Beldum (Japanese: ダンバル Dumbber) is a dual-type Steel/Psychic Pokémon.
It evolves into Metang starting at level 20, who evolves into Metagross starting at level 45.
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
Beldum is a genderless species.
Special abilities
Beldum's body is magnetised, 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.
Behavior
Beldum sometimes gather in swarms, communicating with each other telepathically.
Habitat
Beldum are scarce in the wild, but they do tend to inhabit areas with rugged terrain. Also, when they sleep, they anchor themselves to a cliff using their hooks.

Trivia
- Beldum's number in the Hoenn Pokédex and the Fiore Browser is the same: 190. This makes it one of thirteen Pokémon (only five evolution families) to have the same numbers in more than one Pokédex-like listing.
- 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 extremely difficult to capture due to its self-damaging move (Take Down) and the everlasting Sandstorm, which hurts all but Steel-, Rock-, and Template:Type2s for 1/16 of their health every turn.
- Up until Pokémon Platinum, Beldum could not learn any move except Take Down and incidentally could not damage Template:Type2 Pokémon outside of Struggle.
- All damaging tutor moves Beldum can learn are head-based attacks with flinch as a secondary effect.
- Despite depictions of Beldum levitating in the anime and Pokédex entries noting that they are able to float through the air by employing powerful electromagnetic waves, Beldum does not have the ability Levitate. However, as of Generation IV, Beldum's evolution Metang can learn Magnet Rise which simulates Levitate for a short period of time.
- Beldum's evolutionary family evolves into their next-stage forms the earliest of all the pseudo-legendaries - Beldum into Metang at level 20, and Metang into Metagross at level 45.
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.
In other languages
- German: Tanhel - Anagram of Hantel (dumbbell).
- French: Terhal - From haltère (dumbbell).
- Korean: 메탕 Metang
- Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong): 鐵啞鈴 Tié Yǎ Líng - Literally "Iron dumbell".
