Chansey has pink, egg-shaped body. She has hair-like outgrowths on the side of her head. Chansey has stubby limbs and a short tail. Chansey has a pouch that holds an egg in.
Gender differences
Chansey is a female-only species with no male-counterpart.
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.
Chansey is also a Pokéfloat. It 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 it. All Chansey are female, and every now and then one is found in possession of a Lucky Egg.
Chansey lays nutritionally excellent eggs on an everyday basis. The eggs are so delicious, they are easily and eagerly devoured by even those people who have lost their appetite.

Origin
Its tendency to carry eggs in a pouch is very monotreme- or marsupial-like. It may also just be based on a general concept of females and motherhood.
Name origin
Chansey's name is a corruption of chance; like its Japanese name, Lucky, it seems to refer to the rarity of this Pokémon.
