Most Improved Pokemon (MIP)

Blaziken Takes the MIP!

Blaziken is Season 14's MIP! The Pokemon fell short in terms of its impact in the game despite having great potential when it was released. Its damage output was just too weak to compensate for its high skill requirement, leaving the Pokemon unplayable. However, the buffs it received in the 1.12.1.4 Update gave the Pokemon exactly what it needed to make up for the skill requirement. Although the update happened near the end of the season, its significance for Blaziken is definitely worth mentioning.

Game8 chose Zacian as Season 14's best All-Rounder. Zacian slowly made its way to the top of the meta again after falling off hard due to the nerfs it received in the 1.10.1.3 Update.

Best Newcomer: Blaziken

Game8 chose Blaziken as Season 14's best Newcomer. Blaziken was one of the most requested and anticipated Pokemon in the game.
