[SET COMMENTS]
This set makes excellent use of Teleport, making Chansey a great defensive pivot to bring its teammates in safely. Seismic Toss deals consistent damage, ignoring Chansey's rather lackluster offensive stats. Toxic cripples common switch-ins to Chansey such as Krookodile and Terrakion. Soft-Boiled provides Chansey with reliable recovery and works wonderfully in conjunction with Toxic to help it beat foes like Slowbro and Pain Split Rotom-W. Teleport is the key to this set, enabling Chansey to absorb a hit to safely bring in a teammate while gaining momentum. Teleport also eases prediction, should your opponent choose to switch Pokemon. Thunder Wave can be used over Toxic as a way to cripple fast setup sweepers such as Cobalion and Lycanroc-D. Heavy-Duty Boots is the best item for this set, preventing Chansey from being worn down from the likes of Spikes and Stealth Rock during its numerous switches in and out with Teleport. Eviolite is still an option due to the immense bulk it provides for Chansey, allowing for an easier time versus the likes of Starmie and Copperajah; however, it is ill-advised because of how easily Chansey will be worn down and should only be used with reliable entry hazard removers such as Galarian Weezing and Noivern.

This set is more suited towards balance and bulky offense teams that can benefit from Chansey's Teleport. VoltTurn users such as Mienshao, Rotom-W, and Scyther can maintain the momentum that Chansey provides through Teleport. Noivern is also capable of maintaining momentum and can support Chansey with its ability to check Celebi, Zarude, Cobalion, and Keldeo. Slowbro is also able to use Teleport and has great synergy with Chansey thanks to its ability to check the likes of Keldeo and Terrakion, making it a great partner. Powerful wallbreakers such as Obstagoon and Terrakion greatly benefit from freely entering the battlefield and can prey on common Chansey switch-ins such as Doublade and Zarude, making them excellent partners. Teammates like Doublade and Incineroar can check Steel-types like Cobalion and Doublade that can take advantage of Chansey due to their immunity to Toxic; Doublade is also immune to Seismic Toss, allowing it to freely switch into and set up on Chansey repeatedly. As a teammate, Doublade can also help check the aforementioned Celebi and Terrakion. Entry hazards are good to pair with Chansey, as its ability to gain momentum and force switches via Teleport can wrack up damage dealt by Spikes and Stealth Rock. Roserade is able to provide Spikes support and can act as an offensive check to Keldeo, making it a good partner. Cobalion makes for a good partner, as its ability to provide Stealth Rock and maintain momentum thanks to Volt Switch pairs nicely with Chansey. Cobalion also helps against Zarude and Mimikyu and can absorb Knock Off from the likes of Escavalier and Obstagoon.

[SET COMMENTS]
With its gigantic base HP and good Special Defense stat along with the ability to use Eviolite, Chansey acts as a fantastic mixed wall within the UU tier. Chansey is able to shrug off powerful hits from the likes of Noivern, Choice Specs Sylveon, and Starmie and can support a team in a plethora of ways. However, Chansey must be cautious of Knock Off users and Corrosive Gas from Galarian Weezing, as it relies heavily on Eviolite to check threats like Starmie and Porygon-Z. Seismic Toss is a consistent way for Chansey to deal damage and prevents Chansey from being complete setup bait. Toxic is a great move for Chansey, putting setup sweepers on a timer and crippling common switch-ins such as Terrakion and Mienshao; it also keeps certain Ghost-types such as Chandelure and Mimikyu from completely walling Chansey. Chansey is an effective Stealth Rock user, capable of pressuring common entry hazard removers like Galarian Weezing and Rotom-W. Wish is a viable option to keep teammates healthy throughout the match, as with Chansey's fantastic base HP stat, it's able to almost fully heal Pokemon such as Tentacruel and Doublade with its large Wish passes. Heal Bell is also an option if cleric support is needed.

