Dhelmise's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Dhelmise PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Dhelmise is among the many Ghost/Grass-type Pokémon in the meta, and it has the highest ATK among them (Decidueye, Trevenant, Gourgeist). Moreover, Dhelmise also has the ideal Ghost-type moveset of Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball. As such, it is a welcome addition to the Ghost-type PvE meta. 👻⚓

As a Grass type, it's a different story altogether. Dhelmise has no Grass-type Fast Move, and sadly, neither does it learn any from the main series games. Leave it to Ghost-type duties!

💎 Dhelmise's best moveset for PvE is Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball.

⚔️ Raids

Dhelmise is a glass cannon, bulkier than Gengar but with far lower damage output. That is not to say that Dhelmise is bad. With many Ghost types lacking bulk, it's always nice to have another that can dish out respectable DPS. 🙂

Needless to say, don't use Dhelmise as a Grass-type attacker. ❌

🛡️ Gyms

Dhelmise is fragile and not a good candidate for Gym defense.

Dhelmise PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

Dhelmise's stats are inclined towards offense, making it lose bulk in the Great League. This limits its viability, so it's better to skip using it in this format. 😅

🟡 Ultra League

Use Trevenant instead. Or even Decidueye. Dhelmise is terrible in the Ultra League. 😶‍🌫️

🟣 Master League

Maxing out at 3335 CP, Dhelmise is surprisingly at its best in the Master League. This spooky ship anchor secures impressive wins against Groudon, Kyogre, Zacian (Hero), Primarina, Excadrill, Rhyperior, and Ursaluna. However, don’t expect too much from it, as it remains tricky to use! 🙂
