The Beloved Buddies event, launching soon in Pokémon GO, brings a new species to the game: Dhelmise. A Ghost/Grass-type species from the region of Alola, Dhelmise will only be found through one form of encounter… Three-Star Raids. Unusually, this event seems to have replaced the Valentine's Day event. We got some Valentine's Day features in the Small Yet Strong event, but it does indeed feel as if the once-annual Valentine's Day event has been erased from the game this year. Now, looking at Beloved Buddies, will Dhelmise be able to be found in its Shiny form? What other bonuses are coming to the game as part of the Beloved Buddies event? Let's get into the details.
