Beheeyem possesses a distinctly alien appearance that reinforces its mysterious, extraterrestrial nature. Its brown, oblong head features characteristic depressions on both sides and is marked by symmetrical black lines running down its front, creating an otherworldly visage. Beneath a pronounced rim, two green eyes with small black pupils gaze with an intelligence that hints at its formidable psychic capabilities. A lighter brown collar encircles its body, adorned with four dots of the same color on its chest. Most notably, Beheeyem's three-fingered hands each display a different color—red, green, and yellow—which serve as its primary means of communication by flashing in undeciphered patterns. Beneath its main body lies a secondary rim beneath which two small legs provide locomotion, giving Beheeyem a floating, otherworldly quality as it hovers above the ground.
Beheeyem exhibits a perfectly balanced gender ratio of 50% male to 50% female, offering equal breeding opportunities regardless of which sex a trainer possesses. With a base friendship value of 70, Beheeyem is reasonably affable, making it compatible with friendship-based evolutions and bonding mechanics, though it is not a friendship-evolution dependent Pokémon. The species belongs to the Human-Like Egg Group, which is characteristic of Pokémon displaying humanoid characteristics and intelligence, aligning with Beheeyem's apparent sapience and psychic mastery. The species has an egg hatch counter of 20 cycles, which translates to approximately 4,884 to 5,140 steps before a Beheeyem egg hatches, placing it in the moderate incubation range. The capture rate of 90 indicates that Beheeyem is relatively easy to catch in the wild, making it accessible to trainers at various skill levels.

Beheeyem evolves from Elgyem through standard leveling, requiring the pre-evolution to reach level 42 to trigger the transformation. This evolution represents a significant jump in power and sophistication, with Beheeyem's Special Attack increasing substantially from Elgyem's base 60 to an impressive 125, establishing it as a potent special attacker in any team composition. The evolution also grants increased durability with Special Defense rising to 95, allowing Beheeyem to withstand special attacks more effectively than its smaller counterpart. Upon evolution, Beheeyem gains access to a broader movepool and becomes eligible for competitive play at higher levels. There are no Mega Evolution or alternate forms available for Beheeyem, making this straightforward evolution the sole path for trainers seeking to maximize their Elgyem's potential.

Beheeyem is renowned for its extraordinary psychic abilities, particularly its capacity to manipulate and rewrite the memories of its opponents. According to Pokédex entries, it can erase memories or fundamentally alter them using its powerful psychic powers, a trait that makes it both fascinating and unsettling to researchers. The Pokémon communicates exclusively through flashing patterns in its three multi-colored fingers, a language that has yet to be decoded by human scientists despite decades of study. Beheeyem is often found drifting above wheat fields and farms, leading to mysterious circumstances—whenever this Pokémon visits agricultural areas, Dubwool inexplicably vanish, suggesting a connection between Beheeyem's presence and these disappearances. In addition to its memory-manipulating abilities, Beheeyem has demonstrated the capacity to construct and pilot advanced spacecraft, using Amulet Coins as power sources, further supporting theories about its extraterrestrial origins.

The name Beheeyem derives from 'behave' and 'heyem,' with the latter portion possibly referencing 'them' or serving as an onomatopoeia for its communication style. The Japanese name Ohbem follows a similar construction, emphasizing the Pokémon's behavioral and communicative nature. The design itself is strikingly inspired by the archetypal 'grey alien' from popular UFO folklore, complete with an elongated head, large eyes, and a diminutive frame that evokes extraterrestrial imagery. The three differently-colored fingers—red, green, and yellow—are intentionally designed to resemble a communication interface or control system, reinforcing the concept that Beheeyem is an intelligent, technologically-capable species. The black symmetrical lines on its head suggest circuitry or neural pathways, while its overall brown coloration gives it an almost metallic, otherworldly appearance that distinguishes it from terrestrial Pokémon.

In competitive Pokémon battles, Beheeyem serves as a reliable special attacker with a base Special Attack stat of 125, making it capable of dealing significant damage to opposing teams. Its movepool includes powerful Psychic-type moves like Psychic and Imprison, along with coverage options obtained through leveling and TM usage, allowing trainers to construct diverse movesets tailored to specific threats. The Analytic hidden ability is particularly noteworthy in competitive play, as it increases the power of Beheeyem's moves to 1.3 times their normal damage when it moves last, rewarding passive team building strategies and speed control. Its Special Defense of 95 provides adequate bulk to survive many special attacks, though its low Speed stat of 40 necessitates external support through Choice Scarf, Trick Room, or priority moves to function optimally. The Telepathy ability offers team utility by preventing accidental damage from friendly Pokémon in double battles, while Synchronize can punish opponents who use status moves by copying burns, paralysis, or poison onto them.

Beheeyem evolved from elgyem.

Beheeyem can be found in unova route 14 (unova).
Beheeyem holds a significant place in Pokémon media and lore due to its mysterious, otherworldly nature and connection to extraterrestrial themes. The Pokémon appeared memorably in the anime episode 'Capacia Island UFO!,' where it was portrayed as the architect and controller of advanced spacecraft, cementing its role as an intelligent, technologically sophisticated species. This appearance introduced the concept that Beheeyem could hypnotize humans and Pokémon, forcing them to wear masks shaped like its visage while under its influence—a chilling detail that underscores its power and alien nature. The ongoing mystery surrounding its finger-flashing communication patterns has made Beheeyem a subject of fascination among fans and fictional researchers alike, inspiring countless theories and discussions within the Pokémon community. Its connection to mysterious farm disappearances and its presence above wheat fields have made it a fixture in rural Pokémon folklore, embodying the archetype of the inscrutable extraterrestrial visitor present in human mythology.
Beheeyem first became available to players in Generation V through the capture of its pre-evolution, Elgyem, with subsequent evolution at level 42. The Pokémon has maintained consistent availability across subsequent generations, appearing in the regional Pokédex of multiple games. In Pokémon Black and White, Beheeyem received a local Pokédex number of 112, while in Black 2 and White 2 it was assigned number 189. The species was included in the Alola Pokédex for Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon as entry 276, and more recently appeared in the Galar Pokédex in Pokémon Sword and Shield as number 278. With a capture rate of 90 and normal encounter mechanics, Beheeyem is relatively accessible to players willing to invest in leveling an Elgyem. The species' presence across multiple generations and regional variants demonstrates its importance to the Pokémon franchise, ensuring that trainers of all eras have opportunities to add this cerebral Pokémon to their teams.
