Breeding's the move. Ally Switch and Astonish give Beheeyem options it can't learn any other way, and coverage across 7 types already covers a decent range on top of Synchronoise and Dream Eater. The egg moves push it further.

How to Get Beheeyem in X & Y

No wild encounters for Beheeyem in X & Y. Bring Elgyem over from Black, Black 2, or Sword, then level through the stages. Each step in the chain is laid out below.

How to Obtain Beheeyem in X & Y

  1. Elgyem
    Step 1Obtain Elgyem

    Catch in the wild in:

    Omega RubyWalking · Mt. Pyre · DexNav chain

    Then trade to X & Y to continue the evolution chain.

  2. Beheeyem
    Step 2Beheeyem ✓

Beheeyem Guide

  • In X & Y, Beheeyem has a 485 base stat total and ranks as C-Tier: a niche pick in X & Y's meta. It works best as a wallbreaker. Psychic with Choice Specs is the standard set.

  • In X & Y, Beheeyem's biggest threats include Scyther (Bug), Chandelure (Ghost), and Weavile (Dark), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. At base 40 Speed, Beheeyem won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.

  • Telepathy is the go-to ability for Beheeyem. It protects against friendly Pokémon's damaging moves. Its hidden ability Analytic can work in specific setups. Synchronize is the other option. Pick based on what your team needs.

  • In X & Y, Beheeyem fills the wallbreaker role. It's a special attacker with base 125 Sp. Atk. Base 40 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.

  • For X & Y, the core moveset is Psychic, Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, and Nasty Plot. Psychic leads at 25% usage. Psychic provides reliable STAB damage.

Game Availability

Introduced in Black & White, Beheeyem has appeared in 7 games across 6 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
