Is it smart to have Breloom in the same team as Blaziken?

Blaziken and Breloom are both fighting type.Am I still going to be using them against different Pokemon?I know Blaziken is better against, for example, Ice and steel types, while Breloom does better against rock types. Is it worth it then? Or shouldn’t I worry about having the same type twice?Blaziken has a mega, so I’m just worried Breloom won’t be used much.

Both have almost too much in common,

Blaziken and Breloom both have one common goal as physical fighting types: hit hard, and hit fast. For Blaziken with it’s speed and ability, and for Breloom with priority Mach Punch. They both do the same thing, and it’s redundant to have that going. That slot could have been much better utilized. They even share a common Flying weakness, attracting Talonflames from across the globe.People sometimes do run bulky SubSeed Breloom though (personally I still think that’s too frail), and itmighthave some better use with Blaziken.

If you really want to use them together, then you should have good reasons to, otherwise it’s rather pointless. There’s always a better option most of the time.

However, if this is in-game, anything works. It wouldn’t matter how unviable your team might sound in it, people have done it with Grumpigs and Luvdiscs before. Blaziken and Breloom are no exception.

Hope I helped!

Actually, they might work well togetherm ecspecially in mono-type.blaziken needs that helpful speed boost, so breloom can spore and blaziken gets speed boost without harm or protect. Also, they are grass and fire duo, perfect for coverage.Personnally, I say go ahead, except for one problem. blaziken is in ubers and breloom’s in OU, and in ubers, breloom is dead fungus. but, in mono-type it’s awesome, except if blaziken is banned, then to bad.
