Blissey (Japanese: ハピナス Happinas) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

She evolves from Chansey via happiness. She is the final form of Happiny.

Biology

Physiology

Blissey has a large egg shaped body, one half pink and the other white. The hair-like growths she had as a Chansey have curled up on her head. She has white, wing-like appendages where her arms meet her body and around her middle. She seems to have lost the tail she had as a Chansey. Like her pre-evolutions, she has a pouch on her stomach that holds an egg.

Gender differences

Blissey is a female-only species with no male counterpart.

Special abilities

It is said that anyone who takes one bite of a Blissey's egg will become unfailingly caring and pleasant to everyone.

Blissey, and her pre-evolved form, Chansey, are the only known Pokémon that learn Softboiled naturally. 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. Smeargle can also Sketch the move.

Behavior

Blissey is an extremely compassionate Pokémon by nature. If it sees a sick Pokémon, it will attempt to nurse the injured Pokémon back to health. Blissey's fluffy fur allows it to sense feelings of sadness. Upon sensing any sadness, this Pokémon will race to the source of the sadness, no matter the distance, and share its egg of happiness that instantly makes a person smile.

Trivia

• Of all Pokémon, Blissey's HP base stat is the highest, at 255, giving it the ability to have the highest HP of any other Pokémon in the games (with a total of 714 HP if 252 HP EVs are added and if it has 31 HP IVs).
  • Blissey's HP base stat is the highest legitimate single stat out of all Pokémon.
    • Blissey's HP base stat of 255 is the highest base stat possible, as all base stats are a single byte, the maximum value of which is 255 (1111 1111).
      • Blissey's HP stat alone is higher than the entire base stat totals of 41 Pokémon, one of which is fully evolved, and tied with one Pokémon.
• Blissey, and its evolution family, Happiny and Chansey, have the most in-game items associated with them. This includes: Lucky Punch, Lucky Egg, Luck Incense and the Oval Stone.
  • Coincidentally, three of them have the word "luck" in their names, possibly referring to Chansey's Japanese name, Lucky.
• Blissey shares the same species name with Togetic. They are both known as Happiness Pokémon.
• In Generation III, Blissey learns a move earlier than its pre-evolved form, Chansey. Chansey learns Egg Bomb at level 35, whilst Blissey learns it at level 28.
• Blissey has the highest Special Defense of all Normal-type Pokémon.

Origin

It may be based on a nurse. Design-wise, it appears to have some physical similarities to Nurse Joy from the anime in both color and hair.

Name origin

Blissey's name comes from the word bliss, as in happiness, and from the ending suffix of its pre-evolution, Chansey.

Happinas may be a combination of happiness and nurse or just be a corruption of happiness. "Nasu" also means eggplant in Japanese, which may be a pun on the egg theme of this evolutionary line.

In other languages

• German: Heiteira - From heiter (happy) and Ei (egg).
• French: Leuphorie - From l'oeuf (the egg) and euphorie (euphoria).
• Korean: 해피나스 Haepinaseu
• Chinese (Taiwan): 幸福蛋 Xìng Fú Dàn - "Happy/blessed egg". References Blissey's Japanese name, Happinas.
