Protectis a speed boost.Swords Dancebrings up Atk to insane levels if your opponent can’t take him down fast enough.High Jump Kick / Baton Passwill give STAB, or a +6 Spe / Atk ExtremeKiller.ShuddersStone Edge / Brave Bird / Shadow Clawall provide coverage, go BB if you use Baton Pass.

Here is my personal Blaziken Set, I also made it interactive.Blaziken@Life OrbAbility:Speed BoostEVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpeAdamantNature

Life Orb- To utilize Blaziken’s good Attack stat.Adamant Nature- We could go for speed with Jolly, but this set is for OHKO’s.Blaze Kick- This is a solid and reliable STAB move, no drawbacks like recoil or stat lowering.Close Combat- The goal with this move is OHKO, otherwise you get hit and you’re screwed.Protect- Use this move first to let Speed Boost do its thing.Thunder Punch- For coverage against Water and Flying types, don’t use this unless of an emergency (e.g. Blaziken is your last Pokemon left to fight against a Water or Flying) or you are positive you can OHKO.

Blaziken (F) @ Life OrbAbility: Speed BoostEVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpeAdamant Nature

Protect is used to get the Speed Boost, reliably.Swords Dance can be used to set up, but it needs a pretty good chance to do it.Hi Jump Kick is good STAB move.Flare Blitz can be paired with Groudon for very good power and is STAB. Shadow Claw is used to get perfect neutral coverage alongside Hi Jump Kick while also hurting Giratina, Flare Blitz is usually the better option though.

Why no one mentioned the counter Blaziken?

Blaziken@ Focus SashAbility: Speed BoostEVs:252 Atk / 252 SpeAdamant Nature / Jolly Nature

Strategy: Well, due to Blaziken’s small defenses, he’ll survive the first hit hanging on his Focus Sash. Generally with 80 Speed it attacks 2nd, so it will unleash a powerful Counter. Speed Boost raises his Speed, so on the next turn he’ll be faster than the opponent Pokemon and re-use Counter and faint it. Protect is here if the opponent throws out a Pokemon which has much higher speed than Blaziken, like Deoxys etc. It will survive this turn, raise its Speed and at the next turn where he is faster, he will attack. Blaze Kick is here for another STAB and Shadow Claw / Night Slash for coverage.

Combusken(M) @ Focus SashAbility: Speed BoostEVs: 252 Atk / 252 SpA / 4 SpeNaive Nature

Standard set for NU - RU, not MC.

Protect gets this guy’s speed up a notch, and he still has his Focus Sash to fall back on, although I would consider him to be a better lead-killer.Overheat knocks out a lot of opponents for the OHKO there, not a lot in the lower tiers that can take it neutral. Brick Break takes down dual screeners and such, with some nice Physical Fighting type STAB might I add. And Shadow Claw makes for some neat coverage, mostly for taking out Psychics, and Ghosts after 1 Overheat.

Blaziken@ Focus SashAbility: Speed BoostEVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 HPAdamant Nature

Blazikenholding aFocus Sashallows him to get offHone Clawsand a Speed Boost. With Blaziken getting thisHone Clawsboost he raises his Attack and his accuracy, making High Jump Kick/Stone Edge/Blaze Kick hit every time. With this boost,High Jump Kickis the obvious choice over Sky Uppercut because of the raw power.Blaze Kickis for STAB and beats Fire Punch because of the power and the new accuracy, and it has that nice higher chance of a critical hit. Now the final choice really depends on your preference.Earthquakeis powerful and has good coverage, but cannot hit Flying types or Pokemon with Levitate.Stone Edgeis also powerful and has good coverage, plus it can hit those pesky Flying types. NowPoison Jabseems weird, but with this new generation (Gen 6), the introduction of Fairy types may pose a problem for your team. This move helps cover those Fairy types which would normally kill your Dragon/Fighting/Dark types.

F for this fallen titan

Blaziken @ Life OrbAbility: Speed BoostAdamant / Jolly NatureEVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 HP

Flare Blitz is powerful STAB. Close Combat is a new addition from Sword and Shield that is more reliable thab High Jump Kick and stronger than Sky Uppercut. U-Turn is a great move overall. Earthquake, Stone Edge, or Brave Bird are coverage.

Speed tiers aren’t the same anymore, with Dragapult, Zeraora, and others, who outspeed it after a boost. Blaziken struggles setting up Swords Dance, and it also struggles breaking past defensive teams.

Weakness Policy Blaziken?

Blaziken @ Weakness PolicyAbility: Speed BoostJolly NatureEVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 6 HP-Endure-Reversal-Blaze Kick / Fire Punch-Rock Slide / Stone Edge

Just stay away from Pokemon with priority moves.

