Blaziken

Todays Pokemon of the day is Blaziken

Blaziken is probably the best wall breaker in the UU tier because it can work well a a mixed sweeper, the only let down of Blaziken is its speed, at a low 80 base power.

Scarfed Mixed Sweeper

Blaziken@Choice Scarf

Naive/Hasty Nature

Evs:188 Speed, 160 Attack, 160 Sp. Attack

Fire Blast

Focus Blast/Brick Break

Brave Bird/Hidden Power Flying

Thunder Punch

--------------------------

Fire Blast~ STAB Sp. attacking move, can be replaced by Flamethrower if you want more accuracy

Focus Blast~STAB, you can also use Brick Break if you want more accuracy, and to break light screens and reflects

Brave Bird~Physical flying move, Replace with Hp Flying if you go for brick break over Focus Blast

Thunder Punch~For Flying Types

Evs:188 evs in speed + a choice scarf gets you to 329 speed, putting you one point ahead of base 100 speed pokemon.

These Evs leave you with 320, enough so that you can have equal evs in attack and special attack.

Physical Sweeper

Blaziken@Muscle Band

Jolly Nature

Evs:252 Spe, 252 Attack, 4 Hp

Brick Break

Thunder Punch

Flare Blitz

Brave Bird

---------------------

a max speed of 259 isn't much, it's less than Plusle, Minun, Pikachu and a whole lot of NFE's so don't expect to strike first to much on this set.

Brick Break~STAB fighting move, you can replace this with superpower if you don't mind the stat drop

Thunder Punch~ For Flying types and water types

Flare Blitz~STAB Fire. you can replace this with fire punch if you don't want to lose Hp and don't mind the small base power of 75

Brave Bird~Flying Move.

----------------------------------

Counters~ Most Psychic, Water and Flying types can do the Job fairly easily with the exception of farfetch'd and Luvdisc, Pelipper is an extremely good counter.

I will post a special set up soon, bare with me.
