Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand
Blissey is the Happiness Pokémon — a bulky Normal type from Happiny → Chansey → Blissey. In Pokémon GO it is the ultimate gym defender and a Great/Ultra League tank. Normal moves only hit Normal hard and lose to Fighting. Evolve Chansey or catch Blissey from eggs, raids, and events.
Say it: BLI-ssey
Blissey (#242) is a Normal Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the final form of Chansey. Trainers use it as a top gym defender and bulky PvP tank with Pound + Dazzling Gleam / Psychic / Hyper Beam — not as a raid Normal attacker. Against Blissey, lead with Fighting.

Pokédex notes
Blissey is a Normal-type Pokémon in Pokémon GO. National Dex #0242. Normal types need coverage moves — check our moveset guide before spending TMs.
Where in GO: Wild spawns, eggs, Field Research, and seasonal events
Invest tip: Invest for gym defense and PvP bulk, not raid DPS. Pound + Dazzling Gleam is the usual kit. Shadow Blissey hits harder but loses bulk — usually worse for its niche. No Community Day exclusive is required.
