The "big 19" basic explanation – Blissey (week: 8-3) – Prestiging

Blissey week: https://pokemongo.gamepress.gg/q-a/big-19-basic-explanation-blissey-week-8-1-blisseys-lose-fighting-event and https://pokemongo.gamepress.gg/q-a/big-19-basic-explanation-blissey-week-7-2-dont-transfer-some-pokemon-f-rated-movesets

Blissey is the overall best defender in the game, at least for now.

Tips prestiging Blisseys:
Below 1000 CP:
Machoke will get the job done with good dodging, aiming for 500 prestige.

Between 1000–1500 CP:
Machoke still gets the job done well, missed dodges won't affect the battles that much, but dodging is necessary for aiming more than 500 prestige.

Between 1500–2000 CP:
Machoke is not able to reach 2000 CP, so it is better to hand the spot to Ursaring/Machamp. With some good dodging, 500 prestige shouldn't be too hard to be claimed.

Between 2000–2500 CP:
Flareon/Espeon performs better than Ursaring here, and it saves you stardust and candies for the 500 prestige.

Above 2500 CP:
Trainers currently below level 30:
Simply use your main Blissey counters, except for the "big 5" which has a higher max CP than Blissey. Aiming for 500 prestige should be quite easy if you choose the correct team.

Trainers currently above level 30:
You may choose the backup Blissey counters which have their CPs below 2500, but please be ensure that they are able to beat the Blissey, not being timed out; or you won't aim the 500 prestige, and eventually just wasting potions and revives!
