Stats & Training
Nothing fancy in Beldum's spread. It leans mixed with Defense out front. And you'll get 1 Defense EV per KO for it. Follows a slow 1.25M XP grind.
Instead of blood, a powerful magnetic force courses throughout BELDUM’s body. This POKéMON communicates with others by sending controlled pulses of magnetism.
BELDUM keeps itself floating by generating a magnetic force that repels earth’s natural magnetism. When it sleeps, this POKéMON anchors itself to a cliff using the hooks on its rear.
