Chansey's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Chansey PvE Analysis

Normal types aren't generally good in PvE as they don't inflict super-effective damage on any Pokémon type. Some do well in weather-boosted conditions where they can do high neutral damage. Chansey doesn't fit any of those, however. 🥲

However, it's a supreme Gym defender! 🤩

⚔️ Raids

Forget about the Normal typing—Chansey has a lowly 60 Attack. End of discussion. 😅

🛡️ Gyms

Chansey is a hallmark Gym defender in Pokémon GO, packing an outrageous 487 HP! 😱 While Chansey won't deal much damage to the Gym attacker, it will hold its ground even against super-effective attacks! 🔰

With a lower CP than its evolution Blissey, Chansey’s motivation drops slower, making it a fortress in Gym defense. 🏰

Chansey PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

Chansey has an absolutely abysmal moveset for PvP, and its massive HP does it no favors whatsoever. 😶

🟡 Ultra League

For a Pokémon whose maximum CP is just a lowly 1418, the Ultra League is out of bounds for Chansey.

🟣 Master League

See that egg Chansey is carrying? 🥚 Not Master League, more like Master Chef! 🍳
