Beldum (Japanese: ダンバル Dumbber) is a dual-type Steel/Psychic Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It evolves into Metang starting at level 20, which evolves into Metagross starting at level 45.

Biology

Beldum is a robotic Pokémon 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 rugged terrain. It anchors itself to a cliff using its hooks when it sleeps.

Evolution

Beldum evolves into Metang, which evolves into Metagross.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)
