Time vs damage

I think I'm gonna bite the bullet and power up a chansey out of curiosity.
Pound+hyper beam?
Pound+psychic?

Hyper beam would make the battle last longer assuming they pause and wait a few seconds each time to dodge and hopefully it will go off a few times adding up to quite a bit of time overall.

I trained my lvl 20 chansey and it's surprisingly tanky/annoying. What do you think? Still a waste after update?

I've got 4 Chansey's and I'm not gonna do so. Really don't see the point, it's CP will still make it sit on the bottom. A Chansey or 10 will not serve as a deterrent.

Well I haven't seen a gym past lvl 4 in over a week so placement in gym doesn't matter. I want to use this balance update somehow. I'm not gonna keep using the same pokes, but I can't find one to focus on.

I hear ya, I'm still clinging to a previous world where I wanted to make anyone attacking me use as many potions as possible. Time consumption can annoy your opponents as well. It may take them longer to beat it than many other pokes. If someone decides to take a gym, they gonna take it. Make it as annoying as possible! I wouldn't blame ya.

It only takes 2000 prestige points per level from level 4 to level 7, so I and my team still train gyms where they are possible: a rural gym + Tier 1.5/2 defenders. When we build such a gym, it can stand for 2-4 days

I'd probably do the Psychic. Hyper Beam insanely easy to dodge.

The gym down the road from me keeps getting taken by a level 24 guy. Wish I could see a maxed chansey, if it could run out the clock or not against a lowish lvl player.

Hahaha thanks for reminder!

I have 900+ cp chansey and still 25 candys for it.
(once used 20k dust on it when i was noob)

I was thinking today how to make use of my max revives, they take space and i wouldnt wanna use them for pokemons with low healt.

So i think its time for project! To max up chansey and put it in gym and start testing it out :)

This one have headbutt and psychic.

Hey let me know how it goes! This is the most interesting stat change in my opinion.

If I've only got limited time I try and take down gyms with swifter kills - I'll take on a Lapras ahead of a Snorlax. If Chansey powered up does stretch the attacking time that much it could be an effective deterrent for the casual attack.

Wait for Blissey, moves can be changed after you evolved it.

Got myself 4 Chansey's, one with 96% IV and 3 with +80% But I will wait for blissey to see the moves he got there before I spent precious and rare Chansey candies in it
