Stats & Training
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.
This kindhearted Pokémon nurses sick Pokémon to health. It senses feelings of sadness.
It is a Pokémon that delivers happiness. Eating its egg is said to make one kind to everyone.
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.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Fighting |
| 0x (Immune) | Ghost |
- Fairy type does not exist — Dragon has fewer checks
- Physical / Special split now per-move (introduced Gen IV)

Blissey Guide
In Diamond & Pearl, 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. Soft Boiled with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Diamond & Pearl, 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 special attacker with base 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.
For Diamond & Pearl, the core moveset is Soft Boiled, Seismic Toss, Thunder Wave, and Stealth Rock. Soft Boiled leads at 20% usage. This set covers the wall role with a mix of damage and utility.
