Beheeyem (Japanese: オーベム Ohbem) is a Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves from Elgyem starting at level 42.

Biology

Beheeyem is a brown extraterrestrial Pokémon with an oblong head that features depressions on both sides. It has black, symmetrical lines going down the front of its head. Under the rim of its head, there lay two green eyes with small black pupils. It has a lighter brown "collar" and four dots on its chest of the same color. Beheeyem's arms have three finger-like digits: one red, one green, and one yellow. It has a rim underneath its main body, under which are two small legs.

Beheeyem communicates by flashing its multi-colored fingers in patterns; these patterns have yet to be decoded. Beheeyem can manipulate the memories of its opponents, being able to erase or even rewrite them. Beheeyem is believed to be responsible for the mysterious disappearances of Dubwool whenever it visits a farm. It is sometimes found hovering over wheat fields.

Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.

• Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon: Three Beheeyem first appear when they attack the player at the start of the game. While the player and Nuzleaf lose them fairly quickly, they are mentioned multiple times during their stay in Serene Village. It is eventually revealed that these three Beheeyem, along with Nuzleaf, are being controlled by Dark Matter and possess the ability to turn Pokémon to stone as a result. One of them eventually breaks free from Dark Matter's control and flees to the player and partner for help. After Dark Matter has been defeated, the three Beheeyem settle down in Serene Village.

	Spoilers end here.

Major appearances

Beheeyem debuted in Beheeyem, Duosion, and the Dream Thief!, under the ownership of Leon, a.k.a. the "Dream Thief". Beheeyem had befriended Meowth so that Leon could lure Ash and his friends into a trap. It later kidnapped Pikachu, Axew, and Meowth while they were sleeping, replacing them all with dolls. It also stole Ash, Iris, and Cilan's on-hand Pokémon while they slept.

In Capacia Island UFO!, multiple Beheeyem were searching for a koban that fell in Capacia Island when their flying saucer crashed there. They had hypnotized the town's population to help them in their search.

A Beheeyem appeared in The Future I Choose, under the ownership of Spinel. Spinel's Beheeyem has since made further appearances in Pokémon Horizons: The Series.

Trivia

• In Generations VI and VII, Beheeyem could learn Steel Wing via TM51. This may be a reference to Area 51.

Origin

Beheeyem seems to be based on greys, one of the more popular kinds of alien. Judging from Elgyem's Pokédex entry, they may also be based on the Area 51 alien conspiracy theories or the Roswell incident. Additionally, Beheeyem's design resembles a person wearing a hat and trench-coat and is likely based on stereotypical spies, shady figures, "Men in Black", or government agents in connection with alien sightings. The shape of Beheeyem's head and body are reminiscent of some interpretations of the Flatwoods monster. The colored fingers on its hands resemble the colorful faces of the invaders in the 1953 War of the Worlds film; the aliens in the film had green, blue and red dots just like Beheeyem's Shiny coloration. The saucer-shaped underside of its head might be a reference to the common shape of UFOs.

The flashing patterns of its fingers may have been inspired by the 1977 sci-fi film Close Encounters of the Third Kind, particularly the iconic scene where flashing color and sound patterns are used to communicate with the alien mothership. Its rock-like design may reference Japanese Dogū statues, which have often been confused for alien artifacts. Considering its species names, physical appearance, and powers, it may also be based on a brain.

Its connection with the disappearances of Dubwool and lingering over wheat fields are likely references to common alien behaviours in fiction - abduction of livestock and burning crop circles into farmland.

Name origin

Beheeyem may be a corruption of the abbreviation BEM (bug-eyed monster, a depiction of extraterrestrials as grotesque creatures with oversized eyes).

Ohbem may be a combination of 大 ō (large) and BEM (pronounced as a single word in Japanese).
