Metal Chain is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), when you attach a Metal Energy card from your hand to Beldum (excluding effects of attacks or Poké-Powers), you may search your deck for Beldum and put it onto your Bench. Shuffle your deck afterward. This power can't be used if Beldum is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Take Down lists 30 damage. The cost is Metal, Colorless. Beldum does 10 damage to itself. Weakness is Fire +10. Resistance is Psychic -20. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "It converses with others by using magnetic pulses. In a swarm, they move in perfect unison."

I keep a set binder for Legends Awakened, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Legends Awakened set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Beldum can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
