Analysis

Dhelmise is an interesting, though ultimately forgettable Pokemon in Go. It's a decent Ghost Type attacker in the absence of better options, but that's about the extent of its power. It's just such a shame that it doesn't have the bulk to act as a team anchor...

Offense

Best

Shadow Claw

Shadow Ball

Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball is about the best option for Dhelmise.
Metal Sound is a good move, but it doesn't do much here. Meanwhile, Astonish isn't great.
Power Whip, Heavy Slam, Brutal Swing, and Wrap fall behind for Dhelmise.

Defense

Best

Astonish out-plays Shadow Claw on defense, if only slightly, while both are better than Metal Sound.
Brutal Swing is arguably the best Charged Move for Dhelmise thanks to its low energy cost and great neutral coverage that includes counter-coverage against other Ghosts.
Wrap is another solid option.
Power Whip and Heavy Slam are good moves on defense as well.
Shadow Ball has high power for a 2-bar move, but pairing it with Astonish makes Dhelmise easily walled by a Normal or Dark Type.

PvP

Best

Shadow Claw

Brutal Swing

Power Whip

Shadow Claw is an outstanding Fast Move in PvP, hitting hard while generating a great amount of energy. It pairs perfectly with Brutal Swing and its good power and very low energy cost. Finally, Power Whip is a bit more expensive, but it has great Grass Type power to cut down the opposition.
