Well, consider this. Jolteon's defense is 218 and it's HP is 333. Chansey's defense is 108 and it's HP is 703. If you double Chansey's defense to 216 and double jolteon's HP to 666, you'll see that Chansey's defense is now almost the same as jolteons and jolteon's HP is still lower than chanseys. This proves that Chansey, in fact, is BETTER at taking physical attacks that Jolteon is!

And you call yourself the American Pokemon champj\k:-)

And if the damage calculator is right, a bulbasaur using bite will do an average of 80 damage to a max stat Chansey, so it could (on average) survive 9 bites, while the same bulbasaur using bite will do 44 damage on average, meaning that it will suvive 8 turn's (on average).

God must have liked stupid people. Just look arround you.

Chansey: 45
Jolteon: 40

So, you were right hehe. And in G/S, Chansey evolves, bringing it's defenses up to about 55 base [taking HP into consideration]. Adios

Chansey: 703 * 308 = 216542
Mewtwo: 415 * 406 = 168490

216542/168490 = 1.2852

Thus, chansey takes special-based attacks better than Mewtwo by 28.5%.

Most people don't pit Chansey againt Dragonite or Snorlax (unless Chansey is already pumped and has Ice Beam, in which case dragons are in trouble).

Chansey has a lot of potential, like today i got through nearly three pokemon using only the egg that was with: Sing, Softboiled, Ice Beam, Seismic Toss. Don't even wan't to think about how far I would have got if i used DT and Minimize strategy.

But remember, some of us have to keep up some kind of reputation as being cool pokemon trainers, not sissy's... Clefable being the only execption... Anyone got any Clefable move reccomendations? Please don't say I wouldn't use Clefable...

I experiment with moves alot, both of these movesets have been very useful to me, pick one that you like. But, keep in mind that there is an element of luck in both movesets so don't get upset if you don't always win.

Used to be: Seismic Toss, Softboiled, Minimize, Defense Curl (can be a bit of a gamble, these guys here like this moveset though, or something more or less the same as it).

Now it is: Sing, Softboiled, Ice Beam, Seismic Toss (very effective as I said on my earlier message).

Don't use CHANSEY unless you say to your opponent, I'm only messing about or something like that!

clefable is tunring out to be a great pokemon. chansey's still better, though.

Where the hell did that come from? None of us have ever even suggested using Sing on Chansey! You think people like us, who work on percentages and unfailable stratagies would use a 50% accurate move?
Give me a break....

The best Chansey out there is Molly (T-Wave, Seismic Toss, Minimise, Softboiled)
No questions
Take that into your next 3v3 match, and if you dont win, you're a very crap player indeed.

Altho I do think that the chansey I created for the UK finals was pretty good:
Toxic
T-Wave
Seismic Toss
Softboiled

It works on the Shockwave principal (even tho I thought this up way before I knew about SW)
Ok, the strat is:
Toxic first turn, T-Wave on the switch (pressuming they will). If they dont, you've wasted a turn, but hey, you'll kill them in 2-3 seismic tosses. And if not, (this works best on 3v3) they have 2/3 of their team status changed, and you can still attack and recover (unlike SW, which has to LS or explode, which IMO is not good)
Good set IMO
I shall name him..............
Omlette!

Alakazam's are capable of beating any pokemon in the game...............can yours?

*rolls eyes* That's useless against any pokemon with Recover, or with Rest and either 401HP, ConfuseRay, or DT/Minimize. It also leaves a serious Swiftdancer problem. The Chansey I use:

Softboiled
Light Screen
Reflect (Defense Curl is too slow)
Ice Beam

I start with Light Screen (for Amnesia users) or Reflect (for physical attackers), follow up wiht the other, and then fire off IceBeams until the target is frozen. By the way, against pokemon with a weakness to Ice (even Moltres) or a low-Special (228 or lower), Ice Beam will do more damage than Seismic Toss.

Oh, and if you're in an no-Mewtwo match, you can try using Minimize or Thunderbolt over LightScreen.

Freeze-platform Chansey is cool. PP-wasting Chansey isn't.

Minimize
Defense Curl
Softboiled/Rest
Seismic Toss/Ice Beam

Use ST for a PP waster, or Ice Beam for a freezer. Minimize is a no-brainer, and Defense Curl protects against Swift Dancers.

Chansey:

Everything dies >:} T Wave, M, Toss, and SoftB (when needed). Can seismic toss affect Ghosts in Gold/Silver?

Thunderbolt
Counter
Rest
Minimize

The reason behind the moveset Thunderbolt- well considering His Attack is useless he NEEDS a special based move. Counter to deal with potentially dangerous things with a high Attack like Dragonite and Rhydon and I don't think I need to explain Minimize and rest.

Tell me what you think of this moveset.

No, and Night Shade can't affect Normals. I don't know if Psywave can affect Dark-types or not. (But who uses Psywave anyway?)

Yeah well guess what... to you too. I thought up this moveset and posted it waaaay before anyone else here thought it up. (Move over Molly ) At the time I was told it was crap but I still kicked butt w/her. I guess I was ahead of my time and now people jipp me and call me unorigional because other people have realized just how good and solid the moveset is.

LOL! You just drain pp by minimizing and softboiling if you run up against a tough opponent and there aren't any muscles waiting in the wings. Chansey could probably win a 1 on 1 match just by struggling (after she's out of pp) if push comes to shove. Paralyze helps a lot, too. And how many pokemon have a recovery move and a great hp besides Chansey? Not that many. Plus you're gonna have other pokemon to back her up if it's more than 1 on 1.
