While most trainers evolve Chansey into Blissey immediately, the unevolved form has a niche with Eviolite boosting its defenses. Ghost moves can't touch it, and only a single type hits it super-effectively. Known as the Egg Pokemon.

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 2 HP EVs on a fast 800K XP curve to max out.

Chansey Weakness

Good

Fighting-type moves hit Chansey for super-effective damage. The upside? Ghost-type moves can't touch it at all. Chansey's special bulk (base 105 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.

    or evolve from Happiny (Step 1)

  • At 450 BST, Chansey is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Evolve it into Blissey before bringing it to any serious fight.

  • Watch for Hitmonlee (Fighting) when using Chansey. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. Chansey has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.

  • Happiny evolves into Chansey using a Oval Stone. Chansey evolves into Blissey by leveling up. Chansey is a middle-stage evolution in the Happiny line.

  • Chansey 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 Chansey's base 105 Sp.Def, letting it soak special attacks as a pivot.

  • Chansey is a special attacker with base 35 Sp. Atk. Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. But the speed tells the real story — base 50 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. Fits the wall role.

  • Chansey appears in 21 games, including Yellow, Red & Blue, and Gold & Silver.

Present since Red & Blue, Chansey appears in 21 games spanning 9 generations. Gen 1 originals like Chansey have the longest track record of availability in the series.
