Beldum (Japanese: ダンバル Dumbber) is a Steel/Psychic-type Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Beldum is robotic lifeform that has 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.

Gender differences

This Pokémon is genderless.

Special abilities

Beldum's body is magnetized, 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.
