Congratulations Kyotoshi for winning your first cycle, keep it up!
The more cycles pass by, the pinker Pokemon I submit.
Blissey is astupid incredible special wall which can stomach even the strongest physical attacks and punish them by spreading status or keeping the momentum with Teleport. However, as most of the Generation 1 Normal-type Pokemon, Blissey stands out a great but unused movepool which can cover specific flaws in the teams it is used. Who will come up with the best idea? Good luck everyone!

HWish blissey gives it a potent tool to provide an extra life for a teams sweepers, and make it 10x less passive. It also gives Blissey late game momentum for its teammates.

I don't know if im allowed to have just 1 changed move, but it very much does change the blissey when you run a coverage move.

I enjoy ice beam blissey because it cripples lando and chomp to the point where they have to make the decision to swap out or sack it for dmg, while also retaining most of what blissey is good at. You could replace seismic toss with flamethrower if you wanted since most people dont assume 2 coverage moves on a blissey.

Just a sigma set to use tbh. Kee Berry appreciates a cc from lop 252 Atk Lopunny-Mega Close Combat vs. +1 252 HP / 252+ Def Blissey: 492-578 (68.9 - 80.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO with it not being able to switch in on a +2 Tri attack either. Just with this reference I think defence wise at +1 you see what I mean. It isn't great offensively, but walls like pex and heatran are gonna be annoying anyway so not much to be done there with the move coverage. Just on the sigma grindset with this.

Quite possibly the best Blissey set ever constructed. Engineered through a collaboration of the greatest minds Pokemon Showdown! ™ has to offer. Designed for maximum infuriation and minimal in-game progress. The future is now.
Sorry for the wait, I've been extremely busy this week with university and other things.

Now, colder than the Ice Beam set itself...
Kyurem is an outstanding presence in the tier thanks to its Substitute set which allows it to pressure a lot of teams on its own. Its Choice Specs set is almost as terrifying thanks to its high Special Attack stat, wide coverage options and good bulk which lets Kyurem tank a few moves to fire its powerful attacks. However, Subs and Specs are no more. Who will create the best Kyurem set this set? Good luck everyone!

Speed is for Adamant Rillaboom, bulk investment to dodge the 3HKO from uninvested Clefable’s Moonblast. SubDD Kyurem is a monstrosity of a set that easily sets up against most conventional Kyurem pivots (think Toxapex, Corviknight, Heatran, Galarian Slowking, and Blissey). Mega Scizor, which is nothing Magnezone can’t handle, is the natural exception. This Kyurem aims to use its massive bulk and Pressure to PP stall various defensive Pokemon who can’t touch it behind a Substitute, while also being a threat to offensive teams by setting up several Dragon Dances and abusing the offensive power of Ice.

I've seen this set used occasionally on hyper offense in OU. It's basically a more offensive Dragon Dance set that tries to be better suited for hyper offense, since it needs less team support with its better coverage. Weakness Policy is the chosen item to utilise Kyurem's superb bulk and mediocre typing. You might need Magnezone support to deal with Mega Scizor.
Probably a meme, but dragon tail light screen. Speed Evs probably could be changed because I stole the ddance evs and removed the attack investment.
