Time to start powering up Chansey?

Everyone has a high level Blissey. You're going to be competing to place yours. I know its a faux-pas to power up unevolved forms. Seeing how Blissey doesn't really have a bad set if you have a nice Chansey on hand it could become a worthwhile defender. Power it up enough and its the closest thing to multiple Blissey in a gym. Maybe someday soon we can get an Evolite!

I dont think so. Imo this hype with chansey is just wrong. Yes 500 Hp and stuff but look at her other stats. Defense is bad, worse than most mons including basics. But the real issue is the attack.. only 7 mons are worse than chansey and do u know who they are? Caterpie, sunkern, shuckle, metapod, marill, kakuna and magikarp. Even weedle has better attack than her. If ur place her in a gym the match up will be 6 attackers vs 5 defenders and a pink target dummy. To every one thinking chansey will be meta defender do ur team a favor and just drop that theory plz.

Unless ur valor or instinct.. in that case disregard everything i said and put chansey every time plz =P she will do great i promise!

Who cares about attack of a defender?
People have plenty of revives. The only thing that matters is time.
So Chansey is in the Top3 for defense.

Ur not going to timeout against a chansey lol cmon.. keep in mind that SE increased a bit, u only need a mon with fighting moves and doesnt even have to be a machamp probably. Or even just some STAB high attack base stat non ghost mon will be enough depending on a few factors.. Also dont forget she will not remain with her max CP all the time. Just look at the facts man cmon. Although attack stat is not as important as the last gym system because ur literallterally picking counters for every match up it is still important. Not dealing any damage in a 6v6 is as if one side had an extra mon.

I personally agree as well since Blissey doesn't stop anyone...Attacking gyms have always been easy and delaying and "wasting" time of the other players is why they don't attack your gyms...

Also, I've notice Blissey drops motivation insanely fast so having a defender that is 75% as time delaying is a win IMO...

It's not about wasting their revives since prestiging is dead so people now have even MORE revives and potions...

If anything, berries are the most useful item now since you can constantly feed other people's mons to try to get free candy...

I'm going to try Chansey and see how it goes...
Maybe motivation won't drop as fast.

Its not about whether the other player has lots of revives or not. All Im taking into consideration is how a fight will go when a player attacks the 6 defender with their 6 attackers. Chansey wont do jack shit even for players below lvl 30. That means damage or possibly timing out an oponent. Ur essentially putting a wobbufet thus making the fight 6 attackers vs 5 defenders..

I guess she has no chance of timing out an opponent then? That was my hope.

No, only a very low level trainer would time out. I had a maxed out (Lvl 36?) Chansey before Gen II, she's tankier than a Snorlax but since her attacks do virtually no harm there's no need to dodge and she's easy to defeat.
