you can screw people over with it even more by swapping out natural cure for serene grace, which bumps ice beam's freeze chance up to 20% and makes it an actual problem

I think being a status absorber is pretty important for Blissey’s longevity though. Until of course you get a freeze, Calm Mind up, and sweep.
Shaymin Sky where's that replay of you getting like 4 freezes with this thing
Cm icebeam can 1 v 1 gholdengo.. It doesn't even need to PO stall it.. Doing some damage is big... After recover gets stalled out bliss will beat ghold.. Pretty crazy...
After gouging fire test I think.. Hopefully so.. Mon is so broken that it has broken the tiring system by juggling between NU RU and OU.. Every other month... Cm at +6 sp. Atk ice beam does OHKO a gholdengo after it eats a great tusk Headlong Rush!! It forces people to run sub cm blissey to beat opposing blissey.. And restalk Psyshock cm clef can pp stall ig...All this Blissey talk, she's too broken, I fear.
Suspect tested when?
I have a solution however.. Unban Ho-Oh so that we could deal with this menace which would be banned otherwise. It eats two +6 ice beams and threaten bliss back hard.. Oh and maybe add arceus bug too as we can't be too safe against it
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-2042504219 The team used in the replay could be optimized a bit, but its way too easy to get crazy freezes/para's with serene bliss beam thunder, over the course of like 80 turns+
unironically stall players need to start abusing this and just outplay on absorbing status, otherwise your losing out on free win cons that can't be bypassed with skill

Without rain you can at least trade kills and blanket check stuff, it was electro shot on top of that that made it busted
Shaymin Sky advocating for Serene Grace Hax, there's something I would never have expected to see.
Actual talk though I do wonder if sets based on procs like this could have a place on Bulkier/Stall teams. With how offensive and momentum driven the Meta is right now, one turn of Paralysis proccing or a Freeze barring an attack could throw a game plan off massively, whereas Stall teams are built to last through worst case scenarios and thus these procs would mostly be a pleasant surprise for them if they occur.
the anti Meteor Beam Glimmora tech
if it also has contrary superpower it's totally viable trust me
Okay, this is madness. I can kinda get fly, that gives you stab and you can use power herb for it. Giga impact you could use as a last resort move with tera normal to deal big damage as you faint.
Outrage idk what the fuck they doing. Just use play rough my god. This is worse than the time I saw a contrary calm mind enamorus.
Yeah. I faced Contrary Agility Enamorus once.
maushold users will know that that 90% accuracy is less than you'd think. The amount of times I missed a 1-hit pop bomb when trying to simply revenge a hamurott is absurd.
In the same match I used defog against the enam and gave it a +1 evasion boost. I was so scared for a second but luckily I was able to hit it enough to ko it.
Has anyone tried using Contrary mons to punish Defogging in lower tiers/generations without Gholdengo? That seems evil.
Or Cinderace. I lost a lot of games off of Cinderace missing lately. Pyro Ball and High Jump Kick.
Yes. Defiant and Competitive work, too. They punish Intimidate as well.
It's the same reason why I cannot justify placing Meow higher than Weavile on the basis of Triple Axle alone. It misses too often, and it's honestly one of the more accurate power moves. At least Weavile has Icy Shard.
As I've said before I realize why they probably got rid of it but I miss having a dedicated Things You've Seen on Low Ladder thread for heat like this
this is a certified ADV OU classic
Honestly, I miss offensive Blissey. Like it was so cool you could take any hit and respond with offensive pressure, that was so cool to do.
I wish Blissey wasn't relegated to stall, it would be so good for blanket checking special threats.

Wouldn't it be better with evs in Def rather HP ? In terme of overall bulkiness I guess It's better. And Modest as you trailblaze is just for the speed boost not the damage (loosing a bit on special but gaining much more on physical side)
Yes,you’re right. I used suggested the EV spread, which always ends up not really good.
