Biological characteristics

Chansey is a rare egg-shaped Pokémon with much fatty tissue around its body and hair-like outgrowths on its head. It is said to bring happiness and good luck to whoever catches it. It has a pouch on its belly as a marsupial animal would, and in this pouch it always keeps a special egg. These eggs, several of which are laid daily by Chansey, are both nutritious and delicious to the point where they are eagerly consumed even by people who do not have an appetite.^[2] It is unlikely that these are the same eggs that they use to reproduce, as they willingly share them with others, especially the injured and/or depressed. It has been said that they love to share them with individuals who have good in their hearts. For other uses, see FAT. Fats consist of a wide group of compounds that are generally soluble in organic solvents and largely insoluble in water. ... This article is about mammals. ...

Chansey is a symbol of kindness and welfare,^[2] and for good reason, in the wild, Chansey are often found helping the young of other Pokémon species for various reasons. It also is said that Chansey brings happiness to its owners,^[2] partly because it is uncommon and difficult to catch with a Pokéball. For that reason, it is frequently sought out and poached.^[2] In the fictional world of the Pokémon video games and anime television series, a Poké Ball (known as Monster Ball or Monsuta-bo-ru in Japan) is a spherical device used by Pokémon Trainers to capture new Pokémon and store them when they are not in use. ...

All Chansey are female; it breeds with other male Pokémon of its Egg Group (Fairy), such as Pikachu or Castform. In the second-generation game Pokémon Gold and Silver, it received a Stage-2 evolution, Blissey. In the fourth-generation game Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, it received a Baby-Stage form; Chansey evolves from a Happiny. In Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, wild Chansey can be found in the tall grass on Routes 79 and 2000. The appearance rate is uncommon (50%).

In the video games

Chansey has a storied past in the above Pokémon games thanks to its extremely lopsided statistics and movepool. In the first generation of games, Chansey had the highest number of Hit Points of all 151 then-existing Pokémon, alongside a high Special rating, offset by a below average Speed rating and one of the lowest Attack and Defense statistics in Pokémon. It was often used by Pokémon Trainers as a special brick.^{[citation needed]} In the third-generation Pokémon games for the Game Boy Advance, both Chansey and its evolution, Blissey, gained the Natural Cure and Serene Grace abilities.

In the first- and third-generation games, Chansey is one of the rarest Pokémon that can be captured in the Kanto Safari Zone; additionally, Chansey can be caught wild in the Cerulean Cave in first-generation games, as well as snagged as a Shadow Pokémon in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. In the second- and fourth-generation games, Chansey can be caught wild outside of Safari Zone areas. In Silver, Gold, and Crystal, a Chansey can be found on route 3 on the Kanto side, after you cut the grass and go to the tree area. In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, a Chansey is used by a trainer named Cheryl, whom the player escorts through Eterna Forest. This is one of many times where wild double battles will occur.

Chansey are also found in the Nintendo 64 game Pokémon Snap in the Beach Course.

This pokémon (along with Blissey and Happiny) also has a number of items associated with them. There's a chance that they may hold the Lucky Punch, which increases Chansey's critical hit ratio and the Oval Stone, which is used to evolve Happiny. There is also the Luck incense, which is used to breed Happiny and to double the amount of money earned in battle. However, the most sought after item that Chansey may have is the Lucky Egg, which can double the amount of Experience Points (or EXP) earned in battle.

In Diamond and Pearl, Chansey and Happiny are both available in the wild, but not in the Safari Zone (caught this way in Firered and Leafgreen). The two routes north and south of Solacean Town both has Chansey and trainers with Happiny. The protagonist may obtain a Happiny by receiving an egg from a mountain man in Hearthome, before traveling in Solacean.

The Chansey evolutionary chain, strangely, all gives high EXP points in battle. A level 20 Happiny would be worth 900 points, while Chansey would give more than a legendary.
