Chansey has no raid or PvP ranking right now. Keep a high-IV one for the Pokedex and for future move updates or limited-format cups, and spend your Stardust elsewhere.
- Bulk-leaning spread (128 Defense / 487 Stamina) — it stays on the field longer, which suits shielded PvP formats.
- A second charged move costs 75,000 Dust and 75 Candy, and with 3 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Partly Cloudy weather — worth timing raids around.

FAQ
What is the best moveset for Chansey in Pokemon GO?
Chansey's best moveset is Pound (fast) with Hyper Beam (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.
What are Chansey's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Chansey takes super effective damage from Fighting-type moves. It resists Ghost, so avoid those types against it.
What is Chansey's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Chansey reaches 1,418 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 1,255 CP at level 40. Level 50 needs XL Candy, which only unlocks at Trainer Level 31 and comes from catching, hatching, transferring and walking.

A perfect 15/15/15 Chansey shows 717 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 896 CP at level 25 (weather boosted). Seeing that exact number on the catch screen means it is a hundo — favourite it before you transfer anything.

Can Chansey be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Chansey depends on whether Niantic has released the form. Check the events page for Community Days and event weekends, which is when shiny rates are boosted.
