The Blissey Tank submitted by Nick G.

Finally, another suggestion! Thanks goes out to Nick G. for this one.

Nature: Modest

Ability: Serene Grace

Evs: 252 Hp or Def/ 252 Sp Attack put the remaining six in either Hp or Def

Item: Leftovers

Moveset:
Flamethrower
Thuderbolt
Ice Beam
Softboiled

"It works pretty well as a special tank since nobody expects it. Serene grace doubles the odds of para/burn/freeze which is so nice. I know its not the most original thing out there, but its worked well for me."
For those of you too lazy to look it up, the percent of paralysis, burn, and freeze with serene grace is: 20% for each. With blissey being such a sturdy pokemon, this guy can take multiple hits. Thus this blissey will probably be able to fire off multiple of these. Thus the likely hood of one of these things occuring is actually quite high. The moveset gives impressive type coverage as well, the bolt-beam is here as well as the addition of fire to cover your steels, grasses, bugs, and anything else fire is good against.

Counters:
Anything that can use hard hitting physical attacks. As always blissey is a special wall in general. Also blissey walls this set.... kinda odd eh? although you do have the possibility of a status on the other blissey.

Picture this:
Opponent sends out gyrados to start setting up, they taunt you or DD in preperation for a sweep, but what's this, a thunder bolt right to the face of gyrados. Nobody saw it coming. The surprise factor of something like that makes this guy an excellent choice for a team.

~RVOK with a special thanks to Nick G.

Hey, I love your blog. What about an Electivire with Expert Belt? I have been using it and it tricks people because they expect choice band. But, I can't come up with a decent moveset for Electivire. Any thoughts?
