[SET COMMENTS]
Owing to its phenomenal health and Eviolite-boosted special bulk, Chansey is the premier special wall in the AG metagame checking the threatening special attackers in the tier, such as Xerneas, special sets of Yveltal, Primal Kyogre, Eternatus, and Calm Mind Arceus formes, by threatening them with Toxic or neutering their Special Attack boosts with Confide. Along with having spectacular special bulk, Chansey has access to an amazing ability in Natural Cure, allowing it to switch into any status move with impunity, and recovery in the form of Soft-Boiled, allowing it to regain health throughout the match. In addition, Chansey is capable of whittling down the health of the opponent’s Pokemon through Toxic, which also ensures that Toxic-susceptible wallbreakers such as Rayquaza, Yveltal and Primal Groudon cannot switch in without risking status. Heal Bell enables Chansey to support its team throughout the match by removing their status, greatly benefiting the bulkier teams on which it is often seen. Confide allows Chansey to stall out opposing special attackers that might otherwise boost past it, such as Calm Mind Primal Kyogre, Geomancy Xerneas, Calm Mind Arceus formes, and occasionally Yveltal and Eternatus. Seismic Toss can be run over either Toxic or Confide in order to reduce Chansey's weakness to Taunt and to chip Ferrothorn and Necrozma-DM. It is, however, generally inadvised, as forgoing Toxic prevents Chansey from effectively checking special attackers with recovery, while running Seismic Toss over Confide renders Chansey setup bait for Pokemon that can boost their special attack and are not crippled by Toxic, notably Calm Mind + Refresh Arceus formes and Rest Primal Kyogre. Chansey's extreme passivity also makes it easily trapped by Pokemon such as Gothitelle and Mega Gengar. In addition, its inability to damage Steel-types or bypass Substitute renders it setup bait for Pokemon such as Zacian-C, Necrozma-DM, and Zygarde-C. Chansey’s pitiful physical bulk makes it vulnerable to any physical moves from even defensive Pokemon. Chansey also suffers greatly from having its Eviolite removed through Knock Off and being afflicted with the occasional Taunt from Yveltal.
Chansey is extremely passive, and so it most commonly sees use on stall or bulky balance teams. Chansey partners especially well with Lugia and Necrozma-DM, which can fend off many physical attackers. Chansey also partners well with Pokemon such as support Arceus formes and Rest users such as Primal Groudon or Zygarde-C, which can help fight off threats such as Zacian, Mega Rayquaza, and Dragon Dance Zygarde. Chansey is also useful in removing crippling status such as burn or paralysis from sweepers, making it a strong pick on semi-stall teams that appreciate cleric support.
