Why is this thing such a bitch to catch?
Did gamefreak just really not want you to have a beldum midgame?

It couldn't be caught in RSE so it was just a hidden gag that's been grandfathered in.

What are you talking about? I encountered a lot of them looking for something else in the area and the one I caught was caught easily

They never set a catch rate for pokemon that are just given to you in-game as was the case for Beldum in RSE, so it's just been left to the default lowest value possible.

Catch rate of 3.

Beldum is as difficult to catch as most legendaries, because they forgot to update its catch rate when it became a regular wild Pokemon.

It has the same catch rate as Giratina/Kyurem/Necrozma/etc.

You just got lucky

Pseudos used to be in hidden areas so they got regular catch rates, but this fucker was a gift.
Pseudos used to be something special that you weren't supposed to have before late/post-game, but XY fucked everything up having them roaming around the second gym with the same catch rates they used to have when they where in hidden spots.

I actually got my first ever shiny pokemon this gen while I was searching for ditto. It was a beldum and I was sweating the whole time because of that take down recoil and that 3 catch rate. I ended up getting it though :)

I used my haunter to catch it, because take down doesn't effect him and used shadow ball to take care of any help beldum called and got him after about 20 ultraballs

Oh no I got one
I just had to actually use hypnosis to get it and some Mons I can just chuck an ultra ball at with full health and catch it.

Believe the formula is also affected by level, so while the base is the same, it's not as hard as the actual legends.

Anyone having genuine trouble catching it is not bringing any status moves.

Isn't that literally impossible because Beldum's weight gives the Heavy Ball a -20 catch rate penalty, giving you a negative chance to catch?

Level has nothing to do with catch rate.

It can't go lower than 1 I think, making Beast Ball Beldum and Heavy Ball Beldum among the hardest catches in the series.

There's something going on there, right?
I thought there was some weird math thing where having 1/100 HP was a bigger boost than having 1/10 HP, so in a round about way, the level does have an impact because it means more HP.
Don't quote me on that.

On a similar topic, what's a good catch pokemon for this game? Don't think there's a parasect for false swipe/spore combos this time, right?

I must have gotten lucky because it was literally the first thing I encountered on that mountain near the electric trial and I caught it in like three ultra balls.
