The whole point to playing Chansey or anything Eviolite-dependent is to find and KO the Knock Off user first.
yeah? and if the knock off user is a bulky poke like mew or alomomola? and what if it is a poke that chansey was supposed to counter like torn-t or azelf? what if there are more than one knock off user?
And she can wish pass to every single one of their counters. Are you telling me you've manage to make a team where all 6 members can either fast taunt and not get killed by seismic tosses, or 2HKO chansey outright?
I mean knock off exists but that does not really solve the problem, Chansey is still a decent special wall without it. And still more bulky than any other wish cleric in the tier without eviolite.
i think you've not used chansey much. chansey is the most pressured pokemon in the whole metagame, being forced to take A LOOOOT of attacks, being vulnerable to every hazard and lacking leftovers. furthermore, i think like half of the special attackers that cannot directly beat chansey, have u-turn/volt switch. i'll try to explain it with some common ladder situations i've experienced when i used chansey:
1) foe's magnezone is facing my suicune and stealth rock is on both fields; i can be dumb and send something like zygarde, risking losing a pokemon for free, i can be even dumber and let your suicune in, or i can do the "safe" move going to my 100% chansey (actually chansey is NEVER at 100%, but lets assume it); magnezone uses volt switch: now i am at 58%, while the foe sends something like mienshao to harass my team; next time magnezone comes, it will 2HKO chansey with thunderbolt.
2) my mega aggron is sitting at 30%, and i need to wish it using chansey. i wait for the foe to send an offensively null pokemon like alomomola, and i send chansey against it. i use wish, alomomola uses knock off. ok, i healed my mega aggron, but now chansey takes 60% from a +2 fire blast from mega houndoom.
3) again, stealth rock on both fields. foe's is fielding specs hydreigon against my physically defensive mew, so i send chansey as he uses draco meteor for 25% damage. now, he'll switch to a heracross. i have wish + protect, and go for wish in the first turn. if i use protect to heal chansey back to 100%, he can use swords dance and kill 3-4 pokemons from my team. if i send something like zapdos to take the close combat/megahorn/knock off and receive the wish and leave it unscathed, i'm risking receiving a CB stone edge OHKOing my zapdos resulting in a dead zapdos and a chansey at 56% HP. if i let chansey stay in and use toxic, i'm risking heracross using close combat and then the the foe sweeps me with manectric or draco meteor me as i have no option for shielding it.
do you understand now? using chansey is very hard and it envolves a lot of risks, and not to mention that some teams have 3-4 special attackers with the intent of overpowering chansey, etc. it's not a broken pokemon
Part of my problem is that she is specially unbreakable. We don't have Lucario's +2 STAB Aura Sphere in UU. There is no Pokemon that can reliably 2HKO her specially. Keldeo does not count because Secret Sword is essentially a physical attack. I hesitate to mention Psyshock users because most users require upwards of 2 boosts to 2HKO with what is, again, essentially a physical attack, and one that is still pretty limited in distribution.
No other special wall can claim this. Giratina, Lugia, and Ho-oh, the next specially bulkiest Pokemon in the game after the blobs, all go down after enough punishment. But Chansey is simply too bulky for UU power level; she's worth 15 Raditz when the rest of the tier is putting out at best 5.
well, yeah, chansey is an extremely hard pokémon to OHKO... so what? there are many ways to tactically defeat chansey, which i already mentioned. curse registeel is also an extremely hard pokémon to OHKO, so is shuckle, etc. you're mistaking "unbreakable" for "unOHKOable"
