Is anyone scared to walk with Chansey?
I've been slow grinding buddy candies with Snorlax ever since I got my first one. (777 km) I'm considering giving the big fella a rest and switching to Chansey.
With the common opinion that Blissey is OP, is there a pretty good chance there could be a nerf in the not so distant future? I really don't know what to do!

They are both equally bad. Which means that every move from blissey to Machamp hits with x1.25 (either STAB or SE). In contrast, only one of six blissey movesets hits both quick and charged with extra damage against Ursaring. Roughly 1/3 of Blissey dont hit the bear with either move for extra damage (the ones I named in my post). That was more my point.
Admittedly I haven't had a chance to attack into a Blissey.
But the Lvl 30 Blissey(2675CP, 380HP) ZH/DG that I put in a gym last night didn't last 30 minutes.
Attacking a few gyms this morning, my first impression is that with the increase in damage numbers for many charge moves, they hit like a howitzer now and probably won't have much trouble taking down a Blissey. Again, just speculation.
I have had the same thoughts about spending all my stardust on Blissey also. The thing is, Blissey hits harder than I expected and Machamp (legacy moves) was a lot worse against zen headbutt Snorlax.
I did battle my 2300 cp Blissey (zen headbutt/dazzling Gleam) with my 2700 Dragonite (DB/DC.) I dodged all of the Gleams, except 1, and it hurt pretty bad. I beat her, but Gleam is going to hit dragons and fighting types really hard, not to mention the psychic quick move. I think it is going to come down to how well you dodge, which seems to be easier, for me at least.
