[OVERVIEW]
Between its bad defensive typing and its vulnerability to residual damage and strong physical attackers, Blissey has a hard time answering that much of the metagame. In contrast to other defensive Pokemon, such as Ferrothorn, Celebi and Jirachi, Blissey cannot check common threats such as Tyranitar, Mamoswine, Keldeo, Breloom, and Dragonite. While its ability to wield Leftovers, which its pre-evolution Chansey cannot do, may sound appealing, Blissey has a worse matchup against every threat in the tier. Stall teams also struggle to make a splash in the metagame, making it harder to fit Blissey on a viable team. For these reasons, Blissey is ultimately unviable and should not be considered on any serious team.