Chansey is best suited towards stall and balance teams looking for a great mixed wall and Stealth Rock user. Due to its rather passive nature, strong physical attackers such as Terrakion, Mienshao, Incineroar, and Doublade can take advantage of Chansey and force it out or use it as setup bait. Slowbro makes for an excellent partner, as it's capable of absorbing Fighting-type attacks from the likes of Terrakion, Keldeo, and Mienshao relatively easily, as well as checking Mamoswine too. Chansey in return has no issues taking on the likes of Roserade and non-Trick Rotom-C. Ghost-types such as Doublade, Palossand, and Jellicent can also comfortably take on Fighting-type attacks. Doublade in particular can take on the likes of Calm Mind + Rest Sylveon once it's forced to use Rest by Chansey and Calm Mind Reuniclus. Galarian Weezing is capable of absorbing strong physical attacks from wallbreakers such as Obstagoon and Zarude while also providing Defog support to prevent Chansey from being worn down as easily. Galarian Weezing is also a premier Knock Off switch-in and can provide utility in the form of Toxic Spikes and Corrosive Gas. Gastrodon is also able to absorb Knock Off thanks to its Sticky Hold ability, making it a good partner for Chansey. Tentacruel can provide Rapid Spin support and both set and absorb Toxic Spikes while checking Galarian Weezing, which Chansey would rather avoid if it is running Pain Split or Corrosive Gas. It also appreciates Chansey's Wish support, helping it better perform these roles. Quagsire can help deal with the multitude of setup sweepers like Mimikyu and Terrakion that can prey on Chansey's rather passive nature, as well as acting as a fantastic check to Bisharp. Should Chansey choose to run Wish, bulky Stealth Rock setters such as Palossand and Celebi make for ideal partners.

Hey, the QC team would like you to separate this analysis into two different sets, a defensive pivot with Teleport and a mixed wall with Rocks/Wish, which I have provided below. These sets often end up playing very differently, rely on different items, and usually fit on different team structures, and combining them into one set wouldn't really do them justice.

[SET]
name: Defensive Pivot
move 1: Seismic Toss
move 2: Toxic
move 3: Soft-Boiled
move 4: Teleport
item: Heavy-Duty Boots
ability: Natural Cure
nature: Bold

put a mention of Eviolite into the analysis for this one for now, but keep Boots as the only item, this may get changed by the time you get a QC check

[SET]
name: Mixed Wall
move 1: Seismic Toss
move 2: Toxic
move 3: Soft-Boiled
move 4: Stealth Rock / Wish
item: Eviolite
ability: Natural Cure
nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD

To help get this analysis more QC ready by the time you've included the second set, I'm going to provide some feedback on the team options that you have already written.

Chansey is best suited towards defensive and balance teams looking for a great mixed wall and Stealth Rocker. Fighting-types are Chansey's biggest weakness, as Close Combat from the likes of Terrakion or Mienshao can deal lots of damage. this extra bit feels really fluffy. Other non Fighting-types like Swords Dance Incineroar, Doublade, SD Lycanroc, BU Jungle Healing Zarude etc could also all be considered some of its greatest weaknesses, and its all due to its passivity which you should definitely be mentioning as the cause of it. Slowbro makes for an excellent partner, as it's capable of absorbing Fighting-type attacks very easily, be more specific about some of the Pokemon it checks like Terrakion, Mienshao, Keldeo while Chansey has no trouble taking on Roserade and Sylveon. not strictly true as Chansey loses to CM Rest Sylveon since it cant 3hko it, definitely needs to have something else on its team capable of pressuring a sleeping sylveon. Ghost-types such as Doublade, Palossand, and Jellicent can also comfortably take on Fighting-type attacks, Doublade is an absolutely massive partner here so it should definitely not be glossed over quite as much. In particular you should note how the Slowbro + Doublade combo gives you a much more comfortable answer to Terrakion, since each of the individual parts can fold to Megahorn/EQ on SD sets, while also noting that it gives you an all important answer to stuff like CM Reuniclus and CM Rest Sylveon which chansey doesn't beat. while Chansey can easily sponge special attacks such as Celebi's Leaf Storm or Chandelure's Fire Blast that are often aimed at the aforementioned Pokemon. be careful with this, Chansey isn't a good answer to NP + recover Celebi sets, and is extremely vulnerable to being tricked by Chandelure. I would be less generic about this with your examples, also worth noting that Chandelure doesn't want to switch into palossand and struggles to pressure Doublade. consider mentioning Noivern here. Galar-Weezing is capable of absorbing strong physical attacks, Again be less generic and give some specific examples, worth noting how Weezing provides one of the best answers to Obstagoon and Zarude for Chansey in particular. while also providing Defog support to prevent Chansey from being worn down as easily. Tentacruel acts in similar fashion, capable of spinning away entry hazards with Rapid Spin, and can provide Toxic Spikes support to better help Chansey stall. Mention how tentacruel appreciates the Wish support from Wish chansey, as its pretty hard to justify on fat teams otherwise when its so frail. If you mention Tentacruel, one of the biggest focuses should also be on how it massively improves your matchup versus Weezing when you aren't using Galarbro, as Toxic Spikes, Neutralising Gas, and Corrosive Gas combined can be an absolute headache to deal with, especially if Weezing has pain split or wish support of its own to stay alive and consistently pressure you. Steel-types such as Cobalion and Bisharp are immune to Toxic and can force Blissey out with their strong STAB attacks. this is also pretty generic, and falls back into line with the first point at the beginining where I talk about passivity. As such, bulky Fire-types such as Incineroar and Arcanine make for decent partners. When writing analyses, you shouldn't really just list off a type chart like this. Important to give concrete examples about why you'd use these Pokemon in particular.

