Get ready for the *Pokémon GO* debut of Dhelmise in the exciting Beloved Buddies event! This event also features boosted wild spawns and fantastic bonuses. But there's a twist: you can only catch Dhelmise one way. Read on for all the details, including dates and times.

Your only chance to catch Dhelmise in Pokémon GO is by battling it as a boss in 3-Star Raids during the Beloved Buddies event. Defeat Dhelmise in a raid, and you'll have a chance to catch it afterwards.
Dhelmise is a Grass- and Ghost-type Pokémon, making it vulnerable to Fire, Dark, Ice, Ghost, and Flying-type attacks (160% super effective damage). Conversely, it resists Grass, Water, Electric, and Ground-type moves (63% resistance), along with Fighting and Normal-type moves (39% resistance).
Unfortunately, Shiny Dhelmise isn't available during this event. Expect its Shiny variant to appear in a future event, possibly a Community Day.
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. Don't miss out!
Several friendship-themed Pokémon will appear more frequently in the wild: Cutiefly, Diglett, Dunsparce, Fomantis, Illumise, Mantine, Minun, Nidoran♀, Nidoran♂, Plusle, Remoraid, Shellder, Slowpoke, and Volbeat. Many of these have a chance to be Shiny, with increased odds for Shiny Dunsparce and Diglett.
Enjoy these bonuses during the event:
Beloved Buddies features various Raid Bosses:
| Raid Level | Raid Boss | Can It Be Shiny? |
|---|---|---|
| One-Star | Dwebble | Yes |

| Three-Star | Dhelmise | No |
| Hippowdon | No | |

Shiny raid boss encounter rates vary; Mega Raids have a 1/128 chance, while Legendary Raids have a 1/20 chance.
Limited-time Field Research tasks will be available, offering rewards like Stardust and Tandemaus encounters. Details will be updated as they become available.
A Collection Challenge will require catching many of the event's featured Pokémon. Rewards and specific Pokémon will be revealed closer to the event start date.
PokéStop Showcases will allow you to display event Pokémon and potentially earn XP, Stardust, and other rewards. More details will be added soon.
Now you're prepared for the Beloved Buddies event! Good luck catching Dhelmise and enjoying all the other exciting features.
