Blissey's immense special bulk, useful utility moves, and reliable recovery allow it to function as a niche specially defensive pivot, as it checks threats such as Choice Specs Dragapult, Walking Wake, and Mega Charizard Y. Seismic Toss allows Blissey to pressure anything that isn't a Ghost-type with meaningful damage, as well as break Walking Wake's and Cyclizar's Substitute. Toxic is the preferred option to cripple Pokemon like Walking Wake, Mega Charizard Y, and Volcarona. Thunder Wave can also be used to annoy fast threats like Tornadus-T and Iron Valiant. It also allows Blissey to status Steel-types like Kingambit, Heatran, and Kartana. Teleport allows Blissey to safely pivot in teammates like Dragapult, Zamazenta, and Mega Medicham. However, Blissey is an acceptable Stealth Rock user if no other fits on your team. Shadow Ball can be considered as a niche option to break Dragapult's Substitutes and chip offensive Gholdengo, but it usually isn't worth dropping other moves. Tera Fairy gives Blissey a Fighting resistance in exchange for negligible Poison and Steel weaknesses, and it reduces the damage it takes from Pursuit users like Kingambit, Weavile, and Mega Tyranitar. This should be used if Blissey absolutely has to take on a Fighting- or Dark-type like Zamazenta, Mega Lopunny, or Weavile. Blissey's defensive profile makes it a liability into certain Ghost-types, specifically Dragon Dance Dragapult, Gholdengo, and Bulk Up Annihilape. Kingambit is a great option that deals with the former two threats while also benefitting from Blissey bringing it in safely with Teleport, while Toxic Tornadus-T and Gliscor can help out against Annihilape. Other wallbreakers like Tapu Lele, Dragapult, Mega Charizard Y, and Mega Medicham also appreciate pivot support and benefit from Blissey spreading Thunder Wave. A switch-in to powerful physical attackers, like Zamazenta, Mega Lopunny, Mega Medicham, and Kingambit, is necessary. Options like Toxapex, Slowbro, Skarmory, and Great Tusk can help out on this front. Knock Off is irritating for Blissey, as losing its Heavy-Duty Boots is quite detrimental to its pivoting efforts. Options such as Flyinium Z Tornadus-T and Gliscor can help out in this regard.
