Dhelmise makes its debut in Pokmon Go as part of February 2025s Beloved Buddies event.Despite resembling an anchor and living underwater, this haunted Alolan Pokmon is in fact a ghost- and grass-type and according to its Pokdex entry, a predator of the mighty whale Pokmon Wailord. Oh buoy!As with most new Pokmon added to Pokmon Go in the past year, Dhelmise cannot be found in the wild but thankfully, theres a clear and direct route on how to get one on its debut.How to get Dhelmise in Pokmon GoMaking its first appearance in 2025s Beloved Buddies event, Dhelmise can only be found in raids on its debut.In terms of raid difficulty, Dhelmise is in the three-star category so for solo players, unless you have strong counters (and ideally a Mega Evolved or Shadow Pokmon in the mix), youll want to bring a friend or two to help you take it down.Dhelmise weakness and counters in Pokmon GoAs a ghost- and grass-type, Dhelmise is weak to fire-, ice-, flying-, ghost-, and dark-type moves. Thats quite a range, giving us plenty of options but if you wanted specific Pokmon in mind, we recommend:For fire-type options, consider (Mega) Charizard or Blaziken, or Ho-OhFor ice-type options, consider (Mega) Abomasnow, Mamoswine, or Mewtwo with Ice BeamFor flying-type options, consider (Mega) Rayquaza with Dragon Ascent, or (Mega) PidgeotFor ghost-type options, consider Dawn Wings Necrozma, (Mega) Gengar, or Mewtwo with Shadow BallFor dark-type options, consider (Mega) Tyranitar, or (Mega) HoundoomAs noted, Mega versions of the relevant Pokmon listed above are recommended, but know you cannot bring more than one Mega Pokmon into battle. Similarly, if you have a Shadow version of any of the above, that can help give you the edge.Can Dhelmise be shiny in Pokmon Go?On its debut, Dhemise cannot be shiny in Pokmon Go. The rollout for shinies in Pokmon Go varies sometimes a Pokmon can be shiny on its debut, sometimes they can take years so know you might be waiting a while.Until then, you can see what shiny Dhelmise looks like thanks to this video by Majin Munchlax on YouTube from Pokmon Sword and Shield:Next, see if you should choose the Candela or Arlo path!
