Blaziken

Blaziken is an incredibly versatile sweeper. Its access to Speed Boost allows Blaziken to easily snowball during late-game, threatening to outspeed and KO opposing Pokemon. This is made easier with its good Fire/Fighting-typing, making quick work of Pokemon such as Aegislash, Mamoswine, Ferrothorn, and Mega Mawile. Furthermore, its movepool allows it to act as a mixed attacker, capable of luring in Pokemon such as Mega Salamence or Landorus-T before KOing them with Hidden Power Ice, or being able to Baton Pass stat boosts onto one of its teammates. Finally, Blaziken has a strong Mega Evolution that allows it to outspeed key threats after one Speed Boost, such as Choice Scarf Tapu Lele.

While it may reach an impressive Speed after a few boosts, its base stat is rather disappointing without Mega Evolving, leaving it outsped by most Choice Scarf users and fast Pokemon such as Tapu Koko and Pheromosa at +1 if running a neutral nature. It is also frail, leaving it vulnerable to powerful priority moves, primarily Aqua Jet and boosted Extreme Speed. Even with its immense power, it struggles to break through particularly bulky Pokemon, most notably being Zapdos, Suicune, Cresselia, and Hippowdon, all of which can tank any unboosted move Blaziken throws at it while they threaten to KO it with their super effective STAB moves. Despite these flaws, Blaziken is an incredible attacker that can perform wonders when given the opportunity.

Below are some sample sets. These sets are likely to be standard, but they will be expanded upon and updated as the metagame progresses.