You should definitely talk about Noivern as a partner in here for more balanced teams. Its ability to pressure stuff like Celebi, Zarude, Incineroar, Terrakion, Doublade etc is all incredibly valuable to Chansey.

While similar to its Mixed Wall set, this Chansey sets makes excellent use of Teleport, making Chansey a great defensive pivot to bring its teammates in safely. Seismic Toss deals consistent damage, ignoring Chansey's rather lackluster offensive stats. Toxic cripples common switch ins to Chansey such as (Examples), and works in conjunction with Chansey's ability to stall. Your next comment about Soft Boiled + Toxic is the same point your bringing up here. Soft-Boiled keeps Chansey healthy, provides Chansey with reliable recovery and works wonderfully in conjunction with Toxic to help it beat foes like Slowbro and Pain Split Rotom-W. Teleport is the crux GP does not like you using the word 'crux' so change it of this set, enabling Chansey to absorb a hit to safely bring in a teammate, gaining momentum. Teleport also eases prediction, should your opponent choose to switch Pokemon. Give a mention to Thunder Wave Heavy-Duty Boots is the best item for this set, as Teleport encourages a lot more switching with this set, preventing Chansey from being worn down from the likes of Spikes and Stealth Rock. Eviolite is still an option however, due to the immense bulk it provides for Chansey; however, it is ill-advised because of how easily Chansey will be worn down.

This Chansey set is more suited towards balance and bulky offense teams who can benefit from Chansey's Teleport. Volt-turn users such as Mienshao, Rotom-W, and Scyther can maintain the momentum that Chansey provides through Teleport. Noivern is also capable of maintaining momentum, and can support Chansey with its ability to check Celebi, Zarude, Cobalion, and Keldeo and Incineroar. You aren't really an Incineroar check + Noivern doesn't want to take a STAB Knock. Powerful wallbreakers such as Terrakion and Obstagoon greatly benefit from freely entering the battlefield, making them excellent partners. Due to Blissey's rather passive nature, Steel-types such as Cobalion and Doublade can cause Chansey problems, as they are immune to Toxic and can force Blissey out with their strong STAB attacks. As such, both Arcanine and Incineroar can soften their blows with Intimidate, and can proceed to burn them or threaten them with super effective STAB attacks. Entry hazards are good to pair with Chansey, as it's ability to gain momentum and force switches via Teleport can wrack up damage dealt by Spikes and Stealth Rock. Roserade is able to provide Spikes support, and can act as a decent check to Keldeo, making it a good partner. Cobalion makes for a good partner, as it's ability to provide Stealth Rock and maintain momentum thanks to Volt Switch pair nicely with Chansey. Mention how Cobalion helps with Zarude and Mimikyu, as well as absorb Knock Off from foes like Escavalier and Obstagoon.

Add a mention of Slowbro. This thing pretty much stomachs any hit from 90% of the physical attackers in this tier +Keldeo and creates a Teleport core with Chansey.

