How to Get Shiny Blissey in Emerald

Blissey has no path inside Emerald; trade a shiny Chansey in from a Generation 3 game and raise its friendship until it evolves, or transfer an evolved Blissey directly, with the shine preserved either way. See every game where Shiny Blissey can be hunted

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.

Pokedex Entry

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.

Pokemon Emerald

Blissey Emerald Guide

  • In Emerald, Blissey plays as a wall. Not the fastest, so pick your spots carefully.

  • In Emerald, Blissey pairs best with Skarmory, Tyranitar, and Swampert. Skarmory has Good synergy and covers what Blissey can't handle on its own.

  • In Emerald, Modest is the go-to nature for Blissey. That's +Sp. Atk / -Attack. Pair it with 252 Def / 252 SpA / 4 Spe EVs. Fits the wall role.

  • No. Blissey isn't catchable in Emerald. Obtain one in FireRed or LeafGreen, then trade it over.

Game Availability

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