[SET COMMENTS]
With Ice Scales, Blissey is a titanic special wall that checks prominent attackers like Gholdengo and Iron Bundle; Good as Gold is an alternative to stop Taunt and Pain Split users like Flutter Mane, which otherwise take advantage of Blissey. Thunder Wave lets Blissey cripple foes such as Corviknight and Kingambit, which could otherwise switch into it free of charge, while Calm Mind helps Blissey keep up with foes like Nasty Plot Gholdengo, ensuring they do not break past it. Shadow Ball lets Blissey hit Ghost-types like Flutter Mane, Dragapult, and Gholdengo, denying them setup opportunities. Heavy-Duty Boots is preferred to avoid entry hazard chip damage from repeated switch-ins, but Leftovers provides passive recovery. Physically defensive teammates like Fur Coat Avalugg and Flogres help cover the physical attackers that threaten Blissey, like Aerilate Dragonite and Dragon Rush Dragapult. Slow but powerful wallbreakers such as Slither Wing and Ceruledge appreciate Blissey paralyzing offensive foes, giving them more chances to wallbreak.