Seismic Toss is a consistent way for Chansey to deal damage, and prevents Chansey from being complete setup bait. Toxic is a great move for Chansey, putting a timer on set up sweepers, and cripples common switch ins such as Terrakion and Mienshao. Mention how it stops it being completely walled by some Ghost-types like Chandelure. Soft-Boiled keeps Chansey healthy throughout the match, as without Heavy-Duty Boots or Leftovers, Chansey can be worn down over the course of battle. You don't need to mention these other items, just say how it offsets being easily worn down by entry hazards. Stealth Rock chips the opposing team, and is fundamental on nearly every competitive team. If Stealth Rocks are already on your team, Chansey is an effective Stealth Rock user capable of pressuring common entry hazard removers like Galarian Weezing and Rotom-W. Your sentence was rather filler, so stating how it has a good matchup against most Defog/Spinners is better. Wish is a viable option to keep teammates healthy throughout the match. Heal Bell is also an option if cleric support is needed.

Add a line about Chansey's over-reliance on Eviolite if it wants to check foes like Starmie and Porygon-Z well

Chansey is best suited towards defensive stall and balance teams looking for a great mixed wall and Stealth Rock user. Due to its rather passive nature, strong physical attackers such as Terrakion, Mienshao, Incineroar, and Doublade can take advantage of Chansey, and force it out, or use it as setup bait. Slowbro makes for an excellent partner, as it's capable of absorbing Fighting-type attacks from the likes of Terrakion, Keldeo, and Mienshao relatively easily. Chansey in return has no issues taking on the likes of Roserade or Rotom-M. Well, it has to be careful about Rotom having trick. It's also Rotom-C not M. Consider changing the example or specify non-Trick. Ghost-types such as Doublade, Palossand, and Jellicent can also comfortably take on Fighting-type attacks. Doublade in particular acts as a fantastic secondary check to Terrakion, should Terrakion choose to run Megahorn for Slowbro, and can take on the likes of Calm Mind Rest Sylveon and Calm Mind Reuniclus. Galar-Weezing Galarian Weezing is capable of absorbing strong physical attacks from wallbreakers such as Obstagoon and Zarude, while also providing Defog support to prevent Chansey from being worn down as easily. Tentacruel acts in similar fashion, capable of spinning away entry hazards with Rapid Spin, and can provide Toxic Spikes support to better help Chansey stall. Tentacruel also helps versus Galar-Weezing, which can be troublesome for Chansey if it has Pain Split or Corrosive Gas and defensive teams as a whole, and benefits hugely from Chansey's ability to provide huge Wish passes, capable of healing Tentacruel should it get worn down.

Mention Quagsire. It can help with most set up sweepers like Mimikyu etc.

Mention Knock absorbers. Most of your partners are weak to Knock Off. You can tie it in with Galarian Weezing, then give some more mentions on the next line.

If the analyses isn't too long then add a mention Tangela, it can check a large majority of physical attackers like Terrakion

While similar to its Mixed Wall set, this Chansey set makes excellent use of Teleport, making Chansey a great defensive pivot to bring its teammates in safely. Seismic Toss deals consistent damage, ignoring Chansey's rather lackluster offensive stats. Toxic cripples common switch ins to Chansey such as Krookodile and Marowak-Alola. just going to work off the fact it isnt' super common here + so slow that its very easily abused by Teleport especially with a rocks weakness to boot, but would rather you replaced marowak with something like terrakion. Soft-Boiled provides Chansey with reliable recovery and works wonderfully in conjunction with Toxic to help it beat foes like Slowbro and Pain Split Rotom-W. Teleport is the key to this set, enabling Chansey to absorb a hit to safely bring in a teammate, gaining momentum. Teleport also eases prediction, should your opponent choose to switch Pokemon. Thunder Wave can be used over Toxic as a way to cripple Poison and Steel-types, such as Cobalion and Bisharp. its not really just for these, and you'd defo always rather be Teleporting vs a predicted Bisharp anyway, its a fantastic tool to cripple greedy threats like Lycanroc and terrakion trying to come in on you more then anything. Heavy-Duty Boots is the best item for this set, as Teleport encourages a lot more switching with this set, preventing Chansey from being worn down from the likes of Spikes and Stealth Rock. Eviolite is still an option due to the immense bulk it provides for Chansey; however, it is ill-advised because of how easily Chansey will be worn down. I'd comment specifically on when you would specifically consider using Eviolite, eg. when you have solid removal and are very weak to something like Copperajah, Specs Chandelure, or Starmie that you need the Eviolite boost to actually handle safely, since all of these can 2HKO boots variants (with some slight chip for starmie).

