Overheat Effect

Has the user start charging power in place. If this move is used again after the user has started charging, the user unleashes a flaming kick in the designated direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon it hits. The longer power is charged, the more damage this move deals. If the user charges a set amount of power or more, this move also shoves opposing Pokemon it hits.

How to Use Overheat

Release Once the Gauge Lights Up

Overheat will only deal maximum damage if the gauge is filled up. However, the gauge only needs to be filled at least half way to maximize damage. The best indicator that Overheat is fully charge and will deal maximum damage is when the gauge lights up or glows.

Setup With Blaze Kick

As much as possible, use Blaze Kick to set up Overheat. Since Overheat is a channeling move and requires proper positioning, using Blaze Kick to setup the move is the most effective way to ensure correct execution. The slow or stun effect from Blaze Kick gives ample time for Overheat to charge up and deal maximum damage.

Use Eject Button to Reposition and Face Another Direction

Another trick to setup Overheat is by using Eject Button to teleport to another position and face a different angle while charging the move, then releasing it upon arrival.

This is extremely difficult to pull off properly and requires some time to get right. It's best to practice first before performing it in a real game.

Utilize the Unstoppable Status Effect

Blaziken becomes unstoppable while channeling Overheat, which can be utilized in certain situations. One way to take advantage of this effect is to channel Overheat when targeted by a disabling move, then ending it afterwards. However, this does require fast reflexes and timing to pull off correctly.
