Blissey EV Training??

Question

I got a Happiny (going to evolve to Blissey) but I'm EV training it right now. It has a Bold (-Att, +Def) Nature and I'm maxing it's Defense (252 EV's). Here's where my question comes in:

Blissey has already pretty good Special Defense even without training or investing on it so I was thinking of using some points on her HP instead so that leftovers can heal a bit more. So I was thinking of doing,
- 252 Def
- 128 HP
- 128 Sp. Def

I'm not sure if I should go with that or just do 252 on Def and HP and 4 on Sp. Def or if it's just better to go with the usual 252 Def/SpDef and 4 HP

What do you guys think?

Looks fine. And with Leftovers, gonna be a good wall.

Splitting EVs into 128/128 is never good. Go all for one stat (Defense or Sp. Defense).

---

So I should just go with 252 HP and Def?

---

Yeah, that's what most Blissey run.

Blissey Damage Calcs:

>252 Atk Aerilate Mega Salamence Return vs. 252 HP / 128 Def Blissey: 630-742 (88.2 - 103.9%) -- 25% chance to OHKO

--

>252 Atk Aerilate Mega Salamence Return vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Blissey: 466-550 (65.2 - 77%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

--

>252 Atk Lopunny High Jump Kick vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Blissey: 394-464 (55.1 - 64.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

--

>252 Atk Lopunny High Jump Kick vs. 252 HP / 128 Def Blissey: 532-626 (74.5 - 87.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

And here's Chansey (w/ Eviolite)

>252 Atk Aerilate Mega Salamence Return vs. 128 HP / 252+ Def Eviolite Chansey: 313-369 (46.5 - 54.8%) -- 64.5% chance to 2HKO

--
>252 Atk Aerilate Mega Salamence Return vs. 252 HP / 128+ Def Eviolite Chansey: 438-516 (62.2 - 73.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

--

>252 Atk Lopunny High Jump Kick vs. 252 HP / 128+ Def Eviolite Chansey: 368-434 (52.2 - 61.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

--

>252 Atk Lopunny High Jump Kick vs. 128 HP / 252+ Def Eviolite Chansey: 262-310 (38.9 - 46%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

--

>252 Atk Lopunny High Jump Kick vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Eviolite Chansey: 262-310 (37.2 - 44%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

Final things I would like to conclude with:

• Ditch Blissey. Eviolite Chansey all the way.
• 252 Defense/ 252 Special Defence/ 4 HP is a very good idea.
• 128 Defense does not work.
• Your HP, to be honest does not change things all that much, so put more into Defences. Plus you have Wish support, so that's going for you.

Comments

+1 for using Mega Lopunny.

Wait.....not investing in HP for Blissey? What reality is this.

---

The reality of Damage calculations.. Extra EVs in HP wont help it survive another strong Physical move. 2HKO moves remain 2HKO, and OHKO moves remain OHKO.

---

The High Jump Kick damage calculations are non-mega lopunny, so they lack the extra 60 base attack stats+STAB. Mega Lopunny KOs every variant of Blissey and only fails to KO 252 HP / 252+ Def Chansey, but still does 82.6 - 97.4% to that.

Deary me! Why did I not see this sooner?! Thanks a ton, Aeternis :3

[What do I do now? Change it all? Or leave it be? Since basically, the point was too many HP Evs ain't all that good. If a Mega-Lopunny does come into play, no way is Blissey/ Eviolite Chansey going to say in, right? Still, if I have to edit this, let me know.]

In retrospect, "Deary me!" sounds .... weird. Oh well. You all know what I mean.

Answer 2

Blissey's Special bulk is already out-of-this world without investment, so I suggest you run the EV spread that every Blissey and her mother runs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD. This patches up her awful Physical bulk as best as possible, and as I stated before, her Special side doesn't need buffing.
