Dhelmise is a Ghost/Grass-type Pokemon with base stats of 233/179/172 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 3,335. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection.

If you catch a perfect IV Dhelmise, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Dhelmise ranks well in raids or PvP.
