![]() However, its defensive stats hinder its performance significantly. Let’s get this straight, Blaziken does have the highest fire-type DPS in the game as of now. These are the main reasons why the difference in TDO is that big, if you were wondering. Furthermore, Blaziken is a glass cannon due to its average defensive stats. It’s also important to mention that against Grass-type Pokémon with STAB moves, Moltres and Charizard have a better type combination than Blaziken because they are flying-types and double resist Grass-type moves. That’s why Shaymin-Land was chosen, although it will probably not come as a raid boss due to the fact that it’s a mythical Pokémon.Īs you can see, against Grass-type Pokémon Sky Attack Moltres performs really well. There are not many grass-type raid bosses to provide a fair scenario, and most of them have a 2nd typing. Thus, you’d expect to see strong raid attackers with powerful moves from those types in most raids against grass-type raid bosses. Grass-types are weak to Flying, Poison, Bug, Ice, and Fire-type attacks. Since the main goal of the following comparisons is to showcase how Blaziken compares to other Fire-type Pokémon, non-fire-type Pokémon will not be shown unless their performance is close to (or above) Moltres’ or Blaziken’s. The best way to analyze where it stands in the meta is by running some battle simulations (as always, using Pokebattler), so let’s see how it performs. However, its defensive stats are not that great. Blaziken in the Raid Metaīlast Burn Blaziken has the highest fire-type DPS in the game as of now. If you already have a Blaziken that will never be able to learn Blast Burn, definitely give it Blaze Kick, you won’t regret it!Īs a fighting-type attacker, it’s pretty decent, but there are better options, such as Machamp or Breloom. It’s up to you to decide if it’s worth the extra 10k Stardust to unlock. Blaze Kick is a great charge move, true, but you will probably use it only when you’re about to faint, and you don’t have enough energy to use Blast Burn, which is a superior move. Unlocking a 2nd Charge Move for Blaziken “only” costs 10k Stardust, but it’s not really necessary. Against grass & bug types, Counter is not super effective, and the only viable option would be to use Fire Spin. If you don’t want to use Fast TMs constantly, you could also just use Fire Spin. Stone Edge: It became a legacy move the second day Blaziken was released, but it’s just a collector’s piece that adds type coverage.Īgainst ice and Steel-types, Counter is slightly better than Fire Spin.Combining it with Blaze Kick, it could also be a viable option if you don’t mind spending some stardust. Blast Burn: Blaziken’s Exclusive CD move, and it’s amazing too! Stats-wise, Blast Burn is the best charge move Blaziken can learn.The move is pretty good by itself, and although it’s still below Blast Burn’s performance, it can be used right before fainting if you don’t have enough energy to use Blast Burn. Its base damage might seem low, but its low energy requirement and crazy fast cooldown will make it a very energy-efficient charge move. Blaze Kick: Very Good charge move for PvE (and decent for PvP).Decent if you want to use it as a fighting-type attacker, but there are better options such as Dynamic Punch Machamp. Focus Blast: Blaziken’s only fighting-type charge move.Brave Bird: Coverage move, not the best of its type.It’s worse than Blast Burn and Blaze Kick, though. Slightly worse than Counter, but it can be used against grass, bug, ice and steel types. Slightly better than Fire Spin against ice and steel types. Counter: Great fast move for both PvE and PvP.Let’s analyze each move individually and decide which moveset to use for each purpose in the end. ![]() Blaziken can have Counter and Fire Spin as fast moves, and Overheat, Brave Bird, Focus Blast, Blaze Kick, Blast Burn (CD exclusive move) and Stone Edge (legacy move) as charge moves. Since Blaziken’s best charge moves are Blast Burn and Blaze Kick, it will perform as a top-tier attacker against grass, bug, ice and steel types, and against ice and steel specifically we will analyze whether using Counter instead of Fire Spin is a better option, as both types are weak to both fire and fighting type moves.īlaziken’s movepool is quite large. As you can see, both types deal super effective damage against ice and steel types.
