Is Chansey Good in Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee Playthrough?
Chansey has the highest HP in the game with special bulk to match. Can't evolve into Blissey in Let's Go, so this is the final form. More of a defensive anchor than an offensive contributor, but it takes hits nothing else survives.

2 MethodsThe best route is Catch Combo at full boosts, about 1 in 274 on each try. Tune it below.
Catch Combo: Catch one species back-to-back. A Lure stacks on top of a 31-plus combo.
Full Odds: Walk through grass, surf, or fish. Every encounter is its own independent shiny roll.
How many you have done, or plan to do.
| Chance | Encounters |
|---|---|
| 10%lucky few | 29 |
| 25%one in four | 79 |
| 50%coin flip | 190 |
| 90%very likely | 630 |
How is this calculated?
Every encounter has the same shiny chance, the Shiny Odds Per Try shown above. Each one is a separate roll that does not care how many you have already done, so the more you hunt, the higher your overall chance of at least one shiny. The formula below turns your odds and your number of tries into that combined chance.
chance after N tries = 1 − (1 − p)^N, where p = 1 / odds per try
Example at 1 in 8,192 (classic full odds): about 864 encounters for a 10 percent chance, 5,678 for 50 percent, and 18,862 for 90 percent.
The table above flips that around: it shows how many encounters it takes to reach a 10, 25, 50, and 90 percent chance at your current odds. Turning on boosts like the Shiny Charm, sandwiches, or chains improves your odds, so the encounter numbers drop.
These are estimates, not promises. Most games have no pity counter, meaning no guaranteed shiny no matter how many you hunt, so even Very Likely is not guaranteed: some hunters find one early, others go well past that point.

Chansey Weakness
Fighting 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.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Fighting |
| 0x (Immune) | Ghost |

Let's Go Chansey Best Moveset
250 HP and 105 Sp. Def make Chansey the best special absorber in the format, same as everywhere else. What changes here is the 5 Defense with no Held ItemEviolite to patch it and no AbilityNatural Cure to clear status. The moveset tanks special attacks indefinitely but any physical contact is immediately lethal.
Best Build
Calm raises Sp. Def and lowers Attack. Madam Celadon sets this nature when you pick Green, then Red. It costs 10,000 Pokedollars and lasts for the rest of the day.
