Pokémon Trading Card Game Dhelmise

This official Pokémon Trading Card Game card features Dhelmise, the haunting Sea Creeper Pokémon, as a Grass-type Basic Pokémon. The impressive artwork by Sanosuke Sakuma captures Dhelmise’s immense size and ghostly nature, showcasing its massive anchor and the seaweed that forms its body against a deep-sea backdrop, as described in its origin story.

Dhelmise is a formidable standalone attacker with two potent moves. Its first attack, Bind Down (cost: one Grass Energy and one Colorless Energy), deals 60 damage and has a disruptive effect: “During your opponent’s next turn, the Defending Pokémon can’t retreat.” This locks a vulnerable target in place. Its second attack, Anchor Smash (cost: three Grass Energy and one Colorless Energy), is a powerful finisher that deals a massive 130 damage, capable of knocking out most opponents in a single hit.

Classified as an Uncommon card (denoted by the diamond symbol), it has a high 130 HP. It carries a Fire-type Weakness (x2), a useful Water-type Resistance (-30), and a very high four-Colorless Energy Retreat Cost, reflecting its colossal, anchor-weighted form. As noted in its Pokédex entry, Dhelmise was born when seaweed merged with debris from a sunken ship—a lore that explains its unique typing and formidable presence. This card is an excellent heavy hitter for Grass decks, offering both control and overwhelming offensive power.
