I’ve always loved Dhelmise’s design and how all of its details imply certain facial features. Like the compass eye, part of the anchor looking like a nose, the angry eyebrows, moustache and beard made out of seaweed, and how the parts that don’t have seaweed on them look like sharp teeth. It’s such a unique way to give a Pokemon something that resembles a face without actually giving it a real face! I really can’t think of any other inanimate object mon that does that!

It's also worth noting the pokemon itself is technically _just_ the seaweed. The rest of it isn't alive. It's literally just sentient seaweed.

When I was searching for Dhelmise so I could complete the Alola Regional Dex in the original Sun and Moon. I not only found it quite easily but it was literally my first shiny ever! I will never forget my disbelief of seeing that red anchor in front of me.

Gotta love repping Dhelmise. Have to admit, one of my favorite Pokémon that I’ve actually never used. Just the design and concept alone is enough to get me hooked. Great video!

Dhelmise is actually really good. A moveset of shadow claw power whip anchor shot and rock slide for coverage or liquidation for the water aesthetic is a great moveset if you want to use it in sword and shield. For Alola I would recommend using the same first 3 moves but just use rock slide as it doesn’t get liquidation in Gen 7 which means it doesn’t have any good physical water moves

Such a unique Pokémon, I do feel that we were cheated a bit with Dhelmise not having a Gigantamax form at least in Sword and Shield, let's be honest, it had HUGE potential for a Gigantamax form! Like a giant haunted pirate ship overflowing with seaweed and possibly having designs on its hull resembling a face like the design of normal Dhelmise!

I have nothing but love for Dhelmise! I went into a tournament at Otakon last year (2021) with an all-ghost team (dressed as a Ghostbuster). Made it to the quarter finals. The triple-STAB was very nice, but the biggest edge I had with Dhelmise was the almost universal reaction from my opponents saying "I forgot this Pokemon existed"

I absolutely LOVE this thing. Such an odd design with a surprisingly viable stat spread and move pool. Definitely one of my favorite Pokémon.

There’s something I love about faceless Pokémon like Dhelmise and Staryu. The Pokémon company always does a good job of giving them a personality that keeps them feeling alive while still feeling very different

Dhelmise became a permanent part of my party as soon as I got him, I didn't even realize how rare he seemed to be

Dhelmise is also connected with my personal favorite Pokemon, that being Dragalge (and Skrelp's there too), in that they apparently get along with each other. Sorta makes sense when you consider both have seaweed motifs, both are tied with shipwrecks, and both go after large targets, be they tankers or Wailord. Who's to say that a shipwreck that created Dhelmise wasn't caused by a Dragalge defending its territory? We literally see them living in sunken ships in the anime, that's the perfect place to make a new ghost seaweed anchor friend. Here's hoping both make it back into S/V. We saw Clauncher in the first trailer

Dhelmise is by far my personal favorite Pokémon. The way the seaweed wrapped around the anchor vaguely creates the illusion of a sinister smile, how it uses it’s compass eye to emote, and the fact it’s shiny represents red algae! For those wanting to use it in competitive, here’s my setup; Phantom Force Power Whip Anchor Shot Rapid Spin Brave nature Assault Vest Have fun plunderin me mateys!

What I love about Dhelmise is its surprisingly vast movepool. It can excel in a utility, tank, or combat role. Examples of its more useful moves: - Anchor Shot can trap in Pokemon that are easy to setup on. - Coverage moves like Aerial Ace, Brick Break, Earthquake, Knock Off, Liquidation, and Rock Slide - Swords Dance and Growth for setup - Synthesis for recovery - Rapid Spin and Toxic for utility - Powerful STAB moves in Poltergeist, Phantom Force, Grassy Glide and Power Whip - Solar Blade and Steel Roller too I guess What more could you ask for?

Dhelmise fills out so many cool niches both design-wise and gameplay-wise, I love seeing it get some recognition! Hard to believe that we didn't have a super pirate-feeling Pokemon until Gen 7, especially considering Team Aqua's existence. Just the concept of this big spooky ghost face made of kelp wrapped around a shipwreck is peak monster design, and I love all of their weird animations! I remember having no clue what it even was when I first saw a tiny leaked image of it, I... actually thought it was some haunted Mexican painting. Which would make for a fun Regional Dhelmise, now that I think about it, with the seaweed clinging onto the ship's riches rather than their tools. Here's to hoping they return for Scarlet and Violet, they canonically have good terms with Skrelp and considering Clauncher got in, there's hope! Dhelmise feels PERFECT for Spain.

I remember I got a strategy guide for sun/moon on the same day I got moon, i looked to the back of the pokedex and finally saw a Pokémon I didn’t see in the countless trailers, and was instantly awestruck. I spent the entire game wondering when I would get to “seafolk village” and when I got there I spent forever trying to find the fishing spot. Adored this thing since then.

