Chansey is a defensive staple on Normal-type teams thanks to its massive HP and Special Defense stats along with Eviolite and its various amounts of utility. One of these forms of utility is its access to Stealth Rock, which can allow it to assist its teammates by chipping down opposing threats, making it easier to revenge kill them. Seismic Toss allows Chansey to not be completely passive, which lets it wear down opposing special attackers very quickly and break most Substitutes. These two moves paired with the amazing recovery of Soft-Boiled allow Chansey to wear down types that rely on their special attackers, namely Electric, Poison, and Psychic. Teleport can be used on its last slot to help Chansey act as a great pivot and get its offensive teammates in safely, or it can use Toxic to put opposing offensive Pokemon on a timer and make it harder for your opponent to keep them in. Its ability in Natural Cure also allows it to absorb status ailments for its offensive teammates and works well with Teleport when scouting for status moves. Chansey invests its EVs in bulk and Defense so that it can take physical hits better, especially from weaker revenge killers like Choice Scarf Excadrill.
Every other Pokemon on Normal appreciates Chansey's ability to wall special attackers like Hydreigon, Indeedee-M, and Hatterene. Offensive Pokemon like Indeedee-M, Diggersby, Bewear, Obstagoon, and Heliolisk especially appreciate its Teleport support, as they can immediately threaten the opposing team with their dangerous power once switched in. Indeedee-M can force out dangerous Fighting-types like Conkeldurr and Keldeo with a Choice Scarf while also breaking down opposing walls like Toxapex and Amoonguss thanks to Expanding Force's power. Diggersby, Obstagoon, and Bewear coming in for free can also be a huge boon against opposing bulky teams, as they give most defensive cores in the game a very hard time. Heliolisk also appreciates Teleport pivoting greatly, as it can threaten to KO Keldeo, which is a massive threat to Chansey thanks to its Secret Sword and also has a great matchup against opposing Water-type teams. Outside of Teleport, Porygon2 is Chansey's preferred partner thanks to its ability to wear down physical attackers and complete the Eviolite defensive core. This physical wall appreciates Chansey's ability to wear down special attackers that threaten Porygon2, and in return it walls the physical attackers like Mimikyu that threaten Chansey. Ditto is also a great Pokemon on Normal that can beat out certain setup sweepers or wallbreakers that try to take advantage of Chansey's passive nature, such as Dragon Dance Tyranitar and Shell Smash Cloyster.
