There was once a memer stuck in the depths of 1500s, trying to grasp his way out with the art of Brazillian Tyranitar, CB Manaphy, and the like, but alas..the ladder was not amused and banished him to mediocrity forever. That was until one night, while conversing with the great roommod Terrakion, he had thought of summoning the great beast itself, the pink blob. However, the guardians of Stall heavily protect its sacred fat blob, and the commoners condemn usage of it outside of the praised territory. Regardless, the man squared off and managed to speak with the pink one. "You have freed me from my chains, and I shall give you my true power, mortal." It was at that point, he unlocked the ancient secret of Chansey Offense. The heretics claim that they use the art of CHO, but dishonor it by running 3 fat mons and barely any form of firepower whatsoever. He has ascended into a higher plane of existence, and begun to climb the ladder of Overused, squaring off against bird HO, various Tele-stalls, the 1600 crew, and many more. (drop a draco stop beating me with dragalge pls /s)
The team originally started out as just a meme modified version of Bird HO, running the beast itself; Screens Kyu-B, DPP Mixnite and Rocks M-Diancie. I also tried out Keldeo over Manaphy, but it didn't go so hot.
I had another Chansey HO team using M-Cham, and I just thought "why not" (also for meme cred), and there it was. I tried various pokemon for the last slot, opting to change Kyu-B to CB, Jellicent, Amoonguss, but it didn't work so well. I finally found the solution, however.
Tangrowth's phenomenal bulk, typing and Knock Off absorption helped quite a lot, I could pivot into it via CB U-turn Tflame, and it just performed excellent in nearly all the matches I've had. Solid. (it also complements Chansey quite nicely)
Now that's out of the way, on to the team shall we?
TINFOIL (Tangrowth) (M) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Regenerator
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 240 HP / 212 Def / 56 SpD
Relaxed Nature
- Sleep Powder
- Giga Drain
- Knock Off
- Hidden Power [Fire]
Pretty standard set with slightly modified EVs, Tangrowth does his job well as a "pivot", and being able to cripple things with Sleep Powder is generally solid. The team can use things like double switches, or Tflame's U-turn to bust this bad boy out. Helmet is nice for punishing Lando-T and friends. It also helps as a blanket check to quite a lot of things, and forces non Fblast Keldeo to play ring around the rosie.
Castle of Glass (Diancie) @ Diancite
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 8 Atk / 248 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Moonblast
- Diamond Storm
- Earth Power
- Protect
M-Diancie has probably got to be one of my favorite megas to use, nice speed tier (kinda), great mixed offenses, and Magic Bounce is always appreciated. It helps deter hazards, baits grounds in, and overall does great damage. I opted to use EP since Chansey is using rocks, and it seems that EP has fallen out of flavor, allowing for some surprise kills vs things like slightly weakened Tran. Double STAB and Protect are pretty much self-explanatory.
IN MY REMAINS (Excadrill) (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Mold Breaker
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Iron Head
- Rock Slide
- Rapid Spin
Scarf Exca is definitely a solid cleaner, and it packs quite a lot of power to boot. It can definitely win games on its own and it provides a nice Electric Immunity for the team. It's also there to outpace faster threats like Weavile, Torn-T, without having to use Talonflame. I opted for Rapid Spin on the last slot seeing as i'm using double SR weak mons, and Tangrowth doesn't like hazards either.
POWERLESS (Dragonite) @ Life Orb
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 56 Atk / 248 SpA / 204 Spe
Rash Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Fire Blast
- Iron Head / Superpower
- Extreme Speed
DPP Mixnite is definitely an underrated set, it's able to pretty much bait in things like Lando-T, and nearly destroy it with Draco Meteor, doing around 80% or more. It also surprises its usual checks/counters like WispTom, Slowbro, Ferrothorn. I mostly ran Superpower in my run as it does really good damage vs Heatran (eq is a bit clunky sometimes), but Iron Head had its merits in doing quite a lot to Clefable on the switch in, as well as ko'ing a Diancie that had stayed in and mega'd without using protect. Extreme Speed is just an overall useful priority tool that helps in picking off weakened things. (if you want run inner focus to troll m-cham/m-lop/rachi ez) Speed is enough to creep RH Chomp and friends.
BURN IT DOWN (Talonflame) (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Gale Wings
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Brave Bird
- Flare Blitz
- Tailwind
- U-turn
The Smogon Bird himself, CB Tflame has been quite the prominent figure in offense. It's quite standard, but with a little twist. Tailwind. Tailwind has won me a good deal of matches as most of the time I could secure the victory if only "x outsped his lando-t" or in tight spots like "how do i beat rush exca, my scarf doesnt outpace and there's still 3 turns". Adamant provides a good deal of power, and max speed allows it to actually creep base 110s by 1 point, which is pretty neat.
VICTIMIZED (Chansey) @ Eviolite
Ability: Natural Cure
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 240 HP / 252 Def / 16 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Seismic Toss
- Soft-Boiled
- Thunder Wave / Toxic
- Stealth Rock
Finally, we get to the blob itself. While it does sound baffling that I'm playing "HO" with a giant "momentum sink" such as Chansey, but believe me this pulls its weight far too often. It's able to pretty much win on its own once threats have been dismantled, which can be easily done by the team itself. It's not exactly a wincon, but it's a nice sponge and gives access to SR (it would have Heal Bell if I opted Diancie were to have rocks). I mean, what HO team has the rights to brag about having things like Scald Keldeo, Draco Lati, and a Manaphy answer/switch in? (t-wave = all the momentum you ever need)
