Guaranteed to get one Speed Boost proc with Protect. Can use Swords Dance against more passive Pokemon. Outspeeds most non-Speed boosted Pokemon after one Speed Boost. |
Ability | Held Item | |
---|---|---|
Speed Boost | Life Orb |
The Ability chosen for this build is Speed Boost. This boosts Blaziken's Speed stat by one stage at the end of every turn making it a very fast and threatening attacker if left unchecked.
The item chosen for this build is a Life Orb. This helps maximize Blaziken's damage output without it having to lock into using one move repeatedly.
Flare Blitz | Close Combat |
Swords Dance | Protect |
Flare Blitz and Close Combat are Blaziken's strongest STAB attacks. With Speed Boost, Blaziken would only have to worry about getting hit by priority attacks before it can get another attack off.
Swords Dance boosts Blaziken's Attack stat by two stages when used. This should be used to punish more passive leads to get more stat boosts off, increasing Blaziken's offensive pressure.
Protect is used to guarantee that Blaziken gets a Speed Boost proc off at the end of the turn.

Damaged Normally By: |
(1x) | |
Resists: | (0.5x) | |
(0.25x) |
Stellar is the best Tera Type for this build because it will increase the damage of Blaziken's STAB moves without having to commit to a single Tera Type.
Note that even if it's a Stellar Type, it will keep the defensive properties of its Fire/Fighting typing.
Alternatively, Blaziken can use a Water Tera to help it survive hits from super-effective hits. This build however focuses on maximizing Blaziken's damage output so a more offensive Tera Type is still recommended over Water.
A full 252 EVs are placed in Blaziken's Attack and Speed to make it hit as hard and fast as possible. The extra 4 EVs are placed in its HP to help round out its bulk.
A Jolly nature is preferred to help Blaziken outspeed as many Pokemon as possible, especially after it gets its Speed Boosts.
Speed Boosts | Blaziken's Speed Stat | Notable Pokemon That Blaziken Outspeeds |
---|---|---|
0 | Speed: 145 |
Speed: 143 |
+1 | Speed: 217 |
Speed: 205 |
+2 | Speed: 290 |
Speed: 244 |
+3 | Speed: 362 |
Speed: 319 |
+4 | Speed: 435 |
Speed: 415 |
These stats assume that every Pokemon has 252 EVs in Speed and a Speed-boosting nature like Jolly or Timid.
Thunder Punch | Helps Blaziken deal with Flying and Water-type matchups. |

Baton Pass | Used to pass Speed Boost and Swords Dance boosts to a teammate. |

Game8's Competitive Damage Calculator
Blaziken is very frail, but it can get uncontested knockouts thanks to Speed Boost helping it outspeed Pokemon that are normally faster than it.
Try to preserve Blaziken and avoid getting it knocked out so that you have a fast and threatening attacker on the field that your opponent will have trouble switching into.
Use Blaziken on hyper-offence teams to get quick knockouts so that you will always have at least a one Pokemon advantage over your opponent.
Offensive Lead | Special Attacker | Physical Attacker |
---|---|---|
Blaziken | Flutter Mane | Chien-Pao |
These three Pokemon can easily click their STAB attacks and KO any Pokemon that your opponent brings out.
Be careful since this is a very feast or famine playstyle where you can very easily win, but could also very easily lose if your opponent brings the right Pokemon to counter your strategy.
Pokemon | Description |
---|---|
Urshifu Rapid-Strike Style | Ranking: ★★★★★
・Blaziken can't use Protect to get a Speed Boost proc because of Unseen Fist. ・Surging Strikes can still get an OHKO if Blaziken's Tera is neutral, and Close Combat can deal with Teras that resist it. ▶️ Urshifu Rapid Strike Best Movesets |
Dondozo | Ranking: ★★★★
・Unaware ignores any of Blaziken's stat boosts. ・Forces Blaziken to defensively Terastallize, or it will get OHKO'd by Wave Crash. ▶️ Dondozo Best Movesets |
Ceruledge | Ranking: ★★★★
・Flash Fire + Ghost make it immune to both of Blaziken's STABs. ・Poltergeist OHKOs Blaziken with max Attack and one Bulk Up. ▶️ Ceruledge Best Movesets |
