hey, what did u think of those GBA pics? Zelos

It's a good idea, but I need to know a few more things - what version are they from? - 振霖T 07:12, 11 September 2005 (CDT)
its from emerald, how so? i have all those pics if u want it.Btw we could add it in the list aswell. Zelos
Hmm, if it's from Emerald, then shouldn't they be animated? - 振霖T
maybe, but where i got this pics they aint. But if they dont does it really matter? Zelos
Did you happen to get them from Serebii.net? His Emerald sprites aren't animated. We can't take sprites from someone else's site without permission. --Argy 11:58, 11 September 2005 (CDT)
have you tried to save a pic from that site? yo cant even copy text so how would i get the pictures from it? atleast i couldnt save them from that site. a friend gave me those, where he got them i dont know
The Emerald sprites are used as avatars in the forums there, and those can be saved easily. I am not accusing you of stealing (frankly, a sprite is a sprite no matter its origin). I am just trying to avoid inter-site conflicts (even though it is doubtful other sites would be able to tell the origin of our sprites). --Argy 15:46, 11 September 2005 (CDT)
good good

Sprites aside, I seem to have found somthng wrong in the game. The Beldums I've seen are at level 53, long after they should have evolved.

Pokémon don't have to evolve as soon as they are able to. Where did you see them? If it was an in-game trainer, then they often have Pokémon at levels where they could be a higher evolutionary form. --FabuVinny T-C-S 17:01, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Wild Beldums are naturally level 52 or 53, can't remember which. Jonah 17:03, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

I found it on route 228 during a mass outbreak.

But if they are past level 45, when they should have evolved into metagross, when do they evolve?

Pokémon can always delay evolution until any level after their evolution level. So, technicaly, Beldum can - but do not necessarily have to - evolve into Metang at any level from 20 to 100. --Pie ~ 17:44, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Sandstorm damage question

In the trivia section for Beldum it says:

"However, in Generation IV, Beldum can be found as a swarm on Route 228, making Beldum incredibly difficult to capture due to both its self-damaging move and the ever-present sandstorm."

However Steel types are not normally effected by Sandstorm, which does not hit Steel, Ground or Rock type pokemon. In my version of Pearl I have observed Beldum quite happily getting about in a Sandstorm without taking any damage from it.

Does the Sandstorm have some other effect on catch rates that I don't know about? If not, can someone confirm or deny the damage aspect so we can change the trivia? Castorquinn 14:53, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Sandstorm raises SpDef for all Steel, Rock, and Ground-types. So it's rather difficult to capture, since stat raises make Pokémon hard to catch ((not sure about that)) Tina 17:51, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
that's when sandstorm is used as a move, if sandstorm is just the normal weather, it will not affect stats. Donate a mudkip to 折り紙ガイ today! 18:30, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
Okay, so am I okay to remove the reference to the sandstorm weather effect from that line of trivia? All the other information is accurate. Castorquinn 23:16, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
