With Imposter, Chansey transforms into a far bulkier version of the opposing Pokemon, which can be further bolstered by Eviolite. This provides a myriad of benefits, including blanket checking most Pokemon, scouting sets, and PP stalling less threatening foes. While Eviolite is usually the best item, Toxic Orb provides much better matchups against Poison Heal users while Covert Cloak is useful against Nuzzle and Spirit Shackle users. The given moves offer the most utility in the rare situations Chansey is not transformed, like phazing Substitute users, pivoting, acting as a cleric, and removing Chansey's Toxic Orb. Offensive threats such as Zacian-C and Poison Heal users such as Arceus-Fairy appreciate the information Imposter Chansey provides through scouting, with Poison Heal users also acting as Knock Off absorbers. Imposter Chansey appreciates slow pivoting from Pokemon like Dondozo and RegenVest Ting-Lu for safe scouting; these Pokemon can also provide Knock Off support, aiding against Judgment users like Miraidon that can otherwise defeat Imposter Chansey. Tera Normal gives Chansey a STAB boost on Judgment, improving its matchup into Pokemon like Miraidon, while Tera Fire and Tera Ghost are useful against Zacian-C and trapping moves, respectively.

With Imposter, Chansey transforms into a far bulkier version of the opposing Pokemon, which can be further bolstered by Eviolite. This allows it to blanket check most Pokemon, including dangerous setup sweepers and, by also copying the foe's stat changes, allow it to check some setup sweepers. In addition, Imposter lets Chansey have free PP each time it switches in, allowing it to PP stall more passive Pokemon that cannot threaten it grants Chansey effectively infinite PP, allowing it to PP stall Pokemon that can't threaten it. These traits make Imposter Chansey a significant consideration in teambuilding, forcing teams to carry checks for all their own Pokemon. This tells people about Improofing as a concept in BH but doesn't add anything to the analysis. Additionally, Imposter Chansey can also easily scout opposing movesets and abilities, a highly valuable and desirable trait when movesets can be very unpredictable. Choice Scarf is an alternative item that, at the cost of bulk and being locked into one move, ensures Imposter Chansey will always outspeed the opponent, making it an excellent revenge-killer.Scarf imp hasn't done anything for 6 years Covert Cloak is also an option, giving up bulk for having a better matchup against certain status moves moves with secondary effects such as Nuzzle from passive Pokemon like RegenVest Goodra-H. or Magical Torque, also Its also notable for preventing Imposter Chansey from being trapped and PP stalled removed by Spirit Shackle. Lastly, Toxic Orb is an option that reduces Imposter Chansey's effectiveness against most Pokemon in return for a significantly improved matchup against Poison Heal users, who otherwise typically can defeat Imposter. The moves selected are for the rare occasions Chansey is not transformed. Whirlwind is necessary to phaze foes behind a Substitute. Teleport and Parting Shot provide pivoting options to bring a teammate in safely. Trick lets Chansey dispose of its Toxic Orb when it is no longer needed. I feel fling + jungle is necessary for torb imp
Imposter Chansey is extremely splashable, self-sufficient, and appreciated by everything. In particular, oOffensive threats such as offensive Zacian-C and Poison Heal users such as Arceus-Fairy appreciate the scouting information Imposter Chansey provides on opposing defensive Pokemon to better determine their potential checks, with Poison Heal users also acting as a Knock Off absorber. Imposter Chansey appreciates slow pivoting from Pokemon like Dondozo and RegenVest Ting-Lu for safely scouting, and these Pokemon can also provide Knock Off support against Judgment users like Miraidon that can otherwise defeat Imposter Chansey. For Tera types, Normal gives Judgment STAB, improving its matchup against Judgment Miraidon, while Fire gives a better matchup against Zacian-C. Lastly, Tera Ghost is an option to escape trapping in a pinch. Tera Normal gives Chansey a STAB boost on Judgment, improving its matchup into users like Miraidon, whereas Tera Fire is useful for Zacian-C and Tera Ghost can be used to escape trapping. Idk if tera normal for mirai actually works or if you just get fried by RV, on you

Additionally, Imposter Chansey can also easily scout opposing movesets and abilities, a highly valuable and desirable trait when movesets can be very unpredictable. This provides a myriad of benefits, including blanket checking most Pokemon, especially setup sweepers, scouting sets, and PP stalling foes with limited recovery. Covert Cloak is also an option, giving up bulk for having a better matchup against certain moves with secondary effects, such as Nuzzle and Magical Torque, as well as preventing Imposter Chansey from being trapped and removed by Spirit Shackle. Toxic Orb is an option that reduces Imposter Chansey's effectiveness against most Pokemon in return for a significantly improved matchup against Poison Heal users, who otherwise typically can defeat Imposter. While Eviolite is usually the best item, Covert Cloak and Toxic Orb provide better matchups against Nuzzle and Poison Heal users, respectively.

Teleport and Parting Shot provide pivoting options to bring a teammate in safely. Trick lets Chansey dispose of its Toxic Orb when it is no longer needed, as well as have some niche utility in potentially obtaining a Toxic Orb against Poison Heal users. Fling is an alternative option to remove Toxic Orb that cannot be blocked as easily. The given moves offer the most utility in the rare situations Chansey is not Transformed, like phazing out Substitute users, acting as a cleric, and pivoting. Imposter Chansey is extremely splashable, self-sufficient, and appreciated by everything.

We can discuss on discord, I know these are deep cuts, but I think they keep the relevant information while being closer to the mini length.
