It might seem counter-intuitive to use a mon traditionally thought of as being walled by Gengar as a Gengar counter, but this does just that. The traditional Gengar lacks any way of hurting this set aside from a one-for-one trade (the best you can do versus any Gengar, unless you have Sand or something to wear it down). Meanwhile, it slowly faints to your attacking move, which is either Flamethrower or Ice Beam depending on your team's needs. Shed Shell is chosen over the perhaps more conventional Leftovers so as to escape from surprise Perish Trapping variants of Gengar and make them lose HP. This set is very effective versus teams that depend on Mega Gengar to break through stall. EVs and moveset are standard. While Blissey might be a little pressed to find a solid niche outside of this, it's able to perform healing duties on and/or check Darkrai, Calm Mind Arceus, and some Primal Kyogres and therefore can find a place on stall.
