Blissey is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II. Known as the Happiness Pokémon, Blissey is renowned for its incredible kindness and healing abilities. It has a large, ovoid body with a pink upper half and a white lower half, resembling a nurse's uniform. Blissey's most notable feature is the pouch on its belly that holds a single egg, which is said to be filled with happiness and bring joy to anyone who eats even a small bite.
This compassionate Pokémon has the ability to sense sadness and illness in both people and other Pokémon. When it detects such feelings, Blissey will rush to the aid of the afflicted, no matter how far away, to share its Lucky Egg and nurse them back to health. Blissey's fluffy fur coat acts as a sensor, enabling it to read emotions and respond accordingly.
Blissey is known for its extraordinary base HP stat, which is tied for the highest of all Pokémon. This, combined with its high Special Defense, makes it an excellent special wall in competitive battling. Blissey's eggs are not only a source of happiness but also highly prized, fetching the highest prices in markets due to their delicious taste and ability to bring good fortune.
