Dhelmise Is Now Available in Pokémon UNITE

Slam the competition with the Ghost- and Grass-type Pokémon. Ahoy, Trainers! Dhelmise is here to swing the tide of battle as a Melee All-Rounder in Pokémon UNITE. The Sea Creeper Pokémon’s basic attacks and moves are all centered around its powerful anchor, so it’s certain to have a heavy impact on your next match. Battling with this Pokémon requires more than brute force, though—Dhelmise’s Steelworker Ability rewards intentional basic attack and move timing to get the most out of its moveset. It might be tedious at first, but you’ll be hooked in no time.

Read more about what Dhelmise is bringing to the battlefield, and prepare to send your competition straight to the watery deep.

Dhelmise Basics

Ability: Steelworker - Dhelmise is granted a shield whenever a set amount of time has passed and one of its moves deals damage to Pokémon from the opposing team. Each time Steelworker or other effects grant Dhelmise a shield, Dhelmise’s next basic attack deals increased damage. This effect can stack up to 3 times. When a shield expires after a set amount of time, HP proportional to the amount of remaining shields is restored.

Basic Attack - Dhelmise attacks by slamming its body.

Lv. 1 & 3 Moves

Choose one at Lv. 1 and the other at Lv. 3.

Payback - Dhelmise swings its anchor, dealing damage and applying a slowing effect to opposing Pokémon it hits. Dhelmise deals increased damage if opposing Pokémon hit it with an attack while Payback is being used.

Bulldoze - Dhelmise shakes the ground by slamming its anchor, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon and throwing them.

Lv. 5 Moves

Power Whip - Dhelmise slashes its anchor horizontally in front of itself, dealing damage and applying a slowing effect when it hits and granting it a shield. The edge of the anchor deals additional damage and leaves opposing Pokémon it hits unable to act. Power Whip can be upgraded to increase the duration opposing Pokémon are left unable to act.

Whirlpool - Dhelmise swings its anchor diagonally, dealing damage and applying a slowing effect to opposing Pokémon. Every third time Whirlpool is used, it generates a whirlpool centered on Dhelmise, pulling in nearby opposing Pokémon. Whirlpool’s cooldown is reduced every time Dhelmise hits with a basic attack. Whirlpool can be upgraded to further reduce its cooldown every time Dhelmise hits with a basic attack.

Lv. 7 Moves

Anchor Shot - Dhelmise throws its anchor in the designated direction and catches an opposing Pokémon with it, dealing damage and leaving it unable to act. Dhelmise then pulls the opposing Pokémon toward itself. Anchor Shot can be upgraded to increase the amount of damage dealt to the pulled opposing Pokémon.

Heavy Slam - Dhelmise lobs its anchor in the designated direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon at the point of impact and leaving them unable to act. Opposing Pokémon near the point of impact take damage and have a slowing effect applied to them. Dhelmise then slams its heavy body down at the anchor’s point of impact, dealing damage and applying a slowing effect to opposing Pokémon it hits. Heavy Slam can be upgraded so that when Dhelmise slams its heavy body down, opposing Pokémon at the center of impact are left unable to act.

Dhelmise’s Unite Move

Seaweed Snare - Dhelmise throws its anchor and ensnares a designated Pokémon from the opposing team with its long chain, dealing damage and leaving it unable to act. Dhelmise then charges at that Pokémon, dealing damage and leaving it unable to act. If other Pokémon from the opposing team are hit by the anchor or the charge, they take damage and are shoved. Dhelmise then converts a portion of the damage dealt while using Seaweed Snare into HP recovery.
