From Now On, We'll...
I will be attempting to aid this project as a writer, as while I'd like to say I'm a good battler, I'm no Stone.
If possible, i'll take Blissey's overview. Blissey because the first few sentences are just a rant on how it's harder to use in BW then in DPP which could be condensed into one, two sentences tops.
Current Blissey Overview (OU):
Proposed Overview:
also honestly Virizion shouldn't have a OU analysis. It just isn't OU tier.

Current Blissey Overview (OU):
Why it should be changed: The overview spends a entire two sentences complaining about previous generations, when what changed in a previous generation isn't relevant to pokemon today. In addition, while it does bring up the issue of fighting types and psyshock, it is somewhat outdated as Blissey faces a far larger threat today thanks to mixed attackers. Finally, it doesn't really say why I would want to use it over Chansey.Blissey's job gets harder and harder with each new generation. ADV forced Blissey to deal with Substitute + Calm Mind users, while DPP introduced Nasty Plot, Life Orb, and Choice Specs to boost special moves, and overall stronger opposing Pokemon. BW is Blissey's toughest challenge yet, with the introduction of Psyshock, which lets special attackers hit Blissey's Defense instead of her Special Defense. Additionally, with stronger Fighting-type Pokemon that were introduced in this generation, Blissey is forced out much more often. However, Blissey managed to gain one massive boost. With the new Wish mechanics, Wish now heals 50% of the user's HP, meaning that Blissey will be able to heal most injured Pokemon back to full HP. Furthermore, she still has the Special Defense to tank many attacks despite competition from her younger sibling Chansey. With the proper teammates, Blissey can still wall the majority of special attackers and be a general nuisance to the opposing team.
Proposed Overview:
Why this review should be the update: I remove all mention of increased difficulties in prior generations, updated the flaws to include relevant threats, and mentioned why you would want to use Blissey over Chansey as why you would want to even remotely consider it in this meta.Blissey is a titanic, Specially Defensive fat blob of a Pokemon that unfortunately has had a hard time transitioning into B/W2. With the move Psyshock, which allows a user to target Blissey's inferior Defense stat instead of her titanic Special Defense stat, as well as the fact that many special attackers (such as Tornadus-T and Keldeo) now tend to pack a physical fighting move to force it as well as numerous steel and other Specially Defensively bulky Pokemon out, it has not had a good time. To make matters worse, there are Pokemon with such titanic Special Attacking stats/setup potential (Such as Thundurus-T) that they can simply force Blissey out with the threat of game-ending setups.
However, it's not all gloom and doom, as Wish now restores 50% of the user's HP, which means its Wishes now will almost always heal the targeted Pokemon to full HP. In addition, Blissey still performs the role of Specially Defensive tank almost without parallel, holding the second largest special bulk in the game, second only to Chansey. It does, however, have two advantages over its earlier evolution - it is not forced to use the item Eviolite, and it has a workable Special Attack stat. While it isn't the easiest Pokemon to use, Blissey is still a massive wall that stops special attacks cold, and should be considered for any team that has trouble with Special Attackers.
also honestly Virizion shouldn't have a OU analysis. It just isn't OU tier.
