Eggs can be carried by a player, but they take up one space in their battle party, which can be inconvenient.

As far as the best natures for Happiny, Chansey, and Blissey, Modest or Bold will be the way to go. Modest raises special attack and lowers physical attack, giving the Happiny line a chance to dish out major damage. As for the Bold nature, it raises defense and lowers attack. However, since their defense and attack are already so low, it might be better to go withModest nature in this case.
