*Beldum's number in the [[hdex|Hoenn Dex]] and the [[fdex|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's number in the [[hdex|Hoenn Dex]] and the [[fdex|Fiore Browser]] is 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 possible. In [[Generation III]], this low catch rate would never take effect, unless the player is [[cheating]] or encountering a {{p|Ditto}} that transforms into Beldum. However, in [[Generation IV]], Beldum can be found as a swarm on {{rt|228}}, making Beldum extremely difficult to capture due to its self-damaging move, {{m|Take Down}} and the everlasting {{m|Sandstorm}}, which hurts all but {{t|Steel}}-, {{t|Rock}}-, and {{type2|Ground}}s for 1/16 of their health every turn. | * Beldum, along with its evolved forms, are the only non-legendary Pokémon to have a catch rate of 3, which is the lowest possible.

A non-damaging weather move followed by a Ghost-type Pokemon makes catching it significantly easier. | ||

* Despite depictions of Beldum levitating in the {{pkmn|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 {{a|Levitate}}. However, as of [[Generation IV]], Beldum's evolution {{p|Metang}} can learn {{m|Magnet Rise}} which simulates Levitate for a short period of time. | * Despite depictions of Beldum levitating in the {{pkmn|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 {{a|Levitate}}.
