Beldum is a mysterious Pokemon introduced in Generation III, and it was for a very long time one of the strongest Pseudo-Legendaries thanks to its combination of the Steel/Psychic types. In Pokemon Legends Z- A, it evolves into Metang, acquiring even more strength, and later becomes Metagross, a powerhouse that is able to measure forces against the strongest Pokemon in the roster.

But Metagross is not the end of the line for this incredible Pokemon: Mega Metagross is back for revenge in Legends Z-A. And if players are wondering where to get Beldum and how to evolve it into its final form, they will find all the information on spawning spots, Mega Stone location, and stats in this guide.

Where To Catch Beldum in Pokemon Legends Z-A

Beldum is one of the few end-game Pokemon that players won't be able to find until they unlock Lysandre Labs, which happens during Main Mission Nº 35: Reaching Rank A. After talking to Grisham and entering Lysandre Labs, players should turn to the purple area in the extreme western corner of the map, and they'll find a spawn spot for Beldum and sometimes Metang there.

It is highly recommended that they save the game before entering the room, as Beldum has an extremely low catch rate, and getting one will be really difficult on the first try. It is also worth noting that Beldum is a Pokemon with a relatively high weight, so using a Heavy Ball is one of the best choices for increasing the chances of catching it.

If players are lost and need to figure out how long it will take for them to catch Beldum, they can check our directory for all the Main Missions in Pokemon Legends Z-A.

How To Evolve Beldum in Pokemon Legends Z-A

Beldum evolves at level 20 into Metang, learning Confusion and Metal Claw, and when it reaches level 45, it evolves into Metagross. Metagross is a solid Physical Attacker, but it also has some good defensive qualities and some spare Special Attack. Metagross evolves into Mega Metagross by making it hold Metagrossite, acquired at Quasartico Inc. For 360 Mega Shards (unlocked after Mission 30).

Mega Metagross

Metagross BST (Base Stat Total) is 600, which changes to 700 when evolving into Mega Metagross. These Stats are distributed as follows:

  • HP: 80 (+0)
  • Atk: 135 (→ 145)
  • Def: 130 (→ 150)
  • Sp. Atk: 95 (→ 105)
  • Sp. Def: 90 (→ 110)
  • Speed: 70 (→ 110)

As players might have noticed, Mega Metagross receives a considerable Stat Boost on all stats (except HP), which are more inclined on the side of Physical Attack and Defense.

The ideal Moveset for Metagross/Mega Metagross consists of Thunder Punch, Zen Headbutt, Bullet Punch (or Psycho Cut), and Iron Head. Remember using Seeds of Mastery to turn these moves into Plus Moves, which are stronger and even more so if they are super effective.
