Chansey worth levelling?

Thinking of levelling this Chansey. Pretty decent IV and move set. It's apparently good to park in gyms due to its high HP and "tankability". At this point in the game is it Worth it? And I'm getting board with the typical gym setups lately (Snor, Lap, Drag, Rhy, Vap Gyar)

Don't freaking do that, you'll need that candies for blissey, and trust me, it will be the tank of the tanks

i would save the candies cause u might catch a better blissey in the wild with better stats/cp instead of powering up a chansey. You can however power it up to at least 1k cp and then put it in the gym if you constantly take over gyms. Make sure u also put her as ur buddy no one else is really worth it assuming u already have lots candies from snorlax, rhydon, vap, dragonites etc.

If you're going to set it as a buddy, I'd say always keep 50 candies on hand so that you can immediately evolve it into a Blissey. You'd rather evolve into a Blissey than spend 50 candies on powering up a Chansey if you wanted a stronger defender.

Chansey has been my buddy for some time and I have managed to date to collect 29 candies.

I recall some old discussion on the amount of candy needed to evolve Chansey to Blissey. Has it been established that this number is 50?

As long as you are happy with its stats and moveset it is fine to spend candy since you can evolve her into Blissey when the time comes but you have to basically accept it might be your only Chancey.

Chansey is actually quite decent to put in gyms but only as a number 10 who will slow things down and therefore will be the first one kicked out as well.

Lets be real , does chansey's moveset really matter? It doesn't do that much damage and the reason you put it in the gym is because, you want to waste time. No matter what moveset, chansey will waste the most time than any other pokemon in pokemon go.

I think it matters a little, so it's doing some damage while wasting time. But from experience, I won't waste any dust on a Chansey unless their Charge is Hyper Beam.

Chansey's Hyper Beam is super weak though. Dodging it only wastes precious time beating her.

I walked with my chansey 93-95iv (cant remember) 410km and its 33lvl already. Its my second chansey hatched and never saw in wild. Hope for blissey in near future :)

Nice. I just hatched my first (93iv) and I walked 37km already with it. :-)

I powered one up to 1200ish and it sort of works.

She's effectively impossible to prestige by more than 100 points per battle (I tried just about everything I could) and requires such a high cp Poke to kill her that you can't really prestige the next defender or two above her. Putting her in a gym does effectively lock the gym at that level.

Whilst she's a pain to battle and at 1200 cp is probably impossible to kill by casual players at lv20 or below, she can be killed by a single high level Dragonite/Rhydon etc. which most serious players will have, and her low cp will mean you're probably going to be out of the gym pretty quickly.

In practice I've found her a lot less useful than her tankiness suggests.
