Pokémon Unite Dhelmise Gameplay Tips
Our Pokémon Unite Dhelmise Guide will now discuss how to play and achieve a perfect game plan for the Pokémon across the game. The following division has two sections of the early and late game, which players must make sure to read till the end.
Early Game
Dhelmise’s early game revolves around safe trading, shield stacking, and lane control. In terms of laning, players could go to the Top/Bottom Lane. Unlock and use Payback to apply a bit of pressure in lanes, while clearing wild Pokémon and apioms for easy level growth.
Each time you hit with Payback, your passive ability gives you a shield, so try to hit both enemies and wild Pokémon often to keep your shield stacked. This lets you stay in lane longer and contest early bees safely. Do also ensure to pair Payback with Bulldoze at Level 3 for extra control. Bulldoze throws enemies, which helps you steal last hits or interrupt their attempts to secure objectives.
While laning, do prioritise helping your team’s attacker/allied laner to farm efficiently and take down early epic Pokémon like the Rotom as soon as possible. This would help them level up as fast as possible, take down enemy Pokémon, and score the goals needed to seal the win for your team.
Mid and Late Game
At level 5, you will be able to make your first ability choice: Power Whip or Whirlpool. By level 7, you add either Anchor Shot or Heavy Slam, giving you two distinct Playstyles:
- 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 an Anchor Shot to lock them in place. It’s perfect for punishing overextended enemies or catching anyone trying to run from the 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.
So, choose according to your preferred game plan. Dhelmise Unite Move is a powerful single-target tool, allowing you to isolate and completely disrupt one of the enemy team’s Pokémon. Therefore, it is best to use this ability on the enemy’s main carry and Attacker-type Pokémon. Doing this during teamfights in the late game will make it harder for the enemy team to secure objectives like Groudon.
Positioning of Dhelmise
The best path for Dhelmise would be the top or bottom Lane. Players should prioritise farming Aipoms and Audinos to level up efficiently. The cluster of Combees and Vespiqueen should be hunted down as much as possible to allow for increased exp and easy level-up.
Dhelmise with other Pokémon