This Chansey set is more suited towards balance and bulky offense teams who can benefit from Chansey's Teleport. Volt-turn users such as Mienshao, Rotom-W, and Scyther can maintain the momentum that Chansey provides through Teleport. Noivern is also capable of maintaining momentum and can support Chansey with its ability to check Celebi, Zarude, Cobalion, and Keldeo. Slowbro is also able to Teleport, and has great synergy with Chansey, what specific synergy does it actually have? eg. checking keld/rak making it a great partner. Powerful wallbreakers such as Terrakion and Obstagoon greatly benefit from freely entering the battlefield, making them excellent partners. I'd like to see mention of some of the stuff they actually can get typically brought in against by Blissey, like Doublade for Goon. Due to Blissey's rather passive nature, Steel-types such as Cobalion and Doublade can cause Chansey problems, as they are immune to Toxic and can force Blissey out with their strong STAB attacks. Its also them setting up 100% freely everytime Chansey is in and doesn't click Teleport thats really fearsome, since Doublade doesn't even fear being worn down by seismic toss either. As such, both Arcanine and Incineroar can soften their blows with Intimidate and can proceed to burn them or threaten them with super effective STAB attacks. Its kind of unlikely that you'd really run Arcanine on a Teleport chansey team, its really just a fat balance / semi-stall thing atm. Also worth noting that Incineroar + Chansey is still extremely easily pressured by Doublade since Doub has very little drawback to necessarily clicking Close Combat here, while it doesn't really help at all with Cobalion. Offer an alternative example to Arcanine that handles Cobalion well, eg. Doublade, keeping Incineroar should be fine but i'd note the CC weakness. You can definitely tie in a mention of Doublade into when you bring up Noivern earlier too. Entry hazards are good to pair with Chansey, as it's ability to gain momentum and force switches via Teleport can wrack up damage dealt by Spikes and Stealth Rock. Roserade is able to provide Spikes support, and can act as a decent check to Keldeo, its actually a pretty horrifyingly bad check to Keldeo in reality, Id prefer you just call it an offensive check or something as its a rather poor switch in thats 2HKO'd by nearly all of Specs Keld's moves and nearly 2hkoed by non specs secret sword/icy wind too. making it a good partner. Cobalion makes for a good partner, as it's ability to provide Stealth Rock and maintain momentum thanks to Volt Switch pair nicely with Chansey. Cobalion also helps against Zarude and Mimikyu, and can absorb Knock Off from the likes of Escavalier and Obstagoon.

With it's gigantic base HP and good Special Defense stat, along with the ability to use Eviolite, Chansey acts as a fantastic mixed wall within the UU tier. Chansey is able to shrug off powerful hits from the likes of Noivern, Choice Specs Sylveon, and Starmie, and can support a team in a plethora of ways. Chansey must be cautious of Knock Off users i'd include Corrosive Gas Weezing here too, as Chansey relies heavily ov on? Eviolite to check threats like Starmie and Porygon-Z. honestly its also extremely vulnerable to being Tricked by Pz too, idk if you'll be able to necessarily fit that in here easily though without making it a mouthfull. Seismic Toss is a consistent way for Chansey to deal damage, and prevents Chansey from being complete setup bait. Toxic is a great move for Chansey, putting a timer on set up sweepers, and cripples common switch ins such as Terrakion and Mienshao, and also keeps certain Ghost-types such as Chandelure and Mimikyu from completely walling Chansey. Soft-Boiled keeps Chansey healthy throughout the match, and can prevent Chansey from being worn down over the course of battle. Chansey is an effective Stealth Rock user capable of pressuring common entry hazard removers like Galarian Weezing and Rotom-W. Wish is a viable option to keep teammates healthy throughout the match. tbh i'd be a bit more positive on this, it basically fully heals most pokemon in the tier with its wishes, making it absolutely fantastic for stuff like doublade/tenta compared to your other wish passing options on fat like umbreon/sylveon that you might try and run with it. Heal Bell is also an option if cleric support is needed.