I thought it was cool, and I thinks it’s surprising that it’s a low encounter rate. I found one and caught it back in Moon, it wasn’t very difficult. But I really love the design

its worth noting that having only one wobbly compass as a form of eye also doubles as having a pirate eyepatch motif its a design that keeps on giving

When you mentioned Dhelmise doesn’t have a face suddenly its implied face really stuck out to me and it’s terrifying. Obviously the compass on the wheel is supposed to stand in as an eye, but the way the seaweed is wrapped around the curved part of the anchor looks like sharp teeth in a creepy smile. Such a great pokemon design

If we really want to give it three types, make it so Steelworker also makes it immune to sandstorm damage and poisoning. All the perks of the Steel type.

I actually came up with a Pokémon that is somewhat related to Dhelmise. - Phan-O-War, the Ocean Drifter Pokémon. - Water/Ghost. - Based on the Portuguese man-o-war jelly fish, 18th century man-o-war warships, the mythical kraken, and the concept of ghost ships. - Think of it as a ghost kraken living inside a shipwreck that it brought up to the surface. It just looks like a ship sailing past, but it hides its long tentacles beneath the water's surface, waiting to attack anything that comes close, just like how a man-o-war jellyfish would. - Anywhere it goes, Dhelmise are sure to be found close by. - Ability is Toxic Tendrils, which gives STAB to Poison moves, much like Dhelmise's Steelworker.

Dhelmise has always been one of my favorite pokemon, and I love most of the ghost pokemon designs in general.

Love this concept for videos! I'll never forget my first Sun And Moon play through where I was randomly fishing and got a 1st encounter Dhelmise!

I ended up spending a few hours fishing for it after reading a piece of dialogue mentioning a rare Pokemon. I found it, accidentally killed it, and kept grinding for it. I got a shiny Magikarp before I found another. I still have it, it was my 2nd or 3rd ever shiny, the previous ones ALSO being Magikarp! I only have this one left unfortunately. This was nostalgic, thanks!

I remember using Dhelmise in the Sword rental trick room team for the battle tower and it was the main reason I started with trick room teams. Been using it on almost every trick room team and still love giving it iron ball for extra gyroball damage and against other trick room teams

Cool video! Gave me a newfound respect and interest in this mon. I think Ill make some more showdown teams making use of Dhelmise.

Dhemise, my ABSOLUTE favourite mon of ALL times. Definitely underrated and deserves more recognition. I have bred and used many in my Alola walkthroughs, never disappoints. Dhemise >>>>> Decidueye. Moveset with Power Whip, Anchor Shot, Earthquake and Phantom Force works like a charm.

This thing is a really good Trick room pick as it has good bulk. I found a lot of value in these as surprise Trick Room sets.

A cool thing about Dhelmise is that the seaweed pattern on the anchor and the sides of the wheel look like a face with a broken eye

Ah yes, Dhelmise. My 2nd favourite Grass/Ghost type. Can you tell what my number 1 favourite is? Hehe... While Dhelmise might not be as anthropomorphized as some other objectmon it certainly does still have a face. It's just less deliberate and on the nose so it doesn't distract from its large and intimidating appearance. Making something less emotable to humans is another way to make it more unsettling, perfect for a Ghost type. The seaweed on its front that makes a 5-pointed star has two longer strands on the sides that make large eyebrows. The tangled up coil in the center that connects the wheel and the anchor points outwards appearing like a pointed nose. The rips and tears in the seaweed along the curved bottom of the anchor leaves open spaces that make them look like sharp, scary jaws. When you can point out this many great, little details from just one design you just KNOW you got a special case on your hands! I also just love that it hunts Wailord. I can only imagine what that must have been like in the Game Freak office! GF: Okay, we need to make a pokémon that hunts Wailord, the largest non-legendary pokémon ever. Somebody: Ghost anchor. GF: ... GF: Wait.. wha- Somebody: *_GHOST ANCHOR._* GF: You know what? Sure. We need more ingenuity like Dhelmise in the world. I just know that gen 9 will have some real goodies!

When I first saw Dhelmise I thought it looked like a really cool *water steel* type, and was super upset when I realised it wasn’t a water type. This realisation was coming of the back of realising that Crabrawler also wasn’t a water type. I was playing the game for the first time and restricting myself to water type Pokémon so both of these revelations really ruined how I thought of them, even if Dhelmise is still a sick looking pokemon

My favorite gen 7 pokemon by far. I shiny hunted one in Sw/Sh and it looks so amazing!

@GatorEX

Жыл бұрын

Yes, the bright red seaweed on the Shiny looks so cool!

