Chansey (Japanese: ラッキー Lucky) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.
She evolves from Happiny when leveled up holding an Oval Stone during the day, and evolves into Blissey via happiness.
Biology
Physiology
Chansey have pink, egg-shaped bodies. They have hair-like outgrowths on the side of their heads instead of a pigtail she had as a Happiny. Chansey have stubby limbs and has grown a short tail. Chansey's lower body is fully developed and they now have a pouch that holds an egg.
Gender differences
Chansey is a female-only species with no male counterpart.
Special abilities
Chansey, and her evolved form, Blissey, are the only known Pokémon that can naturally learn Softboiled. However, Mew could learn it from a TM in Generation I, while members of the Clefairy and Togepi families can be tutored the move in Generation III.
Behavior
Extremely rare in the wild, Chansey is said to bring happiness to those who are lucky enough to capture it. Chansey lays a new egg every day. The egg is extremely nutritious and tasty. A kind-hearted and charitable Pokémon, Chansey will share its eggs with injured Pokémon it may come across. However it will not share its egg with anyone who has evil in their heart.
Chansey walks carefully to protect its egg from damage but can be startlingly fast when it must run from danger.
Habitat
Chansey are rarely seen in the wild. It is a common sight seen working at Pokémon Centers. Wild ones are said to exist in Kanto and Sinnoh.

Other appearances
Chansey will sometime appear from the Silph Co. Building in Saffron City, and can also be released from a Poké Ball in which case it will shoot out eggs.
When released from a Poké Ball, Chansey will use Softboiled and produce five eggs. Anyone can pick them up and they will either slightly heal the holder or contain items. If attacked, Chansey can be knocked away, stopping egg production.
Chansey is also a Pokéfloat. The float will quickly bob up and down from the bottom of the screen four times.
Trophy information
Renowned for its kind temperament, Chansey has been known to offer injured creatures a highly nutritious egg to aid their recovery. Legend has it that this charitable creature brings happiness to anyone who captures a Chansey. All Chansey are female, and every now and then one is found in possession of a Lucky Egg.

Trivia
- Chansey originally was given her Japanese name, Lucky, as her English beta name.
- Chansey has the second-highest base HP of all Pokémon. The highest is Chansey's evolution, Blissey.
- Both of them however, have the lowest base stat for both Attack and Defense in the games.
- Chansey has the highest base experience yield of all Pokémon, tied with its family Happiny, Blissey, and Arceus.
- Chansey is one of five Pokémon that initially did not evolve into or from another Pokémon, but now is part of a three-stage evolutionary line (the other four being Electabuzz, Magmar, Porygon and Roselia). Interestingly, while Electabuzz and Magmar gained a pre-evolution in Generation II and an evolution in Generation IV, Chansey did exactly the reverse in both generations.
- Chansey is the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order to be related by evolution to Pokémon from two different generations to her own.
- Chansey, and her evolution family, Blissey and Happiny, have the most in-game items associated with them. This includes: Lucky Punch, Lucky Egg, Luck Incense, and the Oval Stone.
- Chansey shares the same species name with Exeggcute. They are both known as the Egg Pokémon.
- Golbat and Chansey are the only Pokémon that evolve by happiness that are already evolved.
- In Generation II and beyond, when breeding was introduced, Chansey hatch from an egg with an egg already in their pouch. The same oddity occurs with Kangaskhan, which hatch with a baby in their pouches, and Happiny, which hatch with a rock in their pouches.
- Its Platinum Pokédex entry states that it lays eggs, confirming that Pokémon are able to do so (as it has been mentioned that nobody has seen Pokémon lay eggs); however, these eggs are apparently not Happiny eggs, but eggs that are high in nutrition instead. Theoretically, these eggs could possibly be unfertilized Happiny eggs.
Origin
Her tendency to carry eggs in a pouch is very monotreme- or marsupial-like. She may also just be based on a general concept of females and motherhood.
Name origin
Chansey's name is a corruption of chance; like her Japanese name, Lucky, it seems to refer to Chansey's rarity.
In other languages
