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.
