Damn Blissey is a menace... Offensive mons get worked by Dazzling Gleam (it's less predictable than Hyper Beam for dodging), Defensive mons don't have enough firepower to take it out before the timer runs out (not to mention the timer often still has like 5 secs left on it when it says time's up- what's with that?!)
To add insult to injury, I'm trying to level up a gym, so when I stall out at Blissey (3rd mon out of 7), it only increases the Prestige by like 1/20th of the wheel... I don't want to put Flareon in the lineup due to Water types on both sides of Blissey, and my Scizor isn't leveled up enough to be strong enough to use. I'll try Alakazam again next time, but his HP is so low he can't take much of a hit before dying
Really need that Machamp (28 Machop candy away).... hoping for a Machop nest in my area for this upcoming nest migration coming up in an hour and a half.
