Beheeyem

General overview of Beheeyem

Beheeyem is a Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in the Unova region. It is known by its French name Neitram and its Japanese name オーベム. This Pokémon is the direct evolution of Elgyem, called Lewsor in French and リグレー in Japanese. Beheeyem stands out for its extraterrestrial appearance and its highly marked strategic orientation toward special combat and opponent control.

In the Pokémon games, Beheeyem is primarily used for its powerful psychic moves and its access to a wide range of utility attacks. It is not designed for speed but excels in tactical battles where anticipation and turn management are essential.

Type and strategic characteristics

Beheeyem is a pure Psychic-type Pokémon. This type grants it excellent effectiveness against Fighting and Poison types, while making it vulnerable to Bug, Ghost, and Dark-type attacks. In competitive play, these weaknesses must be compensated through good positioning or partners capable of absorbing these threats.

Its stat profile is clearly oriented toward Special Attack and Special Defense. This makes it an excellent user of long-range Psychic moves, capable of dealing heavy damage while holding up well against opposing special hits.

Main strengths in battle

• Very high Special Attack to deal consistent damage

• Access to control moves such as Disable and Trick

• Good potential in strategic battles and in doubles format

Notable moves and abilities

Beheeyem's movepool is one of its greatest assets. It has classic Psychic moves such as Psychic, Psyshock, and Psybeam, as well as more technical options that allow it to disrupt the opponent. These attacks make it formidable in long battles.

Beheeyem can also learn coverage moves via TMs, including Electric or Dark-type moves, allowing it to surprise certain natural counters. Competitively, it is often played with a set focused on special damage and utility.

Examples of moves used

• Psychic for primary damage

• Psyshock to target the opponent's physical defense

• Thunderbolt for coverage against Water and Flying

• Trick to disrupt opposing held items

Evolution and Pokédex information

Beheeyem is the evolution of Elgyem starting at level 42. This evolution marks a significant gain in power and mental control, a central theme in the Pokédex entries. The entries describe Beheeyem as a Pokémon capable of manipulating memories and altering the perceptions of its enemies.

Its number in the Unova Pokédex underlines its late-game role, which explains its more specialized stats. It is not aimed at beginners but rewards players who have mastered the game's battle mechanics well.

Beheeyem in the Pokémon Trading Card Game

In the Trading Card Game, Beheeyem regularly appears as a control- or disruption-oriented card. Its card effects are often linked to manipulating the opponent's hand, memories, or energies, which fits its lore perfectly.

Certain Beheeyem cards have particularly useful Psychic effects in limited competitive formats. Although rarely ranked among the most powerful cards, it remains appreciated by collectors for its design and its unique extraterrestrial theme.

Interest for collectors

• Atypical and recognizable design

• Cards focused on control and strategy

• Regular presence in Unova-themed sets

Optimal use for players

Beheeyem is a Pokémon that requires a solid understanding of the game to be fully exploited. It excels in control-oriented or balanced teams, where it can apply mental pressure on the opponent while dealing consistent damage. In both singles and doubles, it finds its place thanks to its versatility and its strong strategic identity.

For players looking for a Psychic Pokémon different from the classic options, Beheeyem represents a solid and original choice, both in the main games and in the Pokémon TCG.
