Chansey (Japanese: ラッキー Lucky) is a Normal-type Pokémon.
She evolves from Happiny when leveled up holding an Oval Stone during the day, and evolves into Blissey via happiness.
Biology
Physiology
Chansey have pink, egg-shaped bodies. They have hair-like outgrowths on the side of their heads instead of a pigtail she had as a Happiny. Chansey have stubby limbs and has grown a short tail. Chansey's lower body is fully developed and they now have a pouch that holds an egg.
Gender differences
Chansey is a female-only species with no male counterpart.
Special abilities
Chansey, and her evolved form, Blissey, are the only known Pokémon that can naturally learn Softboiled. However, Mew could learn it from a TM in Generation I, while members of the Clefairy and Togepi families can be tutored the move in Generation III.
Behavior
Extremely rare in the wild, Chansey is said to bring happiness to those who are lucky enough to capture it. Chansey lays a new egg every day. The egg is extremely nutritious and tasty. A kind-hearted and charitable Pokémon, Chansey will share its eggs with injured Pokémon it may come across. However it will not share its egg with anyone who has evil in their heart.
Chansey walks carefully to protect its egg from damage but can be startlingly fast when it must run from danger.

Trivia
- Chansey originally was given her Japanese name, Lucky, as her English beta name.
- Chansey has the second-highest base HP of all Pokémon. The highest is Chansey's evolution, Blissey.
- Both of them however, have the lowest base stat for both Attack and Defense in the games.
- Chansey has the highest base experience yield of all Pokémon, tied with its family Happiny, Blissey, and Arceus. That means a Chansey would yield 13,933 experience points when defeated if it is at level 100 and belongs to a Trainer.
- Chansey is one of five Pokémon that initially did not evolve into or from another Pokémon, but now is part of a three-stage evolutionary line (the other four being Electabuzz, Magmar, Porygon and Roselia). Interestingly, while Electabuzz and Magmar gained a pre-evolution in Generation II and an evolution in Generation IV, Chansey did exactly the reverse in both generations.
- Chansey, and her evolution family, Blissey and Happiny, have the most in-game items associated with them. This includes: Lucky Punch, Lucky Egg, Luck Incense, and the Oval Stone.
- Chansey shares the same species name with Exeggcute. They are both known as the Egg Pokémon.
- Golbat and Chansey are the only Pokémon that evolve by happiness that are already evolved.
- Chansey and the other members of her evolution family share the same abilities as both forms of Shaymin.
- In Generation II and beyond, when breeding was introduced, Chansey hatch from an egg with an egg already in their pouch. The same oddity occurs with Kangaskhan, which hatch with a baby in their pouches, and Happiny, which hatch with a rock in their pouches.
- Its Platinum Pokédex entry states that it lays eggs, confirming that Pokémon are able to do so (as it has been mentioned that nobody has seen Pokémon lay eggs); however, these eggs are apparently not Happiny eggs, but eggs that are high in nutrition instead. Theoretically, these eggs could possibly be undeveloped Happiny eggs.
Origin
Her tendency to carry eggs in a pouch is very monotreme- or marsupial-like. She may also just be based on a general concept of females and motherhood.
Name origin
Chansey's name is a corruption of chance; like her Japanese name, Lucky, it seems to refer to Chansey's rarity.
In other languages
- German: Chaneira
- French: Leveinard - From Le veinard ("The lucky one").
- Korean: 럭키 Rakki - Transliteration of the English word Lucky.
