[SET COMMENTS]

Blissey is able to run Calm Mind to set up against the tier's setup sweepers and wallbreakers such as Oricorio-P and Magneton, forcing them out while threatening common switch-ins such as Toxicroak and Rotom. Shadow Ball is Blissey's main offensive tool, threatening out Ghost-types like Rotom and Haunter. On the other hand, Dazzling Gleam and Stored Power can be used together for more overall damage output, allowing it to beat opposing Blissey and Braviary. Thunderbolt and Ice Beam can be used as well thanks to their useful coverage against Pokemon like Sandaconda and Bruxish, but they don't synergize well with Blissey's common Tera types. Tera Ghost ensures that Shadow Ball OHKOes non-Eviolite Haunter while also giving Blissey more opportunities to set up against Fighting-types it would otherwise be weak to, such as Hisuian Sneasel, Medicham, and Toxicroak. Tera Fairy also gives Blissey defensive traits such as resisting Fighting- and Dark-type attacks while boosting the power of Dazzling Gleam.

Blissey appreciates help from physical walls such as Qwilfish, Sableye, and Sandaconda, which are able to punish common Fighting-types that threaten Blissey like Hisuian Sneasel, Medicham, and Paldean Tauros. Blissey always wants to keep its item, so Knock Off absorbers like Sandaconda and Sticky Hold Muk and Trick absorbers like Choice Scarf Rotom pair well with it. Blissey also enjoys item displacement support, so Knock Off users like Bombirdier and Sableye make for good teammates. If you are running Tera Fairy with Dazzling Gleam and Stored Power, you will lack power against Magneton and Tera Steel Appletun. This opens up room for your own Fighting-types like Hisuian Sneasel and Toxicroak, which also threaten Appletun before Terastallizing.

Thanks to its ability to naturally check special attackers, Blissey is able to run Calm Mind to setup against those sweepers and breakers to force them out and threaten their switch-ins. the tier's setup sweepers and wallbreakers such as Oricorio-P and Haunter, forcing them out while threatening common switch-ins such as Toxicroak and Rotom. (gave examples of Pokemon that Blissey can set up on and threaten on the switch) Shadow Ball is Blissey's main offensive tool after using Calm Mind, which takes (fluff) threatening out Ghost-types that are otherwise immune to Seismic Toss like Rotom and Haunter. On the other hand, Dazzling Gleam and Stored Power can be used together for more overall damage output, allowing it to beat opposing Blissey and Calm Mind Dudunsparce. Thunderbolt and Ice Beam can be used as well thanks to their useful coverage against Pokemon like Sandaconda and Bruxish, (gave some more examples of why you might want to run these moves) however, they doesn't synergize well with Blissey's common Tera types. Heavy-Duty Boots allows for Blissey to act as a wall early on in a battle without worrying about hazard damage before it comes in to setup. Tera Ghost pairs well with Shadow Ball to further boost its damage (mention how this helps Blissey reach offensive benchmarks, for example, ohkoing Haunter without Eviolite) while also giving Blissey more opportunities to setup against Fighting-types it would otherwise be weak to, such as Hisuian Sneasel, Medicham, and Toxicroak. Tera Fairy also gives Blissey defensive traits such as resisting Fighting- and Dark-type attacks while boosting the power of Dazzling Gleam.

Blissey appreciates help from physical walls such as Qwilfish, Sableye, and Sandaconda which are able to threaten and punish common Fighting-types that beat up on threaten Blissey like Hisuian Sneasel, Medicham, and Paldean Tauros. Blissey always wants to keep its item, so Knock Off absorbers like Sandaconda and Sticky Hold Muk as well as Trick absorbers like Choice Scarf Rotom pair well with it. Blissey also enjoys item displacement on the opponent's side, so Knock Off users like Bombirdier and Sableye make for good teammates. Due to Blissey easily switching into special attacks, it can sometimes take damage before being able to use Calm Mind, so slow pivots like Eelektross and Eject Pack Appletun work well to get Blissey on the field safely. (seems a bit redundant, everyone benefits from slow pivots but Blissey doesn't really need slow pivots to get in safely because it can use its bulk to get in and setup anyways) If you are running Tera Fairy with Dazzling Gleam and Stored Power, you will lack power against Magneton and Tera Steel Appletun. This opens up room for your own Fighting-types like Hisuian Sneasel and Toxicroak which also threaten Appletun before using Tera.
