    Fake Tears does have use, it can cause another switch if they?re afraid they now can not take an Ice Beam/Psychic, plus that extra turn you get to do more special damage can be a plus. Calm Mind does work though, just watch out for steel.

    1 fake tear would half their spD, while 1 calm mind boosts your spA by 50%. Calm mind's use is in the long run, with Jynx as your sweeper. If Jynx isn't planned as a pokemon to last more than say 2 turns, then Fake Tears could be better in this case, although if they switch out you're screwed over, and you don't even have the added bonus in this case.

    Although since they'd be switching to blissey it wouldn't really matter. Either way you'd do no damage =[

    at least facing a blissey with 170 sp.def is a lot better than a blissey with 340 sp.def, and still got that crazy 700 HP...

    For some reason, I'm more fond of HP Fire over psychic in thise case... yes you lose STAB, but now you can actually hit those common Meta now, which is a good sacrifice I am personally willing to make.
