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.
If it senses sadness with its fluffy fur, a BLISSEY will rush over to the sad person, however far away, to share an egg of happiness that brings a smile to any face.
Blissey Weakness
GoodType-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.
- Dark and Steel types added — Fairy does not exist yet
- Moves are Physical or Special based on type, not per move
The three-stage chain from Happiny through Chansey ends here at Blissey. Want more? Breed for Happiny eggs. A decent partner pool available via one egg group. The evolution from Happiny pushed Blissey to 540 total stats. HP saw the largest single gain at +155.
How to Evolve
Breed with Blissey to get Happiny eggs (with patience) using 27 partners from the Fairy egg group. Notable egg moves include Aromatherapy, Heal Bell, Metronome and 2 more.
Bulk and offense in one package. Blissey runs Leftovers for passive recovery each turn with a Modest nature, so it survives long enough to threaten with Soft-Boiled. Max Sp. Atk without Speed EVs and the remaining moves make it hard to safely switch into.

Recommended Teammates
Hard to wall, honestly. Blissey threatens 11 types beyond its own STAB, with Ice and Fighting standing out. Pair that with Hyper Beam and Double-Edge and switchins need to think twice.

No wild encounters for Blissey in Emerald. Bring Chansey over from Red, Yellow, or Ultra Sun, then level through the stages. Each step in the chain is laid out below.
Blissey looks average on paper at 540 BST. But Natural Cure is why it sees play — build around that and it pulls its weight. S-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 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.
