Read more ↓Dhelmise is a unique Grass/Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII, hailing from the Alola region. This sentient anchor and ship's wheel Pokémon is formed from the grudges of seaweed that entangled a ship's anchor. Its body is primarily composed of seaweed, with its main "eye" being the ship's wheel itself, and its arms being the anchor chains. Dhelmise is known for its immense physical strength, capable of swinging its heavy anchor with surprising agility. It typically dwells in deep ocean waters, often found near shipwrecks, where it patiently waits for prey. Its diet consists mainly of Wailmer and Wailord, which it ensnares with its seaweed body before delivering crushing blows with its anchor. Dhelmise does not evolve from or into any other Pokémon, making it a standalone creature in the Pokémon world. In the games, Dhelmise is notable for its unique ability, Steelworker, which boosts its Steel-type moves despite not being a Steel-type itself, reflecting its anchor composition. Its eerie appearance and powerful attacks have made it a memorable addition to the Pokémon roster, often depicted as a guardian of the ocean's forgotten treasures or a harbinger of maritime doom. Its cultural significance ties into nautical folklore and the mysteries of the deep sea.
