''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ダンバル''' ''Dumbber'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Metang}} starting at [[level]] 20, which evolves into {{p|Metagross}} starting at level 45.

Beldum is a robotic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} 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 spherical head, which is set into a ball-and-socket joint at its front end. A short crest projects from its body and extends over its head.

Even though Beldum is mechanical, it still has emotions, the need to eat, and a way of reproducing. Beldum's body lacks blood, and is instead made of cells that are all magnets. It uses magnetism to move, communicate, and control its attacks. Beldum sometimes gathers in swarms, communicating with each other telepathically and magnetically and moving in sync. When enraged, it can cause nearby machines to break from its strong magnetism. Beldum can also use its magnetic force to rapidly pull in enemies and then use its sharp claws to harm them. Beldum is scarce in the wild, but it does tend to inhabit areas with {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|rugged terrain}}. It anchors itself to a cliff using its hooks when it sleeps.

===Evolution===

Beldum evolves into {{p|Metang}}, which evolves into {{p|Metagross}}.

====[[Morrison's Beldum]]====

Beldum debuted in ''[[AG118|Less is Morrison]]'', under the ownership of [[Morrison]]. It evolved into a Metang in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'' during Morrison's [[Ever Grande Conference]] battle against {{OBP|Jump|AG126}}. It was mostly seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside its Poké Ball]].

===Minor appearances===

In ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', a Beldum was on the Cianwood Greens Pokémon Baccer team with a {{p|Metang}} and {{p|Metagross}}, which competed in the [[Pokémon Baccer World Cup]]. It reappeared in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

==In the manga==

===Ash & Pikachu===

Similar to his anime counterpart, [[Morrison]] owns a Beldum. It appeared in ''[[SP31|A Clash Of Wills!! Eternal Rivals?!]]'', where it evolved into Metang.

===Pokémon Adventures===

{{Steven}} owns a large amount of Beldum that serve, along with a {{p|Metang}} and {{TP|Steven|Metagross}}, as miners that help him unearth rare stones in various caves around Hoenn. They first appeared in ''[[PS196|Ring Ring Goes Beldum]]''. These same Beldum were called upon to defeat the {{p|Mawile}} herd in [[Granite Cave]] when both {{adv|Ruby}} and Steven were attacked by them. Four of Steven's Beldum later formed the party that would unseal the {{TP|Brandon|legendary giants}}, which included {{adv|Sapphire}}'s {{p|Wailord|Lorry}} and {{p|Relicanth|Relly}}.

A Trainer's Beldum appeared in ''[[PASM19|Truth and the Mastermind Behind Team Skull]]''.

===Pokémon + Nobunaga's Ambition ~ Ranse's Color Picture Scroll ~===

A Beldum appeared in ''[[PNA3|The Yellow Scroll: Hanbei vs Kanbei]]''.

===Pokémon Omega Ruby Crimson Passion and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Indigo Wisdom===

Steven owns a Beldum in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby Crimson Passion and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Indigo Wisdom]].

==In the TCG==

{{main|Beldum (TCG)}}

[[File:374Beldum-Shiny.png|thumb|175px|Promotional artwork of a {{shiny}} Beldum for the {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} [[List of PAL region Nintendo Network event Pokémon distributions (Generation VI)#Steven.27s_Beldum|release event]]]]

* Beldum's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation III)|Hoenn Pokédex]] in [[Generation III]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] are the same: 190.

* Beldum, along with its evolved forms, are the only non-[[Legendary Pokémon]] to have a catch rate of 3, which is the lowest in existence.

* Beldum is the only member of a pseudo-legendary Pokémon evolutionary line that only learns one move by level up.

** In Generations [[Generation III|III]] to [[Generation VII|VII]], this move was {{m|Take Down}}, but in [[Generation VIII]], it was swapped for {{m|Tackle}}, even though Take Down was [[:Category:Moves usable in Pokémon Sword and Shield|not removed in the Generation VIII]] games.

* Beldum and its evolutions all share both their standard and hidden {{Abilities}} with {{p|Registeel}}.

* In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Beldum is the only in-game event Pokémon that is not a [[Legendary Pokémon]] that cannot be obtained with repeatable methods without trading.

 

Beldum seems to be a magnetic robot based on a {{wp|dumbbell}}. It also resembles a limb of a Metang or Metagross, a reference to how it evolves.

 

Beldum and Dumbber may be derived from ''{{wp|dumbbell}}'', a small weight used in weight training.
