Blissey Weakness

Type-wise, Blissey takes extra damage from Fighting. Ghost moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. Blissey's special bulk (base 135 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.

Blissey Guide

  • Blissey looks average on paper at 540 BST. But Natural Cure is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. B-Tier wall on our tier list.

  • Blissey's biggest threats include Machamp (Fighting), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. Blissey has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.

  • Blissey gets Natural Cure, Serene Grace, and Healer. But Natural Cure is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that. Natural Cure synergizes with Blissey's base 135 Sp.Def, letting it soak special attacks as a pivot.

  • Blissey is a mixed attacker with base 10 Attack and 75 Sp. Atk. Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. Speed tells the real story. At base 55 Speed, it won't be moving first often. Fits the wall role.

  • The core moveset is Soft Boiled, Seismic Toss, Stealth Rock, and Calm Mind. Soft Boiled leads at 0% usage. This set covers the wall role with a mix of damage and utility.

Game Availability

Debuting in Gold & Silver, Blissey appears in 18 games across 9 generations. A reliable presence in most mainline games, typically found through wild encounters.
