[Set Overview]
Many people would laugh at the idea of a Blissey lead, simply because its best known service is as a wall. This set attempts to create a support lead that can also be used in mid/late game as a wall. Lead Blissey also makes an excellent scout. An attack based Pokemon that has strong defenses and resistance to Fighting type moves makes a great companion, like Dragonite or Celebi.
[SET]
name: Lead Bliss
move 1: Counter/Flame Thrower
move 2: Toxic
move 3: Stealth Rock
move 4: Wish
item: Leftovers
nature: Bold
ability: Natural Cure
evs: 200 HP / 240 Def / 68 SpA
[Set Comments]
The purpose of this set is to lay out Stealth Rock, scout out your opponents physical attackers, and poison Blissey's counter. If you can, wish, and switch to a Pokemon that can take the attack aimed at Blissey, and retaliate.
Blissey can be referred to later in the game for wish or as a wall.
The choice between Counter, and Flame Thrower should be made based off of your team's weaknesses. If you need a Scizor buffer, run flame thrower. Otherwise, Counter works pretty well, using your opponents physical forces against them.
With the ev's given, Flame Thrower ensures a OHKO on Scizor with minimum special defense and a neutral nature.
[Additional Comments]
This set will likely take your opponent by surprise, and is quite durable. The main reason to utilize this set is because it combines a wall and a lead, giving you an extra slot on your team.
If you run this set, make sure to have a Pokemon that can resist physical attacks aimed at Blissey. Calm Mind Celebi and Dragon Dance Dragonite are good examples, because they have decent defenses, resist those deadly Fighting type moves, and can usually set up while your opponent switches to a more appropriate counter.
[Counters]
Expert Belt Electrivire packs a powerful punch with Cross Chop, dealing between 66.8% and 78.7% damage, and likely forces a switch out. Another good Counter is Life Orb Dragonite with Super Power, dealing between 83.3% and 98.1%. Life orb Infernape can also do frightening damage, boasting an ensured OHKO with Close Combat. Keep these guys around and Blissey will be hiding for sure.
