What do you guys think about giving Blissey Icy Wind?
Then again, Blissey cannot do much to Celebi, except for walling her. Perish Song will just force both of you out.I was thinking about using blissey/chansey to help counter celebi, as not much can safely switch into her, but then I remembered that celebi also gets perish song. Blissey and chansey are extremely difficult pokemon to use in the current metagame. A lot of special attackers they're supposed to be countering have ways of getting past them.
Perhaps a bit late reply, but Icy Wind has uses on the right teams. I am using it right now, on a team that tries to force switches for entry hazard damage (icy wind/charm/softboiled/SR)What do you guys think about giving Blissey Icy Wind?
Yeah, cause that really improves the thread
Always invest in Defense on Blissey. It doesn't need the extra special defense for 99% of threats anyway. However, whether to invest in HP or not is a whole other debate.Yeah, cause that really improves the thread
But on a serious note should blissy invest in defence or special defence, i was leaning more towards defence because it is alreday a boss special wall and that defence Ev's may help it but what do you guys think?
Yes. But only if you have a good reason to use it (entry hazards)Is CharmBliss still a viable option?
Well obviously Infernape can just roflstomp SkarmBliss or any other fighting type with STAB. Victini in Sun walks ALL over SkarmBliss with it's 150 base powered STAB move. As for a third member, Starmie is often overlooked as an OU special sweeper, but many are unaware of it's defensive set. The following set is the one i usually run with SkarmBliss:SkarmBliss is broken up easily by fighting type attacks (whether physical or special), which are all too popular this gen. That's why tertiary member who resists fighting type is always paired up with it, the most popular being Tentacruel and Jellicent. SkarmBliss can't function on its own it needs a tertiary member otherwise it will be ripped apart by fighting type attacks.
Blissey always has a huge HP stat, that's one of the main reasons it's such a good wall.Just to reiterate what the above poster said, 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpD should never be run with Bold. The nature gives higher boosts to higher stats, so unless the Def goes along with a huge HP stat, it's not worth going Bold.
