So, since it was brought up in the Rankings thread, I thought I'd check some of my assumptions about how to use Blissey. Everything I say here I'm not sure about, so don't hesitate to correct me and don't take it as gospel.
So, here goes what I've managed to piece together and reason out.
- Blissey is bad alongside CurseLax and other Rest Laxen since it competes for the Electric switch-in. That leaves DrumLax and SDLax; DrumLax is probably preferred because of Turbo Drumming.
- Blissey is bad alongside Raikou because again, it competes for the Electric switch-in. So you should be using Zapdos alongside Blissey.
- Blissey is bad alongside Miltank because you only need one Beller. It would also seem to be bad alongside Tyranitar since then you've got two Pokemon OHKOed by Machamp. So that would seem to leave Gengar and Misdreavus as your possible FireLax switch-ins.
Am I on the right track here about how to make Blissey work?
