Trivia

  • Beldum and its evolutions are the only non-legendary Pokémon to have a catch rate of 3.

Origin

Beldum is likely based on a space probe or satellite (particularly the Hubble Space Telescope), planktonic crab larvae, a human thumb, a bullet, and possibly a dumbbell. Beldum somewhat resembles the N64 incarnations of Beamos, artificial enemies from the Zelda series that shoot lasers from their single eyes.

Etymology

Beldum and Danbaru are the word dumbbell but with the words switched around and then simplified.
