[SET COMMENTS]
Blissey makes use of its great special bulk and versatile movepool to beat many special attackers in the 1v1 metagame. Hyper Voice is a solid STAB attack that bypasses Substitute, making it especially useful against Pokemon like PP stall Kyurem, Leech Seed Venusaur, and Whimsicott. Shadow Ball hits Ghost-types like Chandelure and Gengar and has a 40% chance to lower the foe's Special Defense due to Serene Grace, while Flamethrower is useful against Steel-types like Magnezone, Ferrothorn, and non-Occa Berry Scizor. Calm Mind provides Blissey with offensive pressure and prevents it from losing to opposing Calm Mind users like Primarina as well as Amnesia users like Galarian Corsola. Scope Lens is useful versus stall Pokemon like Rotom-W, Galarian Corsola, and Slowbro, allowing Blissey to more easily score a critical hit. A Timid nature with 216 Speed EVs allows Blissey to outspeed neutral-natured base 60 Speed Pokemon such as Primarina and Sylveon, while 52 Defense EVs let Blissey survive a Choice Band-boosted Bullet Punch from Scizor and avoid the 2HKO from Corviknight's Iron Head. An alternate EV spread of 52 Def / 252 SpA / 204 Spe with a Modest nature can also be used, which improves Blissey's odds versus bulky Pokemon like Yawn Sylveon and Togekiss while hitting the same defensive benchmarks. However, the reduced Speed makes it prone to losing to Speed-invested Modest Goodra, as well as a few uncommon sets such as fast Calm Mind + Encore Primarina or fast Body Press Magnezone.
A few special attackers are capable of defeating Blissey and therefore deserve particular note. Porygon-Z can set up with Nasty Plot and use Eerie Impulse to overpower Blissey. Choice Scarf Gardevoir utilizes Trick and Disable, only losing to an unlikely Shadow Ball Special Defense drop or critical hit. Togekiss has positive chances to win thanks to its combination of Thunder Wave and Air Slash, while Choice Specs variants can simply spam Air Slash, which is also favorable to the opponent due to flinches. Additionally, Assault Vest Goodra can easily tank Blissey's moves and whittle it down using Acid Spray. While in most matchups Blissey can safely set up with Calm Mind turn one, against faster Pokemon with Encore or Trick, like Togekiss and Chandelure, Blissey should attack to prevent the possibility of getting locked into a non-damaging move. Blissey also finds itself susceptible to many prominent physical attackers like Galarian Darmanitan, Urshifu-R, and Haxorus. As such, Blissey appreciates the support from Pokemon that are able to deal with these threats such as Crustle, defensive Arcanine, and Primarina. Despite Blissey's stallbreaking capabilities, it struggles to break past certain stall threats such as non-Defense Curl Snorlax and Chansey, which team options such as Curse Dragapult and Iron Defense Urshifu-R are able to manage.
