How Dhelmise plays

Hook, line, and sinker! You’ll make a fool of your competition with Dhelmise’s Unite Move, Seaweed Snare. Dhelmise throws its anchor and ensnares a Pokémon from the opposing team, dealing damage and locking it down. Other Pokémon from the opposing team unlucky enough to be hit by the anchor will also take damage and be shoved. Finally, Dhelmise converts a portion of the damage dealt by Seaweed Snare into HP recovery.
