Chansey (Japanese: ラッキー Lucky) is a Normal-type Pokémon.

She evolves from Happiny when leveled up holding an Oval Stone during the day and evolves into Blissey when leveled up with high friendship.

Biology

Physiology

Chansey have pink, egg-shaped bodies. They have hair-like outgrowths on the side of their heads instead of the pigtail they had as a Happiny. Chansey have stubby limbs and have 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 learn Softboiled by leveling up. 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 friendship and extremely good luck to those who are lucky enough to capture her. Chansey lays several eggs each day. The egg is extremely nutritious and tasty. A kindhearted and charitable Pokémon, Chansey will share her eggs with injured Pokémon she may come across. However, she will not share her egg with anyone who has evil in his or her heart. Chansey walks carefully to protect her egg from damage, but can be startlingly fast when she must run from danger.

Trivia

• In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Chansey was originally known as "Lucky", which also happens to be her romanized Japanese name.
• In Generation III, Chansey and her evolution Blissey had the highest base experience yield of all Pokémon.
  • In Generation IV, this attribute is further shared with her pre-evolution Happiny, as well as Arceus.
  • In Generation V, Chansey no longer has the highest yield, as Blissey's yield was greatly increased.
• 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). While Electabuzz and Magmar gained a pre-evolution in Generation II and an evolution in Generation IV, Chansey did the reverse, gaining her evolution first.
  • 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 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.
• In Generation II, when breeding was introduced, and beyond, 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.
  • Her Platinum Pokédex entry states that she 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 Chansey or Happiny Eggs, but eggs that are high in nutrition instead. Theoretically, these eggs could possibly be unfertilized Chansey or Happiny Eggs. However, these eggs do not match the color scheme of Eggs in the games, or Happiny Eggs in the anime.

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. As her Pokédex entries mention her tendency to lay nutritious eggs everyday, Chansey may also be based on chickens or other poultry fowls.

Name origin

Chansey is a corruption of chance and chancy. It may refer to Chansey's rarity and/or the chance of a successful catch.

Lucky is literally lucky, for the same possible reason.
