[Overview]
  • Can wall Special Attacks.
  • Access to Aromatherapy makes it a great cleric
  • Can status opponents with paralysis and poison
  • Weak to most Fighting-type moves
  • Blissey has better stats and can be a better attacker
[SET]
name: Cleric
move 1: Aromatherapy
move 2: Seismic Toss
move 3: Thunder Wave / Toxic
move 4: Soft-Boiled
item: Leftovers

[Set Comments]
  • Chansey can heal burns and sleep for teammates
  • Seismic Toss deals damage against foes and does not rely on the attack stat
  • Thunder Wave ruins Pokemon that rely on speed / Toxic causes residual damage to foes
  • Soft-Boiled heals HP by half and increases longevity
  • Chansey heals teammates while dealing out status
  • Leftovers gives Chansey needed HP each turn

[Additional Comments]
  • Chansey can absorb Special Attacks
  • Skarmory is a good teammate for its ability to switch into non-STAB fighting moves
  • Gengar can be a switch-in for Fighting-type moves; It can burn physical attackers to aid Chansey
[Other Options]
  • Ice Beam can be used in place of Thunder Wave / Toxic but will not have a large impact with Chansey's Sp. Attack stat.
  • Agility can be used alongside Baton Pass and Swords Dance to pass boosts to a teammate, although this is extremely difficult to pull off.
  • Counter could be a good substitute for Seismic Toss; This may not be reliable because Chansey has poor Defense for taking physical hits.
[Checks and Counters]
  • Fighting-types like Heracross, Blaziken, Machamp, Breloom, Hariyama, and Medicham pose large threats to Chansey
  • Gengar can use Taunt and render the set useless
  • Boosted physical attacks can cripple Chansey
 
why would you not use blissey

there's literally no reason to use chansey over it, especially since having both on the same team is pretty bad
