[SET COMMENTS]
Beheeyem acts as a defensive pivot that is able to use Future Sight and then pivot out into a partner with Teleport. Recover gives it sustainability, letting it switch reliably and constantly into walls and weaker attackers such as Tangela, Miltank, and Gurdurr. Thunderbolt is Beheeyem's best coverage option against Dark-types like Skuntank and Thievul; it also allows it to directly threaten foes like Qwilfish and Klinklang. Colbur Berry lets it take on Fighting-types like Sawk and Gurdurr which would hit it super effectively with Knock Off while also letting it pivot out against strong Dark-types like Shiftry and Silvally-Dark. Synchronize punishes Toxic users such as Miltank and Stunfisk that would try to beat Beheeyem.
Beheeyem works best on balance teams with physical wallbreakers like Silvally-Dark, Lycanroc-N, and Sawk. Thanks to Future Sight, physical attackers can break through their checks like Palossand, Tangela, and Qwilfish, making it almost impossible to wall them. Beheeyem, however, is not a great wall, so it needs to be supported with other defensive Pokemon like Tangela, Altaria, Articuno, and Stunfisk that can wall powerful attackers such as the Silvally formes, Exeggutor, and Rotom that easily break through Beheeyem. Having a cleric such as Miltank or Alcremie is particularly important to reset Synchronize. Dark-type checks such as Throh, Skuntank, and Clefairy are also appreciated, because Colbur Berry isn't enough to mitigate Beheeyem's glaring weakness to them.

Beheeyem acts as a defensive sweeper with Nasty Plot, able to stomach powerful hits, sit on passive walls thanks to Recover, and retaliate back with powerful Analytic-boosted STAB Psychic. Thunderbolt hits common Psychic-resistant or immune foes such as Klinklang, Galarian Rapidash, and Skuntank for neutral damage while also dealing significant damage to Articuno, one of the most common special walls. Colbur Berry lets it handle Fighting-types with Knock Off like Sawk and Gurdurr and prevent Dark-types like Skuntank and Silvally-Dark from forcing it out with their super effective STAB moves.
This set works best on balance teams looking for a stallbreaker. Beheeyem works best when paired with an additional physical wall such as Tangela or Miltank to assist it versus strong physical attackers like Silvally-Dark, Thwackey, and Rhydon. Throh and Stunfisk make also for great partners, both being able to answer Rotom and Skuntank, which force out Beheeyem. Clerics like Miltank, Clefairy, and Articuno also make for great partners, taking care of Beheeyem's weakness to Toxic from passive walls such as Miltank and Stunfisk. Physical wallbreakers like the Silvally formes, Qwilfish, and Perrserker make for great partners that can take advantage of the special walls that Beheeyem forces in. Fast but weak attackers like Rapidash, Alolan Dugtrio, and Throat Spray Accelgor appreciate Beheeyem weakening opposing walls into their KO ranges.

Other Options
=============
Leftovers and Heavy-Duty Boots are options over Colbur Berry on the bulky sets; however, forgoing Colbur Berry makes Beheeyem very hard to use against Dark-types and jeopardizes its ability to check Fighting-types like Sawk and Gurdurr.
Checks and Counters
===================
**Dark-types**: The likes of Silvally-Dark, Skuntank, and Thievul can threaten Beheeyem with their super effective STAB moves. However, they still have to fear Nasty Plot and Analytic-boosted (added hyphen) Thunderbolt and Meteor Beam, which can both eliminate Dark-types after preliminary damage. This is especially true if Trick Room is up or Colbur Berry hasn't been consumed, as Dark-types cannot threaten out Beheeyem in these situation. Shiftry is a notorious example that said, since it resists Thunderbolt and can threaten Beheeyem through Trick Room with Sucker Punch.
**Steel-types**: Klinklang and Alolan Dugtrio resist most of Beheeyem's moves and can threaten Beheeyem with their SubTox sets, even if they huge damage from Beheeyem's Thunderbolt and Psychic, respectively.
**Special Walls**: Special walls like Clefairy and Stunfisk can take a hit from Beheeyem and stall out Trick Room turns with their terrific bulk. However, bulkier sets can take advantage of them. Nasty Plot Beheeyem can easily set up against them and stave off damage with Recover—though it still is chipped significantly by Toxic—while the Future Sight pivot set can punish them with Synchronize and safely use the combination of Future Sight and Recover to bring in a partner.
**Faster Wallbreakers**: Without Trick Room, Beheeyem's merely passable bulk and poor defensive typing leave it very vulnerable to strong Pokemon that can outspeed it, such as Rotom, Thwackey, and Jynx.
