Chansey (ラッキー, Lucky) is a creature in the Pokémon media franchise.

Origin

Chansey's official artwork from Pokémon Red and Green.

Chansey is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #113 as the "Egg Pokémon". It evolves from Happiny when leveled up while holding an Oval Stone in the daytime from Generation IV onward, and evolves into Blissey when leveled up with high friendship from Generation II onward. In Pokemon the Series and Pokémon Yellow, it is often found as the assistant of Nurse Joy in Pokémon Centers located in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh.

Soft-Boiled (formatted as "Softboiled" prior to Generation VI) is a Normal-type move which heals the user for half its maximum HP. It can also be used outside of battle to transfer 20% of the user's HP to a teammate, although this will fail if the user lacks enough HP to donate. Softboiled is TM41 in Generation I, with Chansey and Mew being the only Pokémon capable of learning it. As of Generation II, it is the signature move of Chansey and Blissey.

In Super Smash Bros.

Chansey appears as a stage element and a Poké Ball Pokemon. Its Japanese voice clip is from the Pokémon episode Pokémon Fashion Flash while its English voice clip is from the Pokémon episode A Chansey Operation.

Chansey's sprite

Chansey makes its debut in Super Smash Bros., using Softboiled to create three eggs which contain items in them. These eggs can also explode and, unlike normal items, they can be attacked before they land.

Each egg is spawned 30 frames apart from each other and can be delayed by 4 frames each time Chansey is hit. Eggs have an initial upward velocity of 40 units per frame (u/f) and sideways velocity of 7 u/f with 0-8 u/f added to each direction (equivalent to 1.333, 0.233, and 0-0.266 u/f respectively in later games). After throwing all three eggs, Chansey will disappear after 90 frames. Chansey will not throw any eggs in Training Mode.

Chansey has a spawn chance of 1/12.

As a stage element

Chansey's Saffron City sprite.

Chansey also appears in the Saffron City stage. Unless items are turned off or the stage is played in Training Mode, it will use Softboiled to create a single egg when it appears out of the door of the Silph Building. Also, it heals a small amount of damage when touching players, as opposed to the other Pokémon which cause damage. Chansey can be KO'd by characters and by items, although doing so grants no reward.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee

Chansey makes a brief appearance in the opening cinematic.

Chansey on Final Destination

Chansey reappears in Super Smash Bros. Melee. It functions similarly to its appearance in SSB, except now it will create between three to five eggs. Most eggs are thrown directly from its pouch, but the last egg is picked up and lobbed These eggs will either heal for 7% or have a 1/5 chance to act like a Capsule, either containing an item or exploding when broken. Chansey, like Cyndaquil and Marill, has 12 HP can be KO'd.

Chansey's Japanese voice clip comes from a different part of Pokémon Fashion Flash while its English voice clip is the same one used in Smash 64.

Each egg is thrown with an upward velocity of 1.75 units per frame and a sideways velocity between -1 and 1 u/f. Healing eggs despawn after 360 frames while throwable eggs despawn after the default 1400 frames.

Chansey has a spawn chance of 30/583.

As a stage element

Chansey's appearance on Poke Floats.

A giant balloon of Chansey is one of the many floating and bending platforms that make the Poké Floats stage. Compared to the other balloons, Chansey's balloon appears and disappears rather rapidly and jerkily, but in a pattern.

Trophy

Chansey features as a collectible trophy, randomly obtained in the Trophy Lottery.

Chansey

Renowned for its kind temperament, Chansey has been known to offer injured creatures a highly nutritious egg to aid their recovery. Legend has it that this charitable creature brings happiness to anyone who captures it. All Chansey are female, and every now and then one is found in possession of a Lucky Egg.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

As a stage element

Chansey returns on the Saffron City stage, with the same role it had on the stage in previous games.

Spirit

Chansey also appears as an Advanced-class support spirit.

Chansey's Spirit Battle uses a nurse Jigglypuff puppet fighter with 300 HP and is fought on Pokémon Stadium. Jigglypuff recovers some HP after a certain amount of time passes, referencing Chansey's signature move Soft-Boiled.

Trivia

• Chansey is one of four (and the first) Pokémon to be both a Poké Ball summon and a stage element in the same installment, as it is present as both in Smash 64 and Melee. Electrode, Scizor, and Palkia gained this distinction in Ultimate.
