Under Trick Room, Beheeyem's terrible Speed becomes its best asset — it 'outspeeds' nearly everything when turns are reversed. And it hits hard enough to make that matter. Only weak to Bug, Ghost, and Dark. Been around since Gen 5.
Beheeyem's all-in on Sp. Atk at the expense of Speed. The special lean is obvious from the bars. Yields 2 Sp. Atk EVs and follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
Apparently, it communicates by flashing its three fingers, but those patterns haven’t been decoded.
Beheeyem Weakness
VulnerableType-wise, Beheeyem takes extra damage from Bug, Ghost, and Dark. With 75 HP and balanced defenses, Beheeyem can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.
- Fairy type does not exist — Dragon has fewer checks
- Physical / Special split now per-move (introduced Gen IV)

Breeding's the move. Astonish and Barrier 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.
