Blissey absorbs special hits like nothing. Natural Cure clears status conditions when it switches out, making it even harder to wear down. The tradeoff is physical coverage — anything hitting that side gets through. It relies on priority moves or Scarf to keep up.

The stat line revolves around HP. Percentage recovery gets extra mileage here. Sp. Def backs it up, though Attack doesn't pull its weight. Worth 3 HP EVs on a fast 800K XP curve to max out.

Pokedex Entries

This kindhearted Pokémon nurses sick Pokémon to health. It senses feelings of sadness.

Brilliant Diamond

It is a Pokémon that delivers happiness. Eating its egg is said to make one kind to everyone.

Shining Pearl

Blissey Weakness

Good

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.

max HP and Defense EVs and Bold nature turn Blissey into a wall that doesn't fold easily. Heavy-Duty Boots brings hazard immunity on every switch-in for the long game, and Soft-Boiled handles sustain. Natural Cure fills in the gaps.

Hard to wall, honestly. Blissey threatens 13 types beyond its own STAB, with Fairy and Dark standing out. Pair that with Giga Impact and Hyper Beam and switchins need to think twice.

  3. Blissey
    Step 3Blissey ✓

  • 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.

  • Chansey evolves into Blissey by leveling up. Blissey is the final evolution in a 3-stage line starting from Happiny. At 540 BST, it's got solid stats to work with.

  • 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 special attacker with base 75 Sp. Atk. Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. But the speed tells the real story — at base 55 Speed, it won't be moving first often. Fits the wall role.

  • Blissey appears in 18 games, including Gold & Silver, Crystal, and Ruby & Sapphire.

Debuting in Gold & Silver, Blissey appears in 18 games across 8 generations. A reliable presence in most mainline games, typically found through wild encounters.
