Looking for Dhelmise in Pokemon GO? Learn when it might return, possible future events, and how to prepare for its comeback!

The Beloved Buddies event is over, and if you missed your chance to catch Dhelmise, you might be wondering if there’s another way to get it. Don’t worry! There are still ways to add this ghostly anchor to your collection. Let’s go over your options.
Right now, Dhelmise is not appearing in the wild. During its debut in the Beloved Buddies event (February 11, 2025, to February 15, 2025), it was only available in three-star raids, but since the event ended, it has disappeared from raids as well.
That means, at the moment, there is no way to catch Dhelmise in Pokemon GO—but that won’t last forever!

When Will Dhelmise Return?

Pokemon introduced through events usually come back later in one of these ways:
- Special Research or Timed Research: Niantic sometimes brings back event Pokemon in research tasks. Watch out for upcoming events or research rewards that might feature Dhelmise
- Future Raid Rotations: Dhelmise debuted in raids, so it could return in future three-star raids. It might appear during another event or as part of a themed raid rotation.
- Egg Hatches or Wild Spawns: Some Pokemon that start as raid exclusives later appear in the wild or in eggs. While this isn’t guaranteed, it’s worth checking event announcements to see if Dhelmise gets added elsewhere.
- Field Research Tasks: Event Pokemon sometimes appear in Field Research rewards after their debut. Keep completing tasks, especially during themed events, just in case!

Can You Get a Shiny Dhelmise?
Not yet! Shiny Dhelmise was not available during its debut, and there’s no word on when it will be released. Niantic sometimes adds shiny versions months or even years later, so it might take some time.
What Should You Do Now?

Since Dhelmise isn’t available at the moment, here’s what you can do while you wait:
- Check event announcements for their next appearance.
- Save Raid Passes so you’re ready when it returns.
- Trade with other players who caught extra Dhelmise during the event.
- Keep an eye on research tasks for a possible surprise encounter.
Did you miss it this time? No worries! Dhelmise will likely return soon, and now you know what to watch for. Stay ready!
