Beheeyem Black & White Guide
In Black & White, Beheeyem has a 485 base stat total and ranks as C-Tier: a niche pick in Black & White's meta. It works best as a wallbreaker. Calm Mind with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Black & White, 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 Black & White, 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 Black & White, the core moveset is Calm Mind, Thunderbolt, Psyshock, and Psychic. Calm Mind leads at 0% usage. Psyshock 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.
