So, we all know Gengar, because he takes over the Pokemon SNS Accounts every October and posts nothing but himself with the other fame-drunk Pokemon. Mimikyu gets cred because it's literally the creepy counterpart to Pikachu, and if you go on Youtube for a second you'll find channels talking about other, less well-known Pokemon.

But. There is one Pokemon that is so underrated and overlooked that people who are newer to the Pokemon games will have not heard of it nor seen it represented in any official merchandise except in trading cards, and it is

this. This rusty anchor that could give you tetanus and strangle you with the literal algae on its messed-up body.

Ignoring its abhorrent speed and shallow movepool, the design is just so bizarrely cool. The anchor isn't even the Pokemon, it's the seaweed, hence the Ghost/Grass typing. And it uses its anchor to hunt Wailords, because apparently grass can now defeat 47 feet marine behemoths, and this raises some serious questions. Brambleghast was proof enough, but now we know the truth that undead plants can be living, sentient creatures.

This also raises some ethical questions, because if the implication of eating cute little useless Magikarp wasn't enough, do people in the Pokemon World kill these seaweed ghosts, dry them out, and wrap rice up in them? But if you can't really kill ghosts, do the spirits locked up in Dhelmise's seaweed body go on to possess those unfortunate enough to eat it?

Of course, Dhelmise's overall appearance is one of an anchor, not seaweed. This leads us to the question of how long Dhelmise has even existed as a lost soul trapped in a seafaring device. Anchors weren't invented until seafaring technology was developed, so there are two main possibilites that can branch from this.

Dhelmise existed before the invention of anchors, and it attached itself to rocks and other inanimate objects in the ocean to survive.

As ships became more abundant and shipwrecks started happening, the souls of those lost at sea came back to undead life in the form of these algae, growing on anchors as a means of fighting off predators who would have interest in thin, flimsy seaweed.

This post was literally just me having an aneurysm over the fact that I have never heard of Dhelmise before, and being relatively new to the Pokemon franchise, I can't really say much more about it. Maybe Dhelmise isn't as underappreciated as I think it is, or maybe this post holds some truth. Either way, Dhelmise is a bizarrely cool Pokemon with a lot of potential for interesting lore, and it deserves a lot of love.
