Are you having problems catching Beldum?
Why are they so hard to catch?
I've tried everything.. hypnosis, low hp, dusk balls, ultra balls.. and they still pop out of the pokeball! Apparently the catch rate for them is 0.4%.. same catch rate as the legendaries! What the f***? Anyone else having problems catching this little critter? |
Never found one...but yeah, its' entire family's got a catch rate of 3 (0.4%) so it's going to be near impossible...in fact, due to it only knowing Take Down, then running out of PP and using Struggle, I'd say it's easier to catch legendaries than to capture Beldum
|
I've never ran into a Beldum, or caught one for that matter, so I've had no problems with them lol but from what Amore said, I can't believe their so hard to catch.
|
If you have a D.S or D.S lite i recommend buying and beating emerald if you really want one, but yeah it's near impossible to catch, and it's not really worth it considering it isn't too far up in the stats area, and since your laying DPP go pick up a lucario instead, it is a great steel pokemon and it's free.

Never even knew you could catch Beldum in Platinum, or about Swam until I read this topic...
I am so going to try and catch one just because I think it looks cool =3 |
Well I've actually caught 3 of them last night after throwing countless Ultra and Dusk Balls at them - I was trying to get a specific nature of them but I decided to give up since it was just getting too time consuming.

Beldum on the other hand will only appear in the game when there is a swarm for it. Once you have gone to the right area for the swarm the chances of them appearing will be high but catching them is a different story.. I found this out after catching countless of other swarm Pokemon within 2 or 3 Ultra or Dusk balls but after failing to catch one of them after 20 Ultra Balls I got somewhat suspicious.. Quote:

Good luck http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/d/d8/Morrison_Beldum.png |
Not really, I caught it within 3 Ultra Balls, lol. :X
If you have R/S/E, you can breed the Beldum Steven gave, and import it to Platinum. Or you can search for one in the Trade Corner if you have Wi-Fi. |
0.4% Catch? Are you kidding me?
That's just stupid. What's so amazing about them, anyways? When I used mine in Emerald, It wasn't that great from what I can remember. |

Anyway, I just trade in multiple Master Balls from a previous game, then use one of them to catch Beldum. |

And thanks for the luck, I'll definitely need it. |

That's in line with Ho-oh, Lugia, all of the trios in HG/SS and D/P/Pt etc Pretty amazing isn't it for a swarm Pokemon? |
Beldum is as hard to catch as most legendaries (Ho-0h, Lugia, Moltres, Entei, etc.)
I think its semi-reasonable because its final evolution is quite the *****. But for something that's not a legendary... and is an annoying kid to catch... I don't think a 3 catch rate is reasonable. Just toss balls at it and hope you get lucky. Or just import that one from R/S/E. I remember catching a Beldum. I swear, it took 500 balls. |
I had too look it up when I first got the Beldum Swarm (reset for it ) I wasted 99 Ultras on ONE!! Reset and treed again failed again but the 3rd time was the charm caught one on my 5th or 6th ball I can't remember I know it was under 10

Then I must've been very lucky then to have caught 3 last night.. |
I think I just used a Master Ball. And I can tell you, trying to chain for a shiny Beldum is a pain and a half. Because of the sandstorm on its route, you can't see which patch of grass is shaking half the time. I just gave up on the chain and captured a regular one.
And Metagross is indeed the epitome of awesome. |

in HG/SS if your willing you can give a Foretress for one
|
If your trying to catch Beldum you may as well be trying to catch Lugia.

I wasn't even trying to catch one and still managed to in Diamond. It didn't take long either. Um...don't hate me and throw things at me? :D
|
Lol.
I actually think Mantyke sounds worse to catch....it has a catch rate of 25, which is still lower than Dialga and Palkia in Platinum (30), but they can only be found on one route, too! And they have monstrous special defense, which makes them hard to weaken...and the higher level ones have Aqua Ring (46+). Oh, and then once you've caught it, you need to a Remoraid to evolve it! |

Oh i forgot to add my crazy lucky inspirational story, i was wandering from place to place in HG looking for items, but suddenly a Raikou appeared, so i threw a great ball at it just because i have like 80 of those, and i randomly caught it, i hope that gives you a second wind!
|
I can catch these little guys no problem!
I have like 2 in my box, didn't know they were that hard to capture... |