Chansey is best suited towards stall and balance teams looking for a great mixed wall and Stealth Rock user. Due to its rather passive nature, strong physical attackers such as Terrakion, Mienshao, Incineroar, and Doublade can take advantage of Chansey, and force it out, or use it as setup bait. Slowbro makes for an excellent partner, as it's capable of absorbing Fighting-type attacks from the likes of Terrakion, Keldeo, and Mienshao relatively easily. worth mentioning it as a mamo check too. Chansey in return has no issues taking on the likes of Roserade or non-Trick Rotom-C. Ghost-types such as Doublade, Palossand, and Jellicent can also comfortably take on Fighting-type attacks. Doublade in particular can take on the likes of Calm Mind Rest Sylveon after it is forced to Rest by Sylveon and Calm Mind Reuniclus. Galarian Weezing is capable of absorbing strong physical attacks from wallbreakers such as Obstagoon and Zarude, while also providing Defog support to prevent Chansey from being worn down as easily. Galarian Weezing is also a premier Knock Off switch in, which Chansey is very weak to. Weezing also works well as a Corrosive Gas + Toxic Spikes set on these sort of teams, boots spam can kinda make it hard for fat teams to make any progress with their own Chansey's SR, but corrosive gas really opens this up. Toxic Spikes are also super nice to make defensive progress, and if you choose to run a Neutralising Gas weezing set its a pretty poor Defogger anyway. Gastrodon is also able to absorb Knock Off thanks to it's Sticky Hold ability, making it a good partner for Chansey. Tentacruel acts in similar fashion, capable of spinning away entry hazards with Rapid Spin, and can provide Toxic Spikes support to better help Chansey stall. Tentacruel also helps versus Galar-Weezing, which can be troublesome for Chansey if it has Pain Split or Corrosive Gas and benefits hugely from Chansey's ability to provide huge Wish passes, capable of healing Tentacruel should it get worn down. mention how it also absorbs tspikes which is very handy for these sorta (semi)stall teams. Quagsire can help deal with the multitude of setup sweepers like Mimiyku and Terrakion that can prey on Chansey's rather passive nature, and acts as a fantastic check to Bisharp.

Mention Chansey-team appropriate SR setter replacements for Wish sets.

Definitely give a mention to Noivern somewhere for the more balance orientated teams, revenge killing capabilities are especially useful when Chansey lets a lot of stuff like Terrakion attempt to set up, and it can also offer a pretty decent Defogger on defensive teams if you choose to not run fog on weezing for whatever reason, eg. want tspikes or are neut gas, since its got a nice matchup versus the main spikes setter in Roserade.

I'd like to have one quick look at this after you've implemented, just to check nothing was missed and make sure the second team options didn't become too long.

Teleport is the key to this set, enabling Chansey to absorb a hit to safely bring in a teammate, gaining momentum. Teleport also eases prediction, should your opponent choose to switch Pokemon. Thunder Wave can be used over Toxic as a way to cripple fast setup sweepers such as Cobalion and Lycanroc-D. Heavy-Duty Boots is the best item for this set, as Teleport encourages a lot more switching with this set, preventing Chansey from being worn down from the likes of Spikes and Stealth Rock. Eviolite is still an option due to the immense bulk it provides for Chansey, allowing for an easier time versus the likes of Starmie and Copperajah; however, it is ill-advised because of how easily Chansey will be worn down, and should only be used with reliable hazard removers such as Galar Weezing and Noivern.

