[SET COMMENTS]

With the highest HP stat in all of Pokemon, an extremely impressive Special Defense stat, and access to important utility moves, Blissey is one of the best special walls in the entire tier, as well as being Normal's best Stealth Rock setter. Seismic Toss is the best move for Blissey to deal consistent damage and not be a completely passive Pokemon despite being ineffective against Ghost-types. Shadow Ball can be used over Seismic Toss in order to not be completely useless against Ghost-types. Stealth Rock helps Blissey's offensive teammates like Ursaluna and Maushold have an easier time getting KOs. Thunder Wave is used to slow down opposing Pokemon so that Blissey's slower, wallbreaking teammates, such as Ursaluna, have an easier time making progress. Alternatively, Healing Wish can be used over Thunder Wave in order to heal one of Blissey's teammates to full health, gaining momentum and making an end-game sweep easier.

Wallbreakers like Ursaluna and Choice Specs Hisuian Zoroark are great teammates for Blissey, as they are capable of dealing with the defensive Pokemon that Blissey is unable to beat, such as Sableye, Toxapex, and Dondozo. In return, Blissey can switch into attacks to keep the wallbreakers safe. Ditto and Blissey make a great pair, as, thanks to Natural Cure, Blissey is able to switch in to status moves that would otherwise cripple Ditto, such as Will-O-Wisp from Sableye, Skeledirge, and Rotom-W, as well as Thunder Wave from Gholdengo, then get rid of the status via Natural Cure. Ditto is also capable of dealing with setup sweepers that would otherwise threaten Blissey such as Baxcalibur and Dragonite. Thunder Wave is also a great option to use on opposing Choice Scarf users like Iron Valiant and Meowscarada so Ditto will not have to worry about Speed ties. Hisuian Zoroark is a great teammate for Blissey, as the immunity to Fighting-type moves is extremely valuable. Hisuian Zoroark is also able to burn opposing physical threats like Urshifu-R and Dragonite, which would otherwise make quick work of Blissey, as well as dealing with Ghost-type Pokemon which Blissey cannot damage without Shadow Ball. Hisuian Zoroark's Knock Off can also help Blissey wear down targets by making them vulnerable to entry hazards and removing Leftovers and Black Sludge recovery. Moreover, Hisuian Zoroark can disguise itself as Blissey and catch foes such as Iron Hands, Zamazenta and Sneasler off guard. Cyclizar is a good teammate for Blissey, as Blissey can switch into the fast special attackers that would otherwise threaten Cyclizar such as Flutter Mane and Choice Scarf Walking Wake. Cyclizar also carries Knock Off, which, as mentioned previously, works well with Blissey. Choice Specs Cyclizar outspeeds and threatens to OHKO non-Choice Scarf Iron Valiant, which would otherwise threaten Blissey, with Hyper Voice. Finally, Braviary and Staraptor can function as alternative switch-ins to Fighting-type Pokemon like Quaquaval and Great Tusk and retaliate with their STAB-boosted Brave Bird. Braviary uses Defog to keep Blissey and teammates safe from hazards, while Staraptor is a more offensive Choice Scarf user able to threaten Fighting-type Pokemon.

Blissey

[SET]
Blissey (F) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Name: Defensive

[SET COMMENTS]

With the highest HP stat in all of Pokemon, an extremely impressive Special Defense stat, and access to loads of important utility moves (don't think "loads of" is accurate anymore considering Blissey lost options like Teleport and Toxic and only four are mentioned in the set), Blissey is one of the best special walls in the entire tier. (imo this sentence oversells how good Blissey is a bit; it's a good special wall with useful utility, but is extremely passive and easy to exploit nowadays. Some of the special attackers Blissey should nominally wall have ways to beat it; e.g., Gholdengo can Nasty Plot or Trick it, Flutter Mane can beat it with Sub CM) Heavy-Duty Boots is the item of choice because Blissey (wants to?) switches in and out extremely often and negating the damage from entry hazards is extremely valuable. Seismic Toss is the best move for Blissey to deal consistent damage and not be a completely passive Pokemon, despite being ineffective against Ghost-types. (Shadow Ball could be mentioned as an alternative in these comments, as Blissey can threaten specially offensive Ghost-types such as Flutter Mane with it.) Soft-Boiled is the recovery move of choice, despite not being able to heal teammates like Wish, (the Wish mention isn't necessary) because it provides instant recovery that allows Blissey to stay in on special attacking threats like Hydreigon, Greninja and Zapdos. (Could get rid of this sentence, Soft-Boiled is pretty self-explanatory) Stealth Rock helps Blissey's offensive teammates like Ursaluna and Maushold (Maushold removes Stealth Rock with Tidy Up; swap for Hisuian Zoroark) have an easier time getting KOs. (Important to mention Blissey is Normal's only viable Stealth Rock user at the minute, either here or in the opening sentence, which imo is one of the main reasons to run it) Thunder Wave is used to slow down opposing Pokemon so that Blissey's slower wallbreaking teammates such as Ursaluna will have an easier time making progress. Thunder Wave is also a great option to use on opposing Choice Scarf users so that Ditto will not have to worry about the speed ties (Move this sentence to the teammates section discussing Ditto). Alternatively, Healing Wish can be used over Thunder Wave in order to heal one of Blissey's teammates to full health in order to gain momentum and make an end-game sweep easier.