Another issue with Dhelmise, that I'm surprised you didn't mention, is the fact that it was VERY hard to slot into a team, as one of the starters shared that Grass/Ghost typing. Unless you really liked Dhelmise, or the Ghost typing, it often got overlooked if the team went with Rowlet as the starter.

love how its "eye" is just a compass on the steering wheel

I always forget Dhelmise's typing. "Okay so it was probably a ghost right? And... Steel? Or grass?.. water?! I mean you fish it out it has something to do with water, right?"

When I first heard about Dhelmise I spent three hours fishing for him until I finally got him. Good times

I've always loved Dhelmise, ever since I caught one on my first run of Moon; it's got such a cool design

I love Dhelmise! In my first play through of Sun I had heard of it through the leaks and made sure to fish one up the first chance I got. I even used my Lure Ball on it.

Just found your channel & am loving your videos so much:) had never given Dhelmise much thought, but after learning more about it I want to use one sometime!:) it’s a very cool concept 🤗 Anyway the first video of yours that I watched was discussing your favorite redesigns aka ORAS redesigns.

So happy to see love for my favorite ghost type! I tend to fall in love with Pokemon that are under loved (trubbish is my all time favorite) so I don't get to see a lot of appreciation for my favorites. My favorite thing about dhelmise is it's cry! Not only does it sound cool and satisfying to listen to but it really sounds like the wheel of an old ship! The ghostly effects are a great touch as well. Cool video!

I never knew much about this Pokémon, cool video 🤙🏼

I got my copy of Pokémon Sun when I was like 7. I recently looked through my Pokédex and found out I’ve actually encountered Dhelmise before, but never caught it. Unbeknownst to my 7 year old self, I encountered and ran away from or killed one of the rarest Pokémon in Pokémon Sun. Dang I feel dumb now lol.

Looking at its name: the wordplay with 'Demise' really ties your theory about drowned captains/pirates together pretty well.

dhelmise is such an underrated pokemon and i thought it was so cool ever since I first found out about it. I feel a bit sad that it deals with the alola curse of being extremely difficult to find because i think that’s a big part of why no one remembers it 😔

i've always had a love for dhelmise but i've never had the chance to use it on a team due to the types already being covered by other pokemon i had but now i'm thinking that if by some miracle it makes it into 3 generations in a row with scarlet and violet i might just say screw it to all that coverage stuff and finally try adding it despite already having sprigatito and likely a new ghost type from the region given how i seem to always find at least one to love to death

I love that the seaweed is placed in such a way that it looks like a "beard" and teeth

eyy, this video was very nice and informative! I was making a team of obscure pokemon that don't really get *THAT* much rep, and this gave me a good one to add!

I remember fishing for this guy in pokemon sun for my dex. It's also one of the few pokemon encounters where I remember the date, where I was, and the look of the place I was in. For that alone it's one of my favorites.

If Dhelmise lore was a captain going down with their ship is actually a cool way how each piece symbolises what happened. The steer symbolizes the captain, the anchor showing he stayed and went down with the ship and the seaweed chain showing time being under there and trapped by the event.

I remember reeling this pokemon without knowing it existed, knocking it out by accident, then spending months searching for it again.

I just now realized it’s supposed to look like a spooky smile with fangs. I knew the compass was an eye but I never noticed the ‘mouth’ part.

I never realized how rare he was until years after playing moon but I did knew that people would give me better pokemons for him so I started farming him (and golisopod) to the point I had many shiny legendarys from different regions

I’d posit that Dhelmise breeds when two Dhelmise get together to combine some of their extra pieces or find pieces from ships. One of them goes out and hunts for perfect parts while the other grafts some of its seaweed onto the parts. And as for the face: the compass is an eye, the anchor is a mouth, and the seaweed forms angry teeth

"Coolest pokemon you never caught" Me who completed most of the national dex in Sun: *I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that*

It's nice to see someone giving some love to one of my favourite Pokemon

i love love love when people have niche very specific pokemon that they just love so much. youve made me appreciate this guy more :) (i thought it was a UB just cus of how little ive seen of it lol)

Dhelmise is one of my fave mon I think its interesting how back in the day when pokemon was a new concept noone cared about stuff like "this object pokemon wouldnt make sense to realistically exist" but now its just become such a constant thing that stuff like this becomes on wether or not people like some mon and some dont. I wish everyone just thought about pokemon more simple again.

I've always loved Dhelmise, since it's reveal! As a man of the sea and also a big lover of Ghost-types, i've always wanted more attention towards It. Makes me really happy to see your video on it

Dhelmise has been one of my all time faves for a long time. Happy to see I'm not alone.

I remember farming this one! Man one day I need to go down memory lane and replay the Pokemon games of my childhood

Dhelmise is an awesome Pokemon and one of those designs and concepts that was truly just genius. Love its red shiny variant as well.

