Counter-Bliss


Sorry for the late post, I've been busy this weekend. This set is one of my favorites and is probably the first non standard moveset that I ever started using.

Nature: Bold

Evs: 252 HP/ 252 Def / 6 Sp Def

Moveset:
Counter
SoftBoiled
Thunder wave
Ice beam/ Seismic toss

As the most used special wall in the game, Blissey is somewhat of a magnet for physical attacks. This set takes full advantage of that with the addition of counter. With as much HP as blissey has, the only moves that OHKO Blissey are things like non-STAB close combat and a dragon dancing T-tar or Gyrados. This blissey Takes an attack that it knows it will survive through and counters for an automatic KO. Any physical attack that does more than half damage to blissey will automatically result in death for the opponent unless they have some sort of focus sash or band on. The rest of blissey's moves are standard. Ice beam or Seismic toss is up to you, but without Ice beam, ghost types force you to switch out as you can merely paralyze him.

Counters: Lucario is a possible counter for his use of accurate special fighting moves. Anything with close combat, or anything that can set up focus punch is also worth a mention as blissey will mostlikey not survive one of these. Also anything with significantly boosted stats is a threat to blissey.

Overall:
An excellent special wall all around, now with the ability to counter physical attackers.
