To anyone who is flagging:
This question is completely valid. The user needs help on a Pokemon that have 2 similar roles.

Answer 1

It depends if you want extra bulk or extra HP. Lots of people pick Blissey because Leftovers is so important, and it is. IMo, Chansey is better, but if you want extra HP, go with Blissey.
_____
Wish. And Protect. Fore Chansey. Softboilled for Blissey. That's the stall. Softbliled IS helpful, it restores half your HP with no wait. I like Wish + Protect though. Protect is THE stall move. But be careful, you don't heal HP automatically, so someone could do a lot of damage or set up or something.

Answer 2

I had the same problem. I chose chansey. Blissey only has 10 more hp then chansey, and with eviolite, chansey will have better defenses then blissey.

Chansey
Natural cure
eviolite
evs 128 defense 128 special defense 252 hp
seismic toss
toxic
counter
softboiled

softboiled can heal over 300 hp on chansey, a great move. Seismic toss always does 100 damage, which is useful due to chanseys lack of attack. Counter is to deal with physical moves against pokemon which might take you down in two hits (conkeldur with hammer arm). Toxic is for the extra damage, also deals with ghost types while you can stall with softboiled.

Comments

If chansey can survive a hammer arm from conkeldurr, then I'm actually a rare species of snipe.

Answer 3

since your team uses life orb a lot, I have to say go with wish.

blissey is better than chansey in my opinion. It can run leftovers which is pretty important. Also, other than SpD and Hp, Chanseys stats suck and can get OHKOed by anything that uses physical attacks. It's lack of offensive capability makes it incredibly easy to set up on. Blissey, on the other hand, has workable SpA, which makes it a somewhat more threatening enemy than Chansey. Blissey also has a better movepool. I don't particularly like either of them though.
