Strategy Overview

Blaziken is a threat to many teams due the diverse ways in which it can sweep. Fire is an excellent attacking type against physical walls, while Fighting hits all common special walls super effectively, and Blaziken has the stats to go either route. However, Blaziken is hampered by its defensively poor typing, which grants it weaknesses to Surf, Earthquake, Hidden Power Flying, and Psychic, four of the most common and dangerous moves around. On the other hand, its 4x Bug resistance is incredibly handy. Blaziken has slightly above average Speed, but due to its need to split offensive EVs, it is slower than most Pokemon that invest in Speed.
