Is Beheeyem Good in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Playthrough?

Psychic with 125 Special Attack and 95 Special Defense. AbilitySynchronize passes status back. The 40 Speed means everything goes first, but the bulk absorbs the hit and the counterattack is powerful. A slow cannon.

Pokedex Entry

Apparently, it communicates by flashing its three fingers, but those patterns haven’t been decoded.

It uses psychic power to control an opponent’s brain and tamper with its memories.

Beheeyem Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Beheeyem has a 485 base stat total and ranks as C-Tier: a niche pick in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire's meta. It works best as a support. Psychic with Choice Band is the standard set.

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, 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 Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Beheeyem fills the support 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 Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, the core moveset is Psychic, Barrier, Dark Pulse, and Energy Ball. Psychic leads at 0% 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.
