This blissey is just a part of my team and will be the eventual special wall. Looking at the EV spreads and natures, I thought it might be prudent to go with a modest nature to bolster the power of ice beam to catch dragons on the switch and get guaranteed kills (hopefully 4x that carry yache too). The total difference between max EV defense bold and modest is an 11 points to defense while it comes out to a much larger difference in special attack. If anyone can help and give me advice on this particular set up it would be greatly appreciated.

Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 108 SAtk/252 Def/148 Hp
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)

Hey, I know you are new but this sub-forum is for posting Rate my Team's only. If you have a groundbreaking new set that you would like people to discuss, a better place would be Stark Mountain.
 
As the others have said, this forum is for posting finished teams not just one Pokemon.

If maximising points is so important, then surely you'd rather use a Calm nature and get a +36 point total, rather than the +24 that Modest allows. It boils down to the fact that Blissey needs all the defence she can muster, and that +11 points can make a big difference. For example, Jolly CB Dugtrio has a chance of 2HKOing a Modest 252HP/252Def Blissey (49.30% - 57.98%) but willalmost never 2HKO a 252HP/252Def Bold Blissey factoring in Leftovers (45.24% - 53.22%). As a Dugtrio user, I can confirm that I hate being forced to run Adamant as I fall behind Infernape, Raikou, Starmie etc. On the other hand, Blissey has no real reason to worry about boosting about her SpA, especially since she'd need 269 SpA to OHKO standard Garchomp (+nature and 232 Evs IIRC).

Generally, discussion of a single Pokemon would go in the Stark forum, but this doesn't seem to merit a thread of its own, do I reccomend that you post in the Simple Question, Simple Answer thread if you want more opinions.

Thread locked.

Edit: Sorry maniac, you beat me to it. I took waaay too long replying.
 
Actual points difference is irrelevant. Both give a 10% increase. Relative amounts (so % difference) is all that matters.