Dhelmise is the reason I didn't chose Rowlet for my first venture to Alola, actually.

one minor detail that I love so much is it's "Eye" is a Compass. during it's idle animation when it just rocks left and right you can see the Compass move slightly more than the anchor itself, and I really like that for some reason

Reminds me of orange island trophy situation, where the haunter, gengar, and gastly guard a ship that flies off

Huh, I didn't know it was that rare. I caught it in the 10% spot on my first try in Sun and never thought twice about it. My team was already full too so I just left it in the box and never thought about it. I don't think I even fished there ever again

Same thing here, I went fishing in this city in my Sun playthrough as soon as I had the opportunity, and I guess I got lucky with that 1% cause it was my very first encounter, I caught it, and although I thought it was a pretty cool mon, and I love ghost and grass types, I picked decidueye as my starter so I never felt the need to use it, had no idea it was that rare tho, had I known that I probably would have benched the owl for a while to try and have fun with it.

It was love at first sight with Dhelmise. Just randomly fishing in Sun&Moon and he pops out, I remember I couldn't stop saying how cool he was.

One of my favorite ideas I have floating around is object-mon that are a similar object or set of objects. Dhelmise is a great idea to build off, shipwrecks are more than anchors and wheels. This idea started as an Aegislash made of two different things than a basic sword and shield. Two swords, a dagger and gauntlet, hook blades, a spear and lantern-shield, a short-sword and banner, etc.

Glad to sea some love for this big boi. This Pokémon is off the chain awesome. I sink it shore would be great to see it get a new evolution. I am not apologizing

Thank you for this. I loved Dhelmise design and I even started using it for my VGC team. Glad to see other people appreciating Dhelmise :>

When I originally played through gen 7, I caught Dhelmise and without a second thought put it in the pc. It wasn’t until sword and shield when I explored using some more obscure mons on my team that I took the time to not only find a Dhelmise but shiny hunt it as well! All in all it’s a fantastic Pokémon design and I’m so happy that someone is giving it some recognition!

I love the term “Skrunkos” so much. I’m adding this to my vocabulary now

Sinistrail was always one of my gen 7 favorite pokémon, it's great to finally see some people discussing about it ! Also had a really good ability, overall, a cool concept indeed.

@4:35 I mean , Dhelmise IS a face , with the compass as the eye, the shaft of the anchor as a nose and the arch at the bottom as a toothy grin. The seaweed purposefully leaves small triangular spaces that resemble spikey teeth , and the whol pokemon has the appearance of a one eyed bearded face

i actually didn't even realize till this video but his 'eye' on the steering wheel is actually a compass i think

I caught one in sword and didn't expect to use it much, but it became one of my main six and personal favorites, thanks for giving it some praise!😉

I remember standing is that spot fishing for hours trying to get hom

This was actually my first find in the whole area around the haunted house or whatever it was called. Never really used it but loved the design, found it a few more times but could never find any of the other rare alolan Pokémon

i mean if you look at the bottom anchor part,the spots where the brown show between the green are supposed to be visually like teeth, so technically they anthropomorphized it but in a subtle way.

That anchor ⚓ shot animation was crazy good in swsh!

Didn't know this pokemon even existed and I love it. It's up there with Tropius and Xurkitree now

Oh now I get it. You find the anchor Pokémon where there's a bunch of boats.

I didn't even realize you were hiding memes until now

The first time I ever saw dhelmise was after I already had and planned my full team. I was in seafolk village and decided to fish for no apparent reason. I encountered dhelmise by accident on my first try and loved it since. I probably would’ve put it on my team if I didn’t already have Decidueye.

A thing about dhelmise is that the bit where the sea grass doesn't touch at the bottom of the anchor resembles spiky teeth. Making it seems that it's more malicious than it seems

I remember encountering this on occasion as part of bottle cap fishing lol

I managed to fish this up one time, accidentally killed it, and have never been able to find it again

Dhelmise is one of my favorite pokemon. Was my boy in my sun and moon run throughs.

I like the fact that what we think is its eye is actually a compass that was apart of the wheel

“I don’t even have anything funny to say, hiding memes is just tradition at this point” lmao

Memories from when i was hunting this in sun and moon 5 years ago Im so sad i never caught it

I spent hours trying to catch Dhelmise in Pokémon sword, and it’s a permanent member for my team, for sure. I just think it’s so cute, (in its own anchor-y way) and it’s color pallet is definitely one of my favorites. Plus I think it’s really cool how it’s basically a three type pokemon. But yeah, by far my favorite ghost type and maybe even my favorite Pokémon of all time. It’s super underrated.

Thank you for this! I didn't catch it while playing sun or sword and I just thought it's such a weird pokemon. Now I think it's such a cool concept and unique Design - and typing. I always loved grass-types and it would be such a useful addition to a grass-type team.
