Overview
########
- Gargantuan HP stat
- Anything without some kind of physical attack stands no chance
- Very nice Special Defense stat
- Walls the Nidos and other threats
- Really nice support
- Faces competition from Florges
- Wrecked by physical Fighting-types (Hera, Mien etc.)
- Typing isn't great
########
name: Support
move 1: Softboiled / Wish
move 2: Aromatherapy / Protect / Wish
move 3: Toxic / Thunder Wave
move 4: Seismic Toss
ability: Natural Cure
item: Leftovers
evs: 252 Def / 252 SpDef / 4 HP
nature: Calm
Moves
========
- Wish support teammates, almost always healing them of all their HP due to Blissey's crazy HP stat
- Softboiled provides quicker recovery to Blissey, but can't heal teammates
- Aromatherapy heals teammates and Blissey from status
- Toxic allows Blissey to stall out anything that doesn't get hit by Seismic Toss
- Thunder Wave cripples opponent, aiding sweepers and such
- Seismic Toss deals solid damage to anything that isn't a Ghost-type
- Protect helps to stall out the opponent or to protect Blissey from Wish
Set Details
========
- Natural Cure is really the only helpful ability that Blissey has, allowing her to cure herself of status rather than wasting a turn with Aromatherapy
- Leftovers increases Blissey's bulk
- Max investment in Defense and Special Defense to make Blissey as bulky as possible, and the rest in HP because Blissey already has insane HP so investment kinda isn't needed
- Calm nature to further increase special bulk
Usage Tips
========
- Literally just come in on any special attacker (be wary of Psychock)
- Moves like Wish or Thunder Wave are best used to aid sweepers
- Toxic is meant to be used against Ghost-types that aren't affected by Seismic Toss
- Don't even think about switching into Fighting-types, especially physical ones
Team Options
========
- Sweepers like Honchkrow appreciate the support that Blissey provides
- Anything that resists or is immune to Fighting-types, such as Chandelure or Slowbro is greatly appreciated; incidentally, Slowbro and Blissey provide an excellent defensive core
- Physically Defensive Florges walls Heracross, and Florges also can use Aromatherapy, freeing up a moveslot for Blissey
Other Options
########
- An offensive set with things like Hyper Voice and Shadow Ball is somewhat usable, but Blissey has an underwhelming 75 Special Attack stat and with no investment in at least HP or Defense she is left vulnerable to virtually every physical attack
Checks & Counters
########
**Physical Fighting-types**: Physical Fighting-types, like Heracross or Mienshao, absolutely decimate Blissey with their respective STAB attacks
**Taunt users**: Taunt users, like Sableye can prevent Blissey from doing her job which kinda sucks because the only move Blissey has left to use is Seismic Toss which doesn't even effect Sableye.