This Chansey set is more suited towards balance and bulky offense teams who can benefit from Chansey's Teleport. Volt-turn users such as Mienshao, Rotom-W, and Scyther can maintain the momentum that Chansey provides through Teleport. Noivern is also capable of maintaining momentum and can support Chansey with its ability to check Celebi, Zarude, Cobalion, and Keldeo. Slowbro is also able to Teleport, and has great synergy with Chansey thanks to its ability to check the likes of Keldeo and Terrakion, making it a great partner. Powerful wallbreakers such as Obstagoon and Terrakion greatly benefit from freely entering the battlefield, and can prey on common Chansey switch ins such as Doublade and Zarude, making them excellent partners. Due to Blissey's rather passive nature, Steel-types such as Cobalion and Doublade can cause Chansey problems, as they are immune to Toxic and can force Blissey out with their strong STAB attacks, Doublade in particular being immune to Seismic Toss as well. As such, Incineroar can soften their blows with Intimidate and can proceed to burn or threaten them with super effective STAB attacks. Incineroar really shouldn't be trying to check Cobalion at all. Incineroar must be wary of Close Combat from Doublade on the switch in however, so keep this in mind when playing around Doublade. Speaking of Doublade, it acts as a fantastic check to Cobalion, making it a good partner for Chansey, while also checking the previously mentioned Celebi and Terrakion. This whole bit about checking Coba/Doub is pretty long, could easily cut it down to something like "Teammates like Doublade and Incineroar can check Steel-types like Cobalion and Doublade that can take advantage of Chansey due to their immunity to Toxic; Doublade is also immune to Seismic Toss allowing it to freely switch into and set up on Chansey repeatedly. As a teammate, Doublade can also help check the aforementioned Celebi and Terrakion". just a suggestion but I think you can definitely cut a biti here to reduce the length of this section. Entry hazards are good to pair with Chansey, as it's ability to gain momentum and force switches via Teleport can wrack up damage dealt by Spikes and Stealth Rock. Roserade is able to provide Spikes support, and can act as an offensive check to Keldeo, making it a good partner. Cobalion makes for a good partner, as it's ability to provide Stealth Rock and maintain momentum thanks to Volt Switch pair nicely with Chansey. Cobalion also helps against Zarude and Mimikyu, and can absorb Knock Off from the likes of Escavalier and Obstagoon.

[SET COMMENTS]
With it's gigantic base HP and good Special Defense stat, along with the ability to use Eviolite, Chansey acts as a fantastic mixed wall within the UU tier. Chansey is able to shrug off powerful hits from the likes of Noivern, Choice Specs Sylveon, and Starmie, and can support a team in a plethora of ways. Chansey must be cautious of Knock Off users and Corrosive Gas from Galar Weezing, as Chansey relies heavily on Eviolite to check threats like Starmie and Porygon-Z. Seismic Toss is a consistent way for Chansey to deal damage, and prevents Chansey from being complete setup bait. Toxic is a great move for Chansey, putting a timer on set up sweepers, and cripples common switch ins such as Terrakion and Mienshao, and also keeps certain Ghost-types such as Chandelure and Mimikyu from completely walling Chansey. Soft-Boiled keeps Chansey healthy throughout the match, and can prevent Chansey from being worn down over the course of battle. This is pretty obvious and unecessary to state imo Chansey is an effective Stealth Rock user capable of pressuring common entry hazard removers like Galarian Weezing and Rotom-W. Wish is a viable option to keep teammates healthy throughout the match, as with Chansey's fantastic base HP stat, its able to almost fully heal Pokemon such as Tentacruel and Doublade with its large Wish passes. Heal Bell is also an option if cleric support is needed.

