Of course, Blissey's strength lay solely in taking damage. At most, it could serve as a tank and soak up an opponent's attacks. Even in the games, its main purpose was to frustrate opponents. In the real world, trying to defeat Zhuo Yue with Blissey was pure wishful thinking.

That was why, despite Slaking being an exceptionally powerful Pokémon, few Trainers were willing to
