Pokédex entries
What each game says about it, in the games' own words.
| Ruby | Instead of blood, a powerful magnetic force courses throughout BELDUM’s body. This POKéMON communicates with others by sending controlled pulses of magnetism. |
| Sapphire | BELDUM keeps itself floating by generating a magnetic force that repels earth’s natural magnetism. When it sleeps, this POKéMON anchors itself to a cliff using the hooks on its rear. |
| Emerald | When BELDUM gather in a swarm, they move in perfect unison as if they were but one POKéMON. They communicate with each other using brain waves. |
| FireRed / LeafGreen | It uses magnetic waves to converse with its kind. All the cells in its body are magnetic. |
| Diamond / Pearl / Platinum / Black / White / Y | It converses with others by using magnetic pulses. In a swarm, they move in perfect unison. |
| HeartGold / SoulSilver / X | The magnetic force generated by its body repels the ground’s natural magnetism, letting it float. |
| Black 2 / White 2 | Its cells are all magnetic, and it communicates with others by using magnetic pulses. |
| Omega Ruby | Instead of blood, a powerful magnetic force courses throughout Beldum’s body. This Pokémon communicates with others by sending controlled pulses of magnetism. |
| Alpha Sapphire | Beldum keeps itself floating by generating a magnetic force that repels earth’s natural magnetism. When it sleeps, this Pokémon anchors itself to a cliff using the hooks on its rear. |
| Sun | Its cells are all magnets. It uses magnetism to communicate with others of its kind. |
| Moon | With magnetic traction, it pulls its opponents in close. When they’re in range, it slashes them with its rear claws. |
| Ultra Sun | Instead of blood, magnetism flows through its body. When it’s feeling bad, try giving it a magnet. |
| Ultra Moon | If you anger it, it will do more than rampage. It will also burst out strong magnetism, causing nearby machines to break. |

Official data here is present-day reference data from PokéAPI, not a snapshot of any one game's era — the Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived partway through the series, so a difference against an older game can belong to the series rather than to that ROM hack.
