Strategy Overview
Chansey is one of the most specially bulky Pokemon in the metagame, being able to take strong attacks from Pokemon like Alakazam, Latios, Thundurus-T, and Rotom-W, making it a good option on stall teams. It can also cure its teammates of Aromatherapy or set Stealth Rock due to how many entry points it has, and has good longevity thanks to Soft-Boiled and Natural Cure letting it rid itself of Toxic. However, Chansey is rarely seen due to stall being uncommon in the metagame as a result of there being so many strong wallbreakers in the tier. Chansey is forced out by common physical attackers like Dragonite, Kyurem-B, and Breloom, making it need to switch often, which is worsened by Chansey's vulnerability to entry hazards and lack of passive recovery. Chansey can also lose to special attackers like Keldeo, Reuniclus, and Trick Latios due to them being able to take advantage of it.
