100% Chansey is a Blissey now

edit: i made a new Question, as my first post is 9 days old and propably noone will find and post there as its many pages behind now, so.....

Hello again,

thanks to the adventure event walking my Chansey got me the remaining candies quickly.
Now i have a 100% IV Blissey with Pound / Psychic moves. Its rated D on defense. But a comment i read said its still a good defender regardless of its movesets. So should i still be thankfull and power it all the way up?
I dont have any ever Chanseys/Blisseys in my box.

Given that you have no others, go for it, of course. It still has the highest possible bulk for a defender, it just won't output as much damage as a Dazzling Gleam one.

Ok so I have a concern about the whole every moveset on blissey is way better than the next best defender because right now it is very hard to beat a blissey by yourself... which means there is a possibility that she may be nerfed and if so movesets will start to matter just like all the other pokemon so I would wait and see if an update is dropped at the end of this event and if not sure why not, power it up.

No one has anyone idea what Niantic will do. Blissey may get nerfed tomorrow, next month, or next year. Move sets could get shuffled around in terms of usefulness. Even so, she may still be a worthwhile attacker or defender. No one knows; so play for today.

She won't be nerfed...she is the only defender that doesn't just roll over and give away the gym.
Why do people STILL think she needs or will get a nerf?

Most people talk about every single other defender being too easy, except maybe Body Slam Snorlax (even then it isn't hard)...and then other people come along and say 'omg Blissey is sooo hard'.

Can Niantic win?
1. Every defender except Blissey is too weak
2. The only strong defender needs nerfing.

How the heck are they supposed to to fix those 2 issues?

probably now I'll not invest in chasey before gym rework. But because you already put some effort to get candies, I'll max her asap.

I think (and keep saying) movesets are so overrated here...

Waste 50 candies, get bad moveset, don't power up? Candies are that common for folks?

Any experienced player who wants to take over a gym is not going to care you have ZH/DG. Movesets can also get changed and buffed/weakened. Blissey is just a time waster for people and that's it.

For 2+ trainers, all defenders are a joke. Including Blissey.

If powering or overpowering a Blissey in your area can get you higher up in a level 10 stagnant gym, by all means, power it up...

Blissey is also not hard. My kids can take her out spamming eggs with ZH/SoB and poorly dodging...if 1 doesn't work, 1 backup Vap or anything will finish the job.

It WAS hard when quick attacks were very very slow...That day, timeout was a huge possibility for tons of mons. That day is not now.

I'd power it up "enough" (till gym rework) and park in a gym...For me and my area, everytime I level, instant powerup of all my mons...(Level 35+)...Bad moveset Blisseys included.
