[SET COMMENTS]
Blissey is a decent, albeit niche, wall and utility Pokemon in AAA with its ability to check most special attackers and extremely diverse movepool. Seismic Toss allows Blissey to not be completely passive and gives it consistent damage. Blissey's last two moveslots are flexible. Calm Mind + Shadow Ball is enough to beat the few special attackers that can otherwise defeat Blissey one-on-one such as Sheer Force Gengar and Gholdengo. Stealth Rock provides entry hazard support to free up a moveslot for a teammate, while Thunder Wave spreads status, crippling Pokemon like Azelf and Manaphy, and Heal Bell allows Blissey to operate as a cleric. Unaware allows Blissey to check special attackers attempting to set up on it like Gholdengo, Tail Glow Manaphy, and Iron Moth, while Well-Baked Body allows it to check Iron Moth while also giving it a more favorable matchup into Volcarona and Heatran. Magic Guard allows Blissey to avoid chip damage from entry hazards, letting it function as a better wall. Blissey most commonly runs Leftovers, as the extra healing can be extremely helpful, although on teams with more shaky hazard control, Heavy-Duty Boots can be opted for instead. A Calm nature is used to make Blissey function better as a special wall, notiably allowing it to always avoid the 2HKO from Sheer Force Gengar's Focus Blast. Blissey is most notably a special wall that does not require the use of Regenerator, which allows physical walls such as Great Tusk to run it instead. Blissey is most commonly seen on stall and fat team structures. Physically defensive walls like Corviknight and Deoxys-D are a must, as they help deal with Blissey's weakness to physical attackers and make a potent defensive core with it.

Blissey is a decent, albeit niche, wall and utility Pokemon in AAA with its ability to check most special attackers in AAA and an extremely diverse movepool, but struggling to deal with the tiers myriad of physical attackers All special walls stuggle with physical breakers, removing fluff. Seismic Toss allows Blissey to not be completely passive and gives it constant damage. Blissey's last 2 moveslots are extremely flexible; Calm Mind can allow Blissey to win versus the few Special Attackers that can win against Blissey, such as Sheer Force Gengar and Thundurus. Shadow Ball allows Blissey to hit the beforementioned Gengar as well as Gholdengo, who both otherwise use it as setup fodder for themselves Mention that Shadow Ball and Calm Mind are only run together. The final three options all allow Blissey to support its own team; Stealth Rock provides entry hazard support, Thunder Wave spreads status, crippling Pokemon like Azelf and Manaphy, and Heal Bell allows Blissey to operate as a cleric for its team. Unaware allows Blissey to check Special Attackers attempting to set up on it like Gholdengo, Tail Glow Manaphy, and Iron Moth, while Well-Baked Body still allows Blissey to check Iron Moth while also giving it a more favorable matchup into Gourging Fire Volcarona and Heatran. Magic Guard allows Blissey to be immune to status and entry hazards to avoid chip damage from entry hazards, allowing it to function as a better wall. Blissey should run Heavy-Duty Boots if it is running Unaware or Well-Baked Body or Leftovers if it is Magic Guard. Mention somewhere that having blissey frees up the Regenerator slot which some physical walls appreciate, as Regenerator is most commonly run on specially defensive walls Blissey is most commonly seen on stall and fat team structures. Physically Defensive Walls like Gholdengo Corviknight and Deoxys-Defense are a must, as they help deal with Blissey's weakness to physical attackers and make a potent defensive core with it. Blissey also enjoys having pivots to help it get it in safely to wall; Corviknight and Mandibuzz are thus good partners. You don't need pivots if you're running fat; you simply switch hard into Blissey instead

Blissey should run Heavy-Duty Boots if it is running Unaware or Well-Baked Body (This isn't true and is prob just an oversight from uploading the set. Unaware and Well-Baked Body should absolutely use Leftovers on teams with decent hazard control. The extra artificial bulk is important for reducing how often it needs to click Soft-Boiled to avoid XHKOs. HDB is an alt option for teams w/o very secure hazard control options) or Leftovers if it is Magic Guard. Blissey is most notably a speciall wall that does not require the use of also frees up the Regenae(add)rator,(add) slot,(The avg player isn't gonna understand "the Regenrator slot"; not everyone assumes you want regen on almost every team) which allows physical walls to run it instead.

Blissey is a decent, albeit niche, wall and utility Pokemon in AAA with its ability to check most special attackers and an extremely diverse movepool. Seismic Toss allows Blissey to not be completely passive and gives it consistent damage. Blissey's last 2 two moveslots are flexible; flexible. Calm Mind + Shadow Ball is enough to beat the few special attackers that can (I'd add usually/otherwise here) defeat Blissey in the one-on-one such as Sheer Force Gengar and Gholdengo. Stealth Rock provides entry hazard support to free up a moveslot for its a teammate, while Thunder Wave spreads status, crippling Pokemon like Azelf and Manaphy, and Heal Bell allows Blissey to operate as a cleric for its team. Unaware allows Blissey to check Special Attackers special attackers attempting to set up on it like Gholdengo, Tail Glow Manaphy, and Iron Moth, while Well-Baked Body allows Blissey it to check Iron Moth while also giving it a more favorable matchup into Volcarona and Heatran. Magic Guard allows Blissey to avoid chip damage from entry hazards, allowing it to letting it function as a better wall. Blissey most commonly runs Leftovers, as the extra healing can be extremely helpful, although on teams with more shaky hazard control, Heavy-Duty Boots can be opted for instead. Blissey is most notably a special wall that does not require the use of Regenerator, which allows physical walls (such as?) to run it instead. Blissey is most commonly seen on stall and fat team structures. A Calm Nature nature is used to make Blissey function better as a special wall, notiably allowing it to always avoid the 2HKO from Sheer Force Gengar's Focus Blast. (move the nature sentence to before the one about Blissey not needing Regenerator) Physically defensive walls like Corviknight and Deoxys-D are a must, as they help deal with Blissey's weakness to physical attackers and make a potent defensive core with it.
