Double Egg Build Explanation

Double Egg Build Healing and Damage Test

Since the build is centered on Egg Bomb and Soft-Boiled, equipping items that will maximize Egg Bomb's damage and Soft-Boiled's healing is the ideal item combination. Exp. Share and Buddy Barrier are core items for the build, leaving only one (1) item left for consideration.

Out of all the items tested, Sp. Atk. Specs will be the best for the build. It produced the highest result for Soft-Boiled's healing with decent Egg Bomb damage score. However, it does require Blissey to fully stack the item first to maximize its moves' effects.

For a non-stacking build, replacing Sp. Atk. Specs with Wise Glasses would be the best option. The item had the second best Soft-Boiled healing result with a decent Egg Bomb damage result.

List of Battle Items

Best Moveset

Move	Explanation
Soft-Boiled	Soft-Boiled allows you to rapidly heal yourself and your allies for high amounts of HP. Pairing this move with Egg Bomb drastically improves its usability.
Egg Bomb	Egg Bomb offers both high damage and effective disruption, which is great for offense-focused supporters. Pairing this move with Soft-Boiled drastically improves its usability.

This moveset allows Blissey to support its allies defensively and offensively. The moves also have a natural synergy with each other since they share charges. Soft-Boiled drastically improves Blissey and its allies' survival during teamfights. It's especially effective when used repeatedly on a single ally. Egg Bomb can be disruptive in fights when used constantly. It can also be used defensively and discourage enemies from pursuing an ally or Blissey.

Soft-Boiled and Safeguard are Blissey's main utiity and support moves.

Soft-Boiled is a simple but effective healing move. It heals both the target ally and Blissey for a high amount, and it has charges that allows for repeated use.

Safeguard is a strong anti-status effect move. It removes all negative status effects like stuns, slows, and any kind of debuffs from Blissey and its allies in an area. It also grants them a shield and makes them immune to hindrances.

On the other hand, Egg Bomb and Helping Hand are Blissey's offensive moves, but they take different forms.

Egg Bomb is a versatile damage move that has crowd-control properties. It deals damage to enemies in an area and knocks them away. It also has charges that allow for repeated use.

Helping Hand is a offensive move in the form of a buff. It increases the movement speed and attack speed of Blissey and its allies, making it a great tool for pushing the aggression. It also makes Blissey's attacks into Boosted Attacks while the buff lasts, allowing Blissey to contribute some damage in fights.

When choosing which moves to pair, it's best to look at what the team needs in order to survive fights. If there are a lot of burst-damage Pokemon on the opposing team, pairing Soft-Boiled with any move from the other moveset would be ideal. However, if there are multiple disablers, Safeguard would work best.

Play Blissey at Top or Bottom

Blissey is a Support Pokemon, so you will have to choose either the top or bottom lane to stay in for the early game. This is due to Blissey not having Moves that can clear Wild Pokemon in the center quickly, but instead using moves that can support ally Pokemon in lanes

Harass and Secure Early game

Blissey's basic attacks become boosted every few seconds rather than the number of attacks. This will allow Blissey to be able deal some good damage in a single attack, allowing you to trade damage with enemies or steal/secure wild Pokemon. Combined with its Pound Move, Blissey can deal decent early game damage with a single combo. Blissey has also got her heal to get back some lost health after exchanging blows.

Pair up with Allies with High Offense

Being a support Pokemon, Blissey can't dish out a lot of damage by itself. Instead, Blissey can help sustain teammates that can deal damage, making hem stay in the fight much longer. Stay near your damage dealing Pokemon like your Attackers, All-Rounders, and Speedsters, and use your heals and buffs so that they'll have the advantage over the enemy Pokemon and knock 'em out!

Tank Damage with Soft-Boiled

Soft-Boiled is a powerful Move that can turn Blissey into a deceptively tanky Pokemon. Not only do you have three charges of heals that can heal your ally, but it will also heal yourself. Enemy Pokemon can be easily baited in by Blissey when at low health then not be able to knock them out quick enough due to its heal.

Soft-Boiled: Blissey Move Effect and Cooldown

Stay in the back without Soft-Boiled

If you are running Blissey without Soft-Boiled it is better to keep behind a teammate and not tank at all. Blissey has a lot of health without Soft-Boiled but low Defense, making it difficult to soak up enough damage to be considered tanky. Play it safe and buff your teammates from the backlines!

Use Egg Bomb for Tactical Stuns

Learning Egg Bomb allows Blissey to have a damaging move that can be lobbed from a safe distance. Additionally, the move also provides decent crowd control if you or your team are in a pinch. Use it to set up offensive plays, or just stun enemies in place for a quick getaway.

Egg Bomb: Blissey Move Effect and Cooldown

Stay in the Frontlines with Helping Hand

Helping Hand is one of the strongest Buff move in the game, giving your teammates faster Movement Speed and Attack Speed. If you position correctly during a teamfight, you will be able to buff your entire team and give them an edge over the enemy team. Keep using Helping Hand whenever its off cooldown and make sure you hit as many teammates as you can.

Helping Hand: Blissey Move Effect and Cooldown

Use Bliss Assistance on your Strongest Ally

Bliss Assistance is a powerful support ability that can not only make an ally durable by giving them shields and partially soak the damage, but will also buff their offense by increasing their Attack and Sp. Attack. Besided buffing a teammate, Blissey will also knock back any Pokemon in your way upon activation, allowing you to disrupt the enemy team. Timing this Unite Move right can save an ally and turn the tides of battle in your teams favor!

Blissey Combos

Egg Heal Combo

Egg Heal Combo
► ►
Soft-Boiled ► Soft-Boiled ► Soft-Boiled
Soft-Boiled is Blissey's "don't die" move. Since Blissey can store up to 5 eggs at a time, stocking them then spamming them on your injured ally is one way to keep them alive. Try to wait for them to get wounded first to maximize the heal's value.

Buff and Brawl Combo

Buff and Brawl Combo
+ ►
Safeguard + Helping Hand ► Standard Attack
This combo buffs Blissey and nearby allies. Start by activating Safeguard to remove any debuffs inflicted by opponents while also protecting allies against disables. Then, activate Helping Hand to increase both you and your team's DPS. Moreover, the move's secondary effect turns all your attacks into boosted attacks so it is recommended to use this combo when pushing lanes or team fights.
