Pokémon Unite Dhelmise Gameplay Tips
This Pokémon Unite Dhelmise guide will show you how to play the Pokémon effectively and create a winning strategy. We’ll cover both the early and late stages of the game, so be sure to read through the entire guide.
Early Game
Early in the game, Dhelmise focuses on playing it safe, building up defenses with shields, and controlling the lane. Players can effectively use Dhelmise in either the Top or Bottom Lane. Use the move Payback to create some pressure on opponents while also quickly leveling up by defeating wild Pokémon and apioms.
Using Payback frequently will activate your shield ability, so try to land hits on both opponents and wild Pokémon as much as possible to keep it active. This will help you stay in lane longer and safely compete for early-game advantages. At Level 3, combine Payback with Bulldoze for even more control – Bulldoze can knock enemies around, letting you secure last hits or stop them from taking objectives.
When playing your lane, focus on helping your teammate who’s attacking or your allied laner get resources efficiently and quickly defeat early powerful Pokémon like Rotom. This will allow them to level up fast, defeat opposing Pokémon, and ultimately help your team score enough goals to win.
Mid and Late Game
When you reach level 5, you’ll get to choose your first special ability: either Power Whip or Whirlpool. Then, at level 7, you can add either Anchor Shot or Heavy Slam. These choices will define how you play, creating two different styles of gameplay.
- Power Whip + Anchor Shot: This is Dhelmise’s main chase-and-catch combo. Start with Power Whip to pull enemies toward you and disrupt their movement. The moment they’re in range, follow with Anchor Shot to lock them in place. It’s perfect for punishing overextended enemies or catching anyone trying to run from lane.
- Whirlpool + Heavy Slam: This combo focuses on damage and zone control. Use Whirlpool first to pull enemies into the center and slow them. Once they’re trapped inside the vortex, jump in with Heavy Slam for a big burst of damage. It is great for team fights, contesting objectives, and breaking enemy formations.
Choose the move that best fits how you like to play. Dhelmise’s Unite Move is great for focusing down a single enemy Pokémon, completely shutting them down and taking them out of the fight. It’s most effective when used on the enemy team’s biggest damage dealer or Pokémon that focus on attacking. Using it during big team fights later in the game can help your team secure important objectives, like taking down Groudon.
Positioning of Dhelmise
Dhelmise does best in the top or bottom lane. To level up quickly, focus on defeating Aipom and Audino. Also, try to eliminate as many Combee and Vespiqueen as you can – they provide a lot of experience and make leveling up easier.
