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.
The eggs it lays are filled with happiness. Eating even one bite will bring a smile to anyone.
This kindhearted Pokémon nurses sick Pokémon to health. It senses feelings of sadness.
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.
The three-stage chain from Happiny through Chansey ends here at Blissey. Want more? Breed for Happiny eggs. No compatible partners available via one egg group. The evolution from Happiny pushed Blissey to 540 total stats. HP saw the largest single gain at +155.

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.
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.