Chansey is best suited towards stall and balance teams looking for a great mixed wall and Stealth Rock user. Due to its rather passive nature, strong physical attackers such as Terrakion, Mienshao, Incineroar, and Doublade can take advantage of Chansey, and force it out, or use it as setup bait. Slowbro makes for an excellent partner, as it's capable of absorbing Fighting-type attacks from the likes of Terrakion, Keldeo, and Mienshao relatively easily, and can check Mamoswine too. Chansey in return has no issues taking on the likes of Roserade or non-Trick Rotom-C. Ghost-types such as Doublade, Palossand, and Jellicent can also comfortably take on Fighting-type attacks. Doublade in particular can take on the likes of Calm Mind Rest Sylveon once its forced to Rest by Chansey and Calm Mind Reuniclus. Galarian Weezing is capable of absorbing strong physical attacks from wallbreakers such as Obstagoon and Zarude, while also providing Defog support to prevent Chansey from being worn down as easily. Galarian Weezing is also a premier Knock Off switch in, and can provide utility in the form of Toxic Spikes and Corrosive Gas. Gastrodon is also able to absorb Knock Off thanks to it's Sticky Hold ability, making it a good partner for Chansey. Tentacruel acts in similar fashion, i dont really get how its acting in a similar fashion to gastrodon, unless this isn't what you mean. capable of spinning away entry hazards with Rapid Spin, and can provide Toxic Spikes support to better help Chansey stall, while also absorbing Toxic Spikes on Chansey's side of the field. Tentacruel also helps versus Galar-Weezing, which can be troublesome for Chansey if it has Pain Split or Corrosive Gas and benefits hugely from Chansey's ability to provide huge Wish passes, capable of healing Tentacruel should it get worn down. This part on Tenta is also pretty long, and could be cut down to something like "Tentacruel can provide Rapid Spin support and both set and absorb Toxic Spikes, while checking Galarian Weezing, which Chansey would rather avoid if it is running Pain Split or Corrosive Gas. It also appreciates Chansey's Wish support, helping it better perform these roles". Again just a suggestion but I know you commented on the length. Quagsire can help deal with the multitude of setup sweepers like Mimiyku and Terrakion that can prey on Chansey's rather passive nature, and acts as a fantastic check to Bisharp. Should Chansey choose to run Wish, bulky Stealth Rock setters such as Palossand and Celebi make for ideal partners.

While similar to its Mixed Wall set, This Chansey set makes excellent use of Teleport, making Chansey a great defensive pivot to bring its teammates in safely. Seismic Toss deals consistent damage, ignoring Chansey's rather lackluster offensive stats. Toxic cripples common switch-(AH)ins to Chansey such as Krookodile and Terrakion. Soft-Boiled provides Chansey with reliable recovery and works wonderfully in conjunction with Toxic to help it beat foes like Slowbro and Pain Split Rotom-W. Teleport is the key to this set, enabling Chansey to absorb a hit to safely bring in a teammate, (RC) while gaining momentum. Teleport also eases prediction, should your opponent choose to switch Pokemon. Thunder Wave can be used over Toxic as a way to cripple fast setup sweepers such as Cobalion and Lycanroc-D. Heavy-Duty Boots is the best item for this set, as Teleport encourages a lot more switching with this set, preventing Chansey from being worn down from the likes of Spikes and Stealth Rock during its numerous switches in and out with Teleport. Eviolite is still an option due to the immense bulk it provides for Chansey, allowing for an easier time versus the likes of Starmie and Copperajah; however, it is ill-advised because of how easily Chansey will be worn down, (RC) and should only be used with reliable entry hazard removers such as Galar Galarian Weezing and Noivern.

This Chansey set is more suited towards balance and bulky offense teams who that can benefit from Chansey's Teleport. Volt-turn VoltTurn users such as Mienshao, Rotom-W, and Scyther can maintain the momentum that Chansey provides through Teleport. Noivern is also capable of maintaining momentum and can support Chansey with its ability to check Celebi, Zarude, Cobalion, and Keldeo. Slowbro is also able to use Teleport, (RC) and has great synergy with Chansey thanks to its ability to check the likes of Keldeo and Terrakion, making it a great partner. Powerful wallbreakers such as Obstagoon and Terrakion greatly benefit from freely entering the battlefield, (RC) and can prey on common Chansey switch-(AH)ins such as Doublade and Zarude, making them excellent partners. Teammates like Doublade and Incineroar can check Steel-types like Cobalion and Doublade that can take advantage of Chansey due to their immunity to Toxic; Doublade is also immune to Seismic Toss, (AC) allowing it to freely switch into and set up on Chansey repeatedly. As a teammate, Doublade can also help check the aforementioned Celebi and Terrakion. Entry hazards are good to pair with Chansey, as it's its ability to gain momentum and force switches via Teleport can wrack up damage dealt by Spikes and Stealth Rock. Roserade is able to provide Spikes support, (RC) and can act as an offensive check to Keldeo, making it a good partner. Cobalion makes for a good partner, as it's its ability to provide Stealth Rock and maintain momentum thanks to Volt Switch pair pairs nicely with Chansey. Cobalion also helps against Zarude and Mimikyu, (RC) and can absorb Knock Off from the likes of Escavalier and Obstagoon.
