Blissey is a pain, a bitch, and everyones favorite whore. She is the most annoying pokemon. We all hate her. Especially when we are partial to special attack pokemon. Every time I seems to be tilted towards special attacking, mainly because it hits harder and is more effective IMO. But that leaves you with the ever so common problem of eliminating blissey. I open this thread as brainstorming every idea possible to defeat the fat bitch.
Current DIRECT solutions I have used to defeat her.
Mixed Sweeper prediction - Pain in the ass IMO. Pokemon like Mixmence, Infernape, and Kingdra can dispose of Blissey, but often lose power with hitting everything else, or just don't have the sweeping potential of a full out sweeper. Plus, in Salamence and Kingdra's case, you actually have to predict the switch in. Then, Blissey just switches out after the first hit and comes in later to recover the damage.
Dugtrio - Dugtrio is the most reliable solution to eliminate her. Traps her and kills her in 2 hits with Earthquake, but then leaves you open to Gyarados, Dragonite, and Salamence who take the opportunity to set up and rape you, meaning you need to waste a teamslot countering them, which means youve wasted 2 slots. Then, what if Blissey softboils 16 times while you both run out of pp but she still stands (its happened to me twice).
Heatran - I started using Magma Storm to trap Blissey switch-ins, then explode on her. But I got outpredicted and Exploded on a protect, then had to deal with her all match. I also got unlucky a few times with Magma storm missing, her T-waving me, then tossing me to death while i shiver in full paralysis. Not fun.
Any other Special Sweeper with Explosion - Works nicely, even makes you chuckle quite hard. But again, protect Blisseys screw this.
Heracross Guts Pursuit - Switch him into a T-wave, and he nails her with pursuit. Comes up shy of 2HKO, and then she can just recover off the damage later.
Fighting pokemon in General - Bliss makes good set-up fodder. Especially with SD Lucario. But I get screwed when people are using Blisselia or BlissGlis, leading to inevitable stall. Not fun.
As of now, the most successful plan is Dugtrio, but I really don't like using it. Any other ideas?