This is a doubles set

Blaziken @ LeftoversAbility: Speed BoostEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeAdamant Nature- Swords Dance- Blaze Kick- Brick Break / High Jump Kick / Close Combat- Protect / Thunder Punch

This moveset is going to synergize well with a sun setter, basically when the sun setter sets up a sun, you can use swords dance to boost attack, water type moves will not do much damage because of the sun, and then use protect to get 2x speed, then you just sweep. It is your choice is you want to play it risky with Close combat/High jump kick, or play it safe with brick break, I recommend thunder punch over protect because it covers flying and water types but protect also works well.

Blaziken @ Focus SashAbility: Speed BoostTera Type: FightingEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 SpeHasty NatureIVs: 0 Def / 0 SpD / 0 HP- Protect- Swords Dance- Reversal- Shadow Claw

This my set for reversal abuse. You use protect to get speed boosts and swords dance the turn you get taken down to your sash. fighting tera is to give reversal more power. shadow claw is ghost type cover just in case there’s a ghost type which blocks reversal. The ivs are optional, but better for getting blaziken down to its sash. A good teammate would be a psychic terrain setter, which blocks priority. E.g. tapu lele:

Tapu Lele @ Terrain ExtenderAbility: Psychic SurgeTera Type: PsychicEVs: 252 Def / 4 SpA / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Aromatherapy- Moonblast- Psychic- SafeguardThis serves as a status clearer as well as a safeguard setter to prevent toxic on blaziken.

Torchic @ Focus SashAbility: Speed BoostEVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpeModest Nature- Fire Blast- Protect- Baton Pass- Counter

Protect stacks up your Speed Boost. Fire Blast with maxed Special Attack and STAB does high damage. Counter works wonders with Focus Sash, then Baton Pass that stacked Speed.

I’ve used this even on legendaries and evolved Pokemon, He can take at least 2 Pokemon out, and if at a type advantage, even more and also serves as a great ally with Baton Pass.

This is the best moveset ever:Blaziken (M) @ Weakness PolicyAbility: Speed BoostShiny: YesEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeAdamant Nature- High Jump Kick- Fire Punch- Endure- Knock OffEndure at first and hope for a super effective move to hit you. At the end of the turn, you will have your Speed raised, and probably your Attack and Special Attack raised sharply. The only weaknesses for this set are priority moves.

Second set:Blaziken (M) @ Weakness PolicyAbility: Speed BoostShiny: YesEVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Bulk Up- High Jump Kick- Fire Punch- Poison JabBulk Up first turn so you’ll have 3 stats raised, Poison Jab is for Mega Altaria.

Blaziken @ Blazikenite / Life OrbAbility: Speed BoostEVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpeAdamant Nature- Blaze Kick- Brave Bird- Brick Break- Shadow Claw

Blaze Kick- Blaziken’s signature move + STAB. good power +Blazikenite :PBrave bird- no STAB, but a high base power + stat boosts of Blazikenite once again..Brick Break- Stab, I choose this over High Jump Kick because it will break barriers and High Jump Kick doesn’t have good accuracy. +blazikenite LOLShadow Claw- coverage for Psychic types, those are common so this will be quite handy. +blazikenite..

I didn’t add Protect because if the other team is setting up and you Mega Evolve you get a speed boost I believe so then you can start your rampage. Also on 1st turn you get speed boost too.

Here is a nifty set that throws people off guard and once you do that setup and sweep in Ubers! What’s so nifty about him is that he can destroy nearly all walls in Ubers with just 1 turn! So here it is.

Blaziken @ BlazikeniteAbility: BlazeEVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 HPJolly / Adamant NatureIVs: 0 SpA-Swords Dance-Brick Break-Fire Punch / Flare Blitz-Dual Chop

This set uses Brick Break and Fire Punch to play it safe so that he gets to fight Giratina and slay him! Hope I helped :)

Blaziken @ Expert BeltAbility: Speed BoostEVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 HPNaive Nature- Bulk Up- Flare Blitz / Blaze Kick- Thunder Punch- High Jump Kick

ITS RISKY BUT WORTH IT!!!

Well this is just the setup that I run.

Blaziken @ BlazikeniteAbility: Speed BoostEVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Flame Charge- Solar Beam- Sunny Day- Sky Uppercut

Blaziken @ BlazikeniteAbility: Speed BoostEVs: 252 Atk / 252 SpeAdamant Nature- Flare Blitz / Fire Punch- Baton Pass- Thunder Punch / Night Slash- High Jump Kick

Flare Blitz and High Jump Kick are powerful STAB moves, although Flare Blitz causes recoil (as does High Jump Kick if it misses). A safer alternative to Flare Blitz would be Fire Punch, but Mega Blaziken is all about outspeeding its opponent and dealing massive damage. Thunder Punch offers coverage against Water- and Flying types, and Night Slash is for Psychic-types. Baton Pass allows Mega Blaziken to switch out, passing the increases in its Speed (because of its ability, Speed Boost) onto whoever replaces it.

This is a fun and strange set:
