Blissey Weakness

Type-wise, Blissey takes extra damage from Fighting. Ghost moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. Blissey's special bulk (base 135 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.

Moves

Hard to wall, honestly. Blissey threatens 10 types beyond its own STAB, with Ice and Psychic standing out. Pair that with Hyper Beam and Double-Edge and switchins need to think twice.

Blissey Guide

  • In Crystal, Blissey works as a wall with 540 BST behind it. A-Tier on our list: a strong pick in Crystal's competitive scene. Soft Boiled with Leftovers is the standard set.

  • In Crystal, Blissey's biggest threats include Machamp (Fighting), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. Blissey has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.

  • Blissey is a physical attacker with base 10 Attack. Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. Speed tells the real story. At base 55 Speed, it won't be moving first often. Fits the wall role.

  • In Crystal, the best way to handle Blissey: Status moves (Toxic, Will-O-Wisp) wear it down. Setup sweepers can use it as a boost opportunity. Physical attackers can break through.

  • In Crystal, Blissey plays as a wall. Not the fastest, so pick your spots carefully.

Game Availability

Debuting in Gold & Silver, Blissey appears in 18 games across 9 generations. A reliable presence in most mainline games, typically found through wild encounters.
