It seems that other Pokémon’s efforts to take its delicious, nutritious egg away from it caused Chansey to get faster at fleeing.
Because the eggs on their bellies have been overharvested by people in the past, the Chansey population remains very small.
Chansey Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
At 450 BST, Chansey is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Evolve it into Blissey before bringing it to any serious fight.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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.
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 physical attacker with base 5 Attack. Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 50 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. Fits the wall role.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, For a casual playthrough, Chansey works as a placeholder. Normal coverage is useful early. The real payoff is Blissey. That's where the stats start mattering.
