If it senses sadness with its fluffy fur, a BLISSEY will rush over to the sad person, however far away, to share an egg of happiness that brings a smile to any face.

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.

Emerald Blissey Best Moveset

Bulk and offense in one package. Blissey runs Leftovers for passive recovery each turn with a Modest nature, so it survives long enough to threaten with Soft-Boiled. Max Sp. Atk without Speed EVs and the remaining moves make it hard to safely switch into.

How to Get Blissey in Emerald

No wild encounters for Blissey in Emerald. Bring Chansey over from Red, Yellow, or Ultra Sun, then level through the stages. Each step in the chain is laid out below.

    Then trade to Emerald to continue the evolution chain.

Blissey Guide

  • In Emerald, Blissey looks average on paper at 540 BST. But Natural Cure is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. S-Tier wall on our tier list. Soft Boiled with Leftovers is the standard set.

  • In Emerald, 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 gets Natural Cure, Serene Grace, and Healer. But Natural Cure is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that. Natural Cure synergizes with Blissey's base 135 Sp.Def, letting it soak special attacks as a pivot.

  • 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 Emerald, 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.

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.
