What do the attacks on Beldum 1 cost, and what do they hit for?

Every attack printed on the card, with the Energy it asks for.

Beldum 1 — every printed attack, its cost and its damage
Attack	Energy cost	Cards of Energy	Printed damage	Damage per Energy	Effect
Call for Family	1 Colorless	1	—	—	Search your deck for a Basic Pokémon and put it onto your Bench. Shuffle your deck afterward.
Metal Ball	1 Psychic	1	—	—	Put 1 damage counter on the Defending Pokémon.

Retreating costs a further 1 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.

Metal Ball1 Energy card

What each attack asks a deck to attach before it can be used, drawn as the symbols printed on the card.

One Energy card attaches per turn, so the number of symbols is also the number of turns the attack waits.

This card places damage counters, which is not the same as dealing damage

Metal Ball puts damage counters on a Pokémon instead of dealing damage to it. The two look alike on the board — one counter is ten damage — but the rules treat them apart: anything that reduces or prevents damage does not stop counters from being placed, and weakness and resistance are not applied to them either.

What knocks out Beldum 1 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Of the 1,305 cards in the archive that can remove Beldum 1 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 30 printed damage against a bar of 25. Anything printed higher removes it just as surely, so this is where the line actually sits, and this print is legal in Standard play today.

What is Beldum as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?

Beldum 1 is one print of Beldum. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.

Beldum has been printed 27 times, and the printed numbers move from one print to the next. Point at a card to see it full size.Tap a card to open its page.

What has to be in play before Beldum 1 can be?

Beldum evolves from an earlier stage, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.

It is not the end of the line either — Metang evolves from this card, so a deck can keep going past it.
The line runs 3 stages, so the first card has to be in play 2 turns before this one can be.
Every print in the line shares Pokédex number 374.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (180 HP). The note beside each bar is the hardest attack printed at that stage.

Every print of a stage is counted, not just the one shown in the chain above, so the bar is the ceiling that stage has reached rather than one card from it.

Is this the strongest Beldum print, and can the older ones still be played?

27 prints carry this name in the archive, and 24 of them are laid out below. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.

Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (70 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

24 rows are shown of the 27 prints counted under this name.

5 of the 24 prints listed here are legal in Standard play. An older print of the same Pokémon is a different card for legality, because legality is read from the print rather than from the name — so owning the cheap old copy does not always mean you can enter with it.

Beldum 1 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Beldum 1?

Beldum 1 has 50 HP and a Psychic weakness at ×2, so a Psychic attack printed at 25 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 50.

What is the retreat cost of Beldum 1?

1 Energy, discarded from this card to move it out of the active spot. Retreating is allowed once per turn.

Does Beldum 1 deal damage or place damage counters?

It places damage counters. One counter is ten damage on the board, but the two are different things in the rules: weakness and resistance are not applied to counters, and effects that reduce or prevent damage do not stop counters from being placed.

Can an older Beldum print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 24 prints listed on this page, 5 are legal in Standard play. The rest can still be played in formats that accept them, and the table on this page names the regulation mark each print carries.

Can Beldum 1 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited play. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Beldum 1 is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
