Strategy Overview

Dhelmise is one of the few viable spinners and supports entry hazard-stacking builds. Thanks to its bulk and typing, it can switch into Stealth Rock setters such as Bronzong, Diancie, and Steelix and force them out. In addition, it boasts a high base Attack and two powerful STAB moves, allowing it to deal good damage to any given team. Dhelmise can switch into and force out Electric-types, but it can lose momentum against them due to Volt Switch. Despite its defensive utility, Dhelmise struggles long-term due to its vulnerability to status and Synthesis's low PP. Dark-types, as well as Ghost-types like Mimikyu, Golurk, and Polteageist, outspeed and threaten it. Dhelmise also faces competition from Celebi and Roserade as a Grass-type wallbreaker.
