What are your best strategies for snagging the Rare Candy from Liam's/Celeste's Blissey? Here's the best one I've come up with:
Abomasnow (lead)
Blizzard
Grasswhistle
(anything)
(anything)
@ Wide Lens
Abomasnow reliably gets through the maid battles in the given number of turns thanks to Snow Warning. How ever many "extra" turns you have, "waste" them on the first battle since the first Clefairy's signature stall technique (they all have a different one, in addition to Endure) is Minimize, which is nullified by Blizzard's 100% accuracy in Hail. The others have Sing, Encore, Swagger, and Bounce, respectively, which can present problems. Blizzard should OHKO all the Clefairys in one turn, thanks to Hail ruining their Endure strategy.
Once you meet the Blissey in battle, the next part, unfortunately, is a bit up to luck. Use Grasswhistle, whose horrible accuracy is slightly aided by the Wide Lens, to try to put it to sleep before it can Fling its Rare Candy. Once it is asleep, immediately switch to someone with Thief/Covet/Trick/Switcheroo, hope it stays asleep on the switch, and then grab it. Your efforts are obviously ruined if Grasswhistle misses and it Flings, or if it awakens on the switch and Flings.
Obviously, this strategy is far from foolproof. You can, of course, be guaranteed to snag the Rare Candy if you lead with something (faster) that knows Thief/Covet/Trick/Switcheroo, or Embargo, but no Pokémon that can learn any of those moves can also induce auto-weather, which seems to be the only reliable way to get through the first 5 battles in the necessary number of turns. You would think that Tyranitar would be able to learn Thief, but he can't. Does anyone have any better ideas?
