Blissey moveset
Hi, I just evolved my 82% Chansey to get a blissey with ZH HB. Should I power her up or better wait for ZH DG?
I'm still not sure which is better, because although HB is easier to dodge, it still hurts a lot even if dodged, and if not is nearly game over, but DG happens very frequently and if you dodge them all then it is timeout...
so.. which one is better?
Thanks!!!

I think hyper beam is still going to be the best defending charge move for her. Animation has changed, so it will hit more frequently. Highest DPS and gets STAB.
As for the fast move, statistically pound is still better than ZH because of STAB. That being said, most trainers will try to use a fighting type against her. The psychic moves will be super effective and be great counters.
I would wait until more research is done on new best defenders, attackers and their movesets before using any candy and stardust on power ups.
ZH > Pound on Defense even with Stab
The GYM AI adds 1.5-2.5 to moves so most people add 2 seconds to Defender Cooldown.
This benefits slower moves for easy example if you added 2 seconds to a 1 second move, you just reduced its dps by 1/3
If you add 2 seconds to a 2 second move, you just reduced its dps by 1/2
Even factoring in Stab bonus, ZH comes out slightly ahead when you add 2 seconds to cooldown and redivide
That said, the difference isn't large enough to really matter much
