Whirlpool Effect

Has the user swing its anchor diagonally, dealing damage and applying a slowing effect to opposing Pokemon. Every third time the move is used, it generates a whirlpool centered on the user, pulling in nearby opposing Pokémon. This move's cooldown is reduced every time the user hits with a basic attack.

How to Use Whirlpool

Utilize the Special Mechanics

Whirlpool has two (2) special mechanics that synergizes with each other.

On one hand, when you use Whirlpool for the third time, it summons a whirlpool centered on Dhelmise that deals damage to and pulls in nearby enemies. This is an extremely useful effect during teamfights as you can easily set up knockouts for your team.

On the other hand, Whirlpool's cooldown is reduced each time Dhelmise attacks enemies, allowing you to use the move more frequently.

With this in mind, you should utilize Whirlpool's cooldown mechanic to quickly use the move three times and trigger the whirlpool effect.

Whirlpool Patch History
