The only reason I can think of is to use it in a battle with an overkill number of players, with the goal of soaking up the damage to minimize the amount of potions needed to be spent afterwards.
What are the movesets to have with Blissey? I'm assuming ZH/DG for- P/DG (was P/P this morning)
- P/HB
- ZH/HB (am thinking about making this ZH/DG)
I like the idea of having P/DG as a mixed role of both a defender and an attacker (albeit not as effective as either role compared to the ideal respective movesets)
I ask these questions because I want to make the most use of my chansey candy mountain (chaarrrllliiiee). With this new gym system, I'm beginning to think that defenders are not as important as they were prior to this update
After the new gym system came out, I leveled up a p/hb blissey. It is actually my highest IV blissey. In gym raids she works well on mop up. I queue my high damage output mons in front of her and, if they all feint, I'm still in the battle when, it concludes.
When attacking gyms, she works really well on clean up after the first round, where I use specialists to take out the tougher mon. On the first round she is also efficient at clearing out the odd bits of diversity people leave in gyms.
I can dangerously close to timing out for the first time on weeks, maybe months, today.
I said to myself. Gyms are too easy now. Ill just use the preset team. I glanced it over looked sound. Turns out Niantic suggested I use mons of the same species of my main line up, but not the highest leveled ones
Shady! But I took her down with a quick switch. A similar thing happened to me with a Rhydon, only he actually KO'd my last mon. I was disappointed to see his motivation drop 46 points. If a defender sweeps an attacker that should fully restore its motivation.
