Blaziken: Swords Dance or Protect (Ultra Sun/ Ultra Moon)?

Hey guys,

This is my first question on this forum and one that I simply can’t answer by myself.I’m breeding a blaziken with speed boost for a doubles tournament in short and want to know what move would be more effective. (Protect or Swords Dance) Here’s some more information:

Blaziken@ Zoom LensEVs: 252 Attack /252 Speed / 4HPNature: Jolly (+Speed, -S.Attack)Ability: Speed BoostMoves:Blaze Kick (STAB, Critical)High Jump Kick (High Power, STAB)Shadow Claw (Coverage, Critical)-Spare-PartnerCharizard@ Charizardite YEVs: 252 S.Attack / 252 Speed / 4 HPNature: TimidAbility: BlazeMoves:Heat WaveSolar BeamDragon PulseDragon Dance

So that’s some more information, if you want, make any other suggestions about my Pokemon and if you think that’d it’d be better to get both Protect and Swords Dance, and I had to get rid of a move, tell me below what it should be.

Thanks

Edit: Thanks for the help guys and where I said flinch I screwed up and meant high critical chance, changed now

Protect, for three reasons:

a) it guaranties your speed to rise one stage from Speed Boost. This can be enough to block and retaliate against a powerful/fast threat, especially if your stalling them (while they’re Poison/Burned/Other).

b) it allows Blaziken to block it’s partner’s moves (like surf and earthquake), which can really grant an edge in the long run (or short).

c) Blaziken’s Attack is already enough to take out a lot of threats. It doesn’t necessarily need swords dance.

Edit: They’re both TM’s, so if one doesn’t work, you can easily try the other

Hope I helped.
