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.
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 Weakness
GoodFighting-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.
Chansey connects Happiny to Blissey in this chain. At least one evolution here needs a special method. So far, HP got the biggest boost (+150 from Happiny). The final form adds another 90 stats on top.
How to Evolve
Breed with Chansey to get Happiny eggs (with patience) from the Fairy egg group. Notable egg moves include Aromatherapy, Counter, Endure and 9 more.
Lead with Chansey, set Stealth Rock, and keep pressure on. Natural Cure and Eviolite buy the time it needs, with max HP and Defense EVs letting it take hits while controlling the hazard game. Soft-Boiled keeps it healthy between hits.

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.
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.
