I'm doing a Tag Team of Blissey and Gengar, and I'm rather new to the competetive battling scene...
The stuff in red text is what I'm not sure about, though any other input will be helpful. I will not change things in Blue Text for obvious strategic reasons. (In this case... Coverage of every type)
Blissey
EV Def/HP
Leftovers/King's Rock
Natural Cure/Serene Grace
Bold/Relaxed
*Softboiled
*Sing
*Rock Slide
*Ice Beam
Gengar
EV Spe/SpA
Choice Scarf/Big Root
Levitate
Timid
*Focus Blast
*Dream Eater
*Shadowball/Trick Room
*Thunderbolt

I'm not quite sure what blissey is doing, if I'm honest.
It's too slow to flinch hax, which seems to be the aim.
It can't wall, because walls don't work in doubles.
Rock Slide isn't great coming off of 10 base attack
Jirachi seems to do the job you want, but presuming you couldn't get him, Togekiss.
A small paragraph about what your strategy would be useful, as I can't quite tell what it's supposed to be doing?
-
Gengar needs substitute, and dream eater is useless with out sleep, besides, they switch out anyways. Always use shadow ball. Do not use choice scarf on it, use a Life orb or leftovers.
Blissey should never run any attacking move besides seismic toss. Toxic or thunder wave. Protect or aromatherapy. And Wish. Leftovers, natural care. and he ev spread is: 4hp 252def 252SpD
Also, here's the site that host pokemon showdown, it has the sets and pokemon in each tiers. Good luck:

Blissey can work well with any special move, actually, such as Ice beam and Flamethrower, not just Seismic Toss (which, IMO, is a very poor choice), it's just it's near useless in doubles, where walls don't work
-
Sorry I didn't read this earlier... I was toying around with the team for a while... And now I have something that works-ish.

Well, not many people use Blissey for its SpA. They use it as a cleric, well in singles, which IMO, is better and easier.
-
But flamethrower and ice beam are both better for this role; they have a chance of inflicting status, and flamethrower takes out one of the most common Thunder wave users; Ferrothorn.
-
Well, you usually use unorthodox sets. Plus ST is constant, reliable damage
-
You said yourself; Blissey is a cleric. Not intended to be doing damage, and as Seismic toss has very little damage output, Flamethrower is a very good choice for its SE coverage (Ferrothorn, Scizor, Forretress, Venusaur)
-
ST does 100 a hit, about 1/3 the health of most pokemon.
-
But blissey isn't for doing damage! Ferrothorn, a hazard setter and status spreader is murdered by flamethrower, and would simply leech seed if you run seismic toss.
Anyway, blissey isn't great in doubles full stop, it doesn't have the offense needed
-
I agree with Robin, I followed what Blaziken said... I ran into a Ghost type that sweeped my entire party... I couldn't do anything against it when it narrowed it down to Blissey... By the way... I just pulled off an "Uber-Blissey" Sweep on a Single Battle.
