The Beloved Buddies event in Pokémon GO introduces Dhelmise, alongside boosted wild spawns and exciting bonuses. However, catching Dhelmise is exclusive to 3-Star Raids. This guide details everything you need to know about Beloved Buddies, including dates, times, and rewards.
Dhelmise is obtainable only by defeating it in 3-Star Raids during the Beloved Buddies event.
Dhelmise is Grass/Ghost-type, weak to Fire, Dark, Ice, Ghost, and Flying-type attacks (160% effectiveness). It resists Grass, Water, Electric, and Ground-type attacks (63%), and Fighting and Normal-type attacks (39%).
Currently, Shiny Dhelmise is unavailable in Pokémon GO. A future event, potentially a Community Day, will likely introduce it.
The Beloved Buddies event runs from Tuesday, February 11, 2025, at 10:00 AM to Saturday, February 15, 2025, at 8:00 PM local time.
Increased wild spawns include: Cutiefly, Diglett, Dunsparce, Fomantis, Illumise, Mantine, Minun, Nidoran♀, Nidoran♂, Plusle, Remoraid, Shellder, Slowpoke, and Volbeat. Shiny versions of these Pokémon are possible, with increased odds for Dunsparce and Diglett.
Bonuses include: Double Catch XP, 60-minute Lure Modules attracting event Pokémon (Diglett, Slowpoke, Shellder, Dunsparce, Cutiefly, and Fomantis), and 500 Stardust for each of those caught Pokémon.
