>The green kelp is actually its body
So, Does this mean Dhelmise is really just a Helm's wheel with kelp tentacles?
Yes. That's why it gets a boost to Steel-type moves; it uses the anchor, but it isn't the anchor.

I don't think it's even the wheel, it's just the kelp. the wheel and anchor are both shit it's picked up.
Why does this looks straight out of Phantom Hourglass?
>>30447905
No, it means thousands of ships have sunk and the kelp grows on to them and takes over the remnants of the ship, particularly the anchor and wheel.

Would be cool if this thing got an evolution next gen that made it a giant big-ass haunted galleon wreckage.
>>30447905
I think it's not even the wheel.
The "eye" isn't even an eye, but just the wheel's compass.
Is the wheel the wheel of the ship or rather the wheel that pulls the anchor back out of the water?
>even the slow swing of its idle stance is based on anchor escapement used in pendulum clocks

That's a ship's wheel. Looks nothing like an achor windlass, mate.
As a heads up, there is also a propeller and hub mounted on the wheel portion.

Since the wheel has a compass in it I guess it's the steering one
I find creepy that Dhelmise is literally just a bunch of kelp with no features. Imagine if pokémon like Palossand and Rotom-W respectively looked like a literal sandcastle and a washing machine without expressive features.
