Beheeyem

Like Elgyem, Beheeyem looks as if it had stepped out of a story about visitors from another world, but its silhouette takes things a step further: elongated head, low body, and a shape reminiscent of an alien in a hat and trench coat. Its fingers, tipped in red, green, and yellow, give off flashes that could be a language; no one has deciphered those patterns yet.

Pokédex entries present it as a creature capable of controlling its opponents’ brains and altering their memories. It does more than confuse them: those memories may have been erased or rewritten without the victim knowing. It is also linked to Dubwool disappearing from farms and sightings over wheat fields, a combination that fits stories of abductions and flying saucers.

It is 1 m tall and weighs 34.5 kg. It evolves from Elgyem, a line with a single evolution that reaches its final form upon reaching level 42. Its brainy extraterrestrial appearance and communication through colored lights define the entire species.

Beheeyem is not a common choice in demanding battles. Its stats concentrate its value in Special Attack, with 125, while HP, Attack, and Defense remain at 75; Special Defense reaches 95 and Speed drops to 40. It hits hard, but it needs to move late or have support so it does not go down before it can act.

The ability that best suits this spread is Analytic: it powers up the move if the Pokémon is the last to attack. Trick Room turns its low Speed into a temporary advantage, and Calm Mind lets it raise its Special Attack and Special Defense before applying pressure. Recover offsets some of the wear and tear, while Psychic is its main attack. Thunderbolt covers targets that resist Psychic, and Shadow Ball adds an answer against Ghost-type opponents.

The Psychic type gives it STAB and resistances to Fighting and Psychic, but also leaves it exposed to Bug, Ghost, and Dark. Telepathy does have a clear role in double battles, since it prevents damage from allies’ attacks, although it does nothing to fix its sluggishness. Without Trick Room, fast attackers and Dark-type moves usually force it out; Steel types can also hold back its attacks if it lacks suitable coverage. In a regular playthrough, it works as a slow special attacker once its answers have been weakened or when the team can keep Trick Room active.

Beheeyem belongs to the Human-Like Egg Group and has a 50% gender split. Its eggs require 20 cycles, equivalent to approximately 5355 steps using the usual hatching formula. The species does not receive Egg Moves in this generation, so its movepool is built through level-up, TMs, and a move tutor.

The evolution is straightforward: Elgyem evolves into Beheeyem upon reaching level 42. No stones, friendship, or time-of-day conditions are involved.

Its catch rate is 90. That puts it well away from easy catches: a Poké Ball without help has considerably worse odds than against a species with a high catch rate, so it is best to weaken it and inflict a status condition. In Sword and Shield, it appears in areas such as Lake of Outrage and Bridge Field, as well as in Dynamax Adventures from the Expansion Pass.