Every Normal-type Pokemon appreciates Blissey's unrivaled special walling capabilities, but each for their own different reasons. (Pretty filler sentence; could remove) Wallbreakers like Ursaluna and Indeedee (Indeedee generally runs Choice Scarf; Choice Specs Hisuian Zoroark would be a better fit here) are great teammates for Blissey, as they are capable of dealing with the defensive Pokemon that Blissey is unable to beat. In turn, Blissey can switch in to attacks to keep the wallbreakers safe (and support them with Thunder Wave and Stealth Rock). Ditto and Blissey make a great pair, as thanks to Natural Cure Blissey is able to switch in to status moves that would otherwise cripple Ditto, then get rid of the status via Natural Cure. Ditto is also capable of dealing with setup sweepers that would otherwise threaten Blissey. Hisuian Zoroark is a great teammate for Blissey, as the immunity to Fighting-type moves is extremely valuable for keeping Blissey safe. Hisuian Zoroark is also able to burn opposing physical threats that would otherwise make quick work of Blissey, as well as dealing with the Ghost-type Pokemon that Blissey cannot Ddamage (without using Shadow Ball). (Hisuian Zoroark's Knock Off can also help Blissey wear down targets by making them vulnerable to hazards or removing Leftovers or Black Sludge recovery. Moreover, Hisuian Zoroark can disguise itself as Blissey and catch foes off guard.) (Cyclizar pairs well with Blissey, as Blissey provides a safe switch in to fast special attackers such as Flutter Mane or Choice Scarf Walking Wake who would otherwise threaten it. This can give Cyclizar more opportunities to regain health through Regenerator and set up Shed Tails throughout a battle. Blissey also appreciates Cyclizar's Knock Off for reasons outlined previously. Choice Specs Cyclizar can outspeed and threaten to OHKO non-Choice Scarf Iron Valiant with Hyper Voice, who otherwise threatens Blissey.) (Staraptor and Braviary can act as switch-ins to Fighting-type attackers such as Great Tusk and Quaquaval, and threaten them in return with their strong STAB Brave Bird.)

Seismic Toss is the best move for Blissey to deal consistent damage and not be a completely passive Pokemon, despite being ineffective against Ghost-types. Shadow Ball can be used over Seismic Toss in order to not be completely useless against Ghost-types, but Seismic Toss is preferred due to the consistent damage.

Thunder Wave is used to slow down opposing Pokemon so that Blissey's slower wallbreaking teammates such as Ursaluna will have an easier time making progress. Alternatively, Healing Wish can be used over Thunder Wave in order to heal one of Blissey's teammates to full health in order to gain momentum and make an end-game sweep easier.

Wallbreakers like Ursaluna and Choice Specs Hisuian Zoroark are great teammates for Blissey, as they are capable of dealing with the defensive Pokemon that Blissey is unable to beat give example. In turn, Blissey can switch into attacks to keep the wallbreakers safe. Ditto and Blissey make a great pair, as thanks to Natural Cure Blissey is able to switch in to status moves that would otherwise cripple Ditto give example, then get rid of the status via Natural Cure. Ditto is also capable of dealing with setup sweepers that would otherwise threaten Blissey give example. Thunder Wave is also a great option to use on opposing Choice Scarf users give example so that Ditto will not have to worry about speed ties. Hisuian Zoroark is a great teammate for Blissey, as the immunity to Fighting-type moves is extremely valuable.

Hisuian Zoroark's Knock Off can also help Blissey wear down targets by making them vulnerable to hazards or removing Leftovers or Black Sludge recovery. Moreover, Hisuian Zoroark can disguise itself as Blissey and catch foes off guard give example (something that Blissey lures in but Zoro beats). Cyclizar is a good teammate for Blissey, as Blissey can switch in to the fast special attackers that would otherwise threaten Cyclizar such as Flutter Mane and Choice Scarf Walking Wake. This also pairs nicely with Regenerator, allowing Cyclizar to heal quite often and use Shed Tail as much as it can. Cyclizar also carries Knock Off, which as mentioned previously works well with Blissey. Choice Specs Cyclizar's Hyper Voice outspeeds and threatens to OHKO non Choice Scarf Iron Valiant which would otherwise threaten Blissey. Finally, Braviary and Staraptor can function as alternative switch-ins to Fighting-type Pokemon like Quaquaval and Great Tusk and retaliate with their STAB boosted Brave Bird. Braviary acts as a Defog user to keep Blissey and teammates safe from hazards, while Staraptor is a more offensive Choice Scarf user able to threaten Fighting-type Pokemon.

Very solid analysis, but you're missing a lot of concrete examples in your second paragraph. I've added indicators above for the sentences that could use Pokemon as examples. Ping me once you've added them and I'll stamp this for QC 2/2

Great, ty. Just remove Great Tusk from the examples that get slowed down by T-Wave since it's immune to it
