Well, just a little while ago, I managed to catch this beauty in my HeartGold:
Ladies and gentleman, may I draw you attention to the Pokeball this Chansey is in and the place of catching? That´s right, I am now proud owner of shiny Safari zone Chansey! Can´t belive my luck!
Her stats aren´t the best, as evidenced here:
Tough it is nothing that little (hyper) trainig under the shining Alola sun wound´t cure. Also, she has Carefull nature (-Sp.Atk, +Sp.Def), which is definitely something I can work with. My question tough is: can I make this Chansey competetively viable? I am thinking of 252HP, 252Def and 4Sp. Def investment.
Oh, here are her Pokeathlon stats:
And here is she just after the catch, walking with me :-)
I am so proud of this catch! My plan is to put on her all ribbons (gen4-gen7) that I can get, and make her good battler for Battle Spot Doubles format. Which leaves me with question: which moveset woud be best? I am thinking of the (altough cheap, but I can´t use her in rated battles anyway, since she is a gen4 pokemon) minimize-guard split strat with Shuckle, moves Minimize, Softboiled, Flamethrower and Defense Curl/Toxic. Why Flamethrower? Well, I can´t get Seismic toss on her (tutor in gen3, then egg move), and Flamethrower has a) burn chance (halving attack+continuous damage), b) can hit even Gengar. So, what do you think? Yay or nay?
Oh, and I need some name suggestions, before I transfer her.
