Brock's Blissey (Japanese: タタケシのハピナス Takeshi's Happinas) was the second Pokémon that Brock obtained in the Sinnoh region, and his tenth overall.

History

Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl

Chansey and Brock

In All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!, Brock received Happiny's Egg as a prize for winning the Pokémon Dress-Up Contest, which he entered with his Croagunk dressed up as a Politoed. He was overjoyed to take care of the Egg, as shown in the next episode when he rubbed his cheek against it affectionately.

In One Big Happiny Family!, while traveling on Cycling Road, the Egg began to glow. After taking it to a Pokémon Center and receiving assistance from Nurse Joy, the Egg hatched into Happiny. Soon after birth, she began crying for a stone to hold as a fake Egg. Brock found a white stone and polished it into an Oval Stone for her. Team Rocket snatched Happiny away before he could give the stone to her. Eventually, Happiny was returned to Brock and received her "Egg". Immediately after, she offered it back to Brock as a sign of friendship. He gave it back to her and then caught her in a Poké Ball.

In Tanks for the Memories!, Happiny learned how to use Secret Power in order to save Autumn and Ilta from a group of Beedrill. She also used Secret Power later on in the episode to put Team Rocket to sleep so that Brock and Autumn could get away.

Brock was going to use Happiny in her first battle against Marilyn's Shellder in Battling a Cute Drama!. However, right before the battle started, Team Rocket interrupted and tried to steal Marilyn's other Pokémon. Before they could succeed, Happiny was able to send them flying with her powerful Pound attack.

In The Brockster Is In!, a group of Tentacruel attacked the boat that Ash and his friends were taking back to Twinleaf Town. Their Poison Sting attack caused many of the baby Pokémon to become poisoned. Despite all that Brock and the others were doing to help, they were not getting any better. After seeing this, Happiny evolved into Chansey in order to help the baby Pokémon. After evolving, she was able to heal Pichu and all of the baby Pokémon of the poison with her newly learned Soft-Boiled.

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

Chansey reappeared in JNS02, where she was revealed to have evolved into Blissey. Alongside Croagunk, she assists Brock in his duties as a Doctor.

Personality and characteristics

Like most baby Pokémon, Happiny became very attached to her Trainer very quickly. She would become upset whenever she is taken out of Brock's care, and she refused to cooperate with Team Rocket completely. Unlike Bonsly, however, she did not cry and fuss; she actually fought back against Team Rocket's Pokémon after Brock had been hurt.

Happiny has a cheerful personality, and is playful and energetic. Rather than walking, she is usually held in Brock's arms, much like Misty did with her Togepi. She also is sometimes seen sleeping or playing with Sudowoodo. Sometimes, she was seen riding on Pikachu's back, as seen in A Maze-ing Race! and A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine!.

Happiny's strength

Happiny has extraordinary strength for a baby Pokémon. Examples of this appear in Bibarel Gnaws Best!, where she carried many heavy boulders; and in A Maze-ing Race! and Crossing Paths, where in both she lifted and threw a big boulder. She saved Team Rocket, Dawn, and their Pokémon from falling in Journey to the Unown!, and saved Brock and Autumn from falling off a bridge by hurling them high through the air to the other side of it in Tanks for the Memories!. She was also seen walking in Canalave City while lifting Ash's Grotle—who was tired due to its new form—with one arm in Jumping Rocket Ship!. She was also able to stop Dawn's Piloswine from rampaging in A Breed Stampede! with help of her strength. Later, in Leading a Stray!, when Mamoswine tossed Dawn up into the air, Happiny caught her just in time.

The only times where her strength was not enough were in Leading a Stray!, where she tried to pull off a tight manhole cover, but failed; and in The Psyduck Stops Here!, where she tried lifting a massive boulder, but collapsed under the weight and was knocked out. Any other time, she successfully brought out her special and uncommon power.

Trivia

Happiny and Sudowoodo

• Blissey was first revealed as a Happiny in a Japanese movie poster for The Rise of Darkrai.
• For DP070, Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia is about Brock's Happiny. He writes this senryū about it: 「ピンプクの　おなかのいしは　タケシのおてせい」 "The stone in Pinpuku's belly was handmade by Takeshi."
• As a Happiny, she was the first among the main characters' Pokémon to have been given and kept a held item, in this case, an Oval Stone made by Brock.
• Although Blissey learned Secret Power as Happiny in Tanks for the Memories, she hasn't used the move since that episode.
• Out of all the Pokémon obtained during Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl, Happiny took the longest to evolve, at 152 episodes.
• In the ending theme Let's Join Hands, she appears as Happiny rather than a Chansey. This also occurs with Steelix appearing as an Onix.
• Happiny's enormous strength is ironic, considering Happiny is tied with her evolved form for having the lowest base Attack stats of any Pokémon (at 5).
• Blissey is the only Pokémon Brock used in Sinnoh not to have her Ability confirmed.
