Chansey’s tendency to carry eggs in a pouch is much like a monotreme or marsupial, but may also simply be based on a general concept of females and motherhood. As the Pokédex mentions its frequent laying of nutritious eggs, Chansey may also be based on chickens or other poultry.
Chansey is a corruption of chance and chancy. It may refer to Chansey’s rarity and/or the chance of a successful catch.
Lucky is literally lucky, for the same possible reason.

It is a female-only species with no male counterpart.
Chansey lays several nutritious eggs every day, which it carefully carries in its pouch. A kindhearted Pokémon, it will share these eggs with injured people and Pokémon. The eggs become more delicious if Chansey is raised with love and care. Chansey is extremely rare in the wild, and is said to bring good luck and happiness to those who manage to catch it.
