Powered a chansey to 1200 and something(lvl30ish), put it in a gym. Attacked it with a 2700 gyarados with no dodging. Had about 20 seconds left.

Not the tank a few claimed it would be on other sites but very very formidable and annoying. If I was in a hurry and saw a chanseyed up gym I would not mess with it. I would rather fight a snorlax. Would be good to stack or put on top of dittos(since people are showing those off at the moment).

Just thought I would share if anyone was interested like I was.

make sure you save some candy to evolve it next gen, Blissey is gonna have twice the cp

Got 60ish left, I'm sure I'll hatch at least 1 or 2 more too

Thanks for sharing...I'll probably wait to evolve my 91% to blissey and see how it is...I have hatched 2 already so have enough candy.

Thanks - useful to have real world results. Both of mine have zen headbut/psychic - not perfect moves but not awful.

One's at 990 CP but only 80% IVs, the other is 827 CP with 86.7% IVs. Difficult to decide whether the extra stardust on the better IVs is worthwhile.

Probably depends on the distribution of IVs within the 3: The higher the key base stat, the less difference (% wise) IVs make. So on Chansey, which has enormous stamina (HP) as its key stat, a worse than average stamina IV will have little overall impact on tanking power, but a 15 versus 0 on the attack stat is going to have a bigger impact on CP. I guess nobody is going to expect Chansey to actually beat anything though, so I'd probably go for whichever one has the higher defense & stamina stats. And I guess moves don't matter if you evolve to a Blissey once gen II released....

also, with the relative abundance of stardust during this event, I think the bigger issue would be whether its worth the candy - Chansey isn't too common (I've only hatched one and caught one from the wild).

I've only hatched two, but one was in the double candy event, so I'm not too bad for Candy and I've got big enough beasts to generally top the local gyms - something a bit different might be more fun.

Do it! It's my new favorite. Annoying little beast. Hopefully they catch on and people will stack them. Prestige is out of the question, but that doesn't seem to matter at the moment.
