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.
Whenever a Beheeyem visits a farm, a Dubwool mysteriously disappears.
Sometimes found drifting above wheat fields, this Pokémon can control the memories of its opponents.

Breeding's the move. Astonish and Destiny Bond give Beheeyem options it can't learn any other way, and coverage across 7 types already covers a decent range on top of Future Sight and Psychic. The egg moves push it further.

Beheeyem has a 485 base stat total and ranks as C-Tier — a situational pick that fills a niche. It works best as a wallbreaker. Base 125 Sp. Atk is where it shines.
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.
Elgyem evolves into Beheeyem at level 42. Beheeyem is the fully evolved form. At 485 BST, it's got solid stats to work with.
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.
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.
