Blissey (F) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Natural Cure

Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Seismic Toss
- Soft-Boiled
- Teleport
- Toxic / Stealth Rock
[SET COMMENTS]
Blissey's high Special Defense stat is pivotal to its role as a wall. In addition to its great bulk, it gets access to great utility moves such as Teleport for momentum, Soft-Boiled for reliable recovery and longevity, Toxic to cripple foes, and Stealth Rock to put pressure on Mega Charizard X and Choice Scarf Cinderace. Seismic Toss additionally provides a consistent damaging move to chip incoming Pokemon without the means to recover and deal with special attackers such as Greninja and Landorus by taking hits. Blissey runs Heavy-Duty Boots to prevent passive chip from entry hazards to help it create momentum for its teammates. Staraptor pairs well with Blissey as part of Normal's defensive core with access to Intimidate and ability to take hits from threats such as Great Tusk and physically offensive Iron Valiant. It can also use Defog to remove hazards if Blissey's Heavy-Duty Boots have been removed by Knock Off. Since Blissey is able to take hits from Pokemon such as Gholdengo and Blacephalon, (AC) it can freely switch into them and then use Teleport to bring in one of Normal's offensive threats such as Ursaluna, Terapagos, or Mega Lopunny. Ursaluna and Mega Lopunny provide Normal with physical wallbreaking capabilities, while Calm Mind Terapagos can be used as a special wallbreaker. Terapagos can also be used as a bulkier presence to remove hazards with Rapid Spin and poison foes with Toxic. Hisuian Zoroark allows for mind games to be played, as its secondary typing provides an immunity to Fighting. In addition, it is able to disguise itself as a more passive Pokemon such as Blissey to provide a false sense of security to the opponent. Ditto provides a counter to setup Pokemon like Mega Scizor and Ceruledge, being able to transform into them and outspeeding them while also potentially reverse sweeping the opponent's team. Mega Pidgeot provides strong Flying-type coverage with Hurricane against Fighting-types such as Choice Specs Iron Valiant and Kommo-o.
