[@bajanyaoikaizer6902]

They knew what they were doing when they made Blaziken. Relatively balanced stats with good attack and special attack. A whole bunch of fire moves, Bulk Up, Sky Uppercut, Focus Energy, Rock Slide, Slash, Body Slam, Swords Dance, Thunder Punch, Brick Break, Earthquake, and Aerial Ace. And it only got better as time went on.

[@jimothycool]

It's a great Pokemon design all around.

[@ultimaterecoil1136]

Not really. You don’t wanna be mixed you don’t wanna have to split your evs and having two types using different stats kinda forces that onto blaziken. Blaziken either has to massively sacrifice it’s already questionable speed or just not invest in the other offense if it runs mixed both not necessarily good for it. Without significant special investment you can’t ko skarmory nor have a chance to ohko with thunder punch gyrados which is a very common switch in if running thunder punch. Swampert gets defensive value out of its type combo even if it makes offense awkward but fire fighting isn’t really a defensive god of a typing. Blaziken is a mon which you are always wishing you had something else in its toolkit no matter what set you are running. Blaziken can’t really stay on the field because of its low speed and bulk so it needs those hits where it’s punishing a switch in because the opponent is switching out their slow bulky mons into something that can outspeed and threaten it to matter a lot so not reaching those ko benchmarks is a very big deal. Lowering its speed however lowers the amount of opportunities it has to threaten something out/ ko the opponent so maxing out both offensive stats isn’t exactly ideal either ( but I would say it’s the better option since the opponent doesn’t know you didn’t invest in speed and may still act as such until the damage you do reveals it)

[@yonkodude]

⁠@@ultimaterecoil1136thats not always the case you can run a speedy blaziken with max attack to ruin things like ttar blissey and even uninvested fire blast will ko skarmory and hp grass after chip damage from a physical move most of the time kos swampert, not to mention that its speed tier is perfect for its role as a wall breaker on both sides of the spectrum as the only pokemon to rlly outspeed it are pokemon it doesnt have good match ups against anyway like aero and jirachi. Mixed attackers aren’t inherently good as they do lose power for flexibility but well made ones like blaziken salamance and especially iron valiant prove that sometimes the ability to break through both physical and special walls is invaluable to a team

[@ultimaterecoil1136]

@@yonkodude for one you liar 0 SpA Blaziken Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Skarmory: 255-300 (76.3 - 89.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery you need investment to ohko skarormy and that’s assuming you further tank either your speed or bulk by not running a adamant nature like a physical attacker typically would ( which is 0 SpA Blaziken Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Skarmory: 255-300 (76.3 - 89.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery If curious). On a related note its speed tier isn’t really consistent for handling walls. The magneton lure sets will outspeed blaziken if you choose to go max offensive investment to make sure you hit all the ko benchmarks you need which on the rare occasion they run drill peck you could unfortunately have this happen 252 Atk Skarmory Drill Peck vs. 80 HP / 0- Def Blaziken: 285-336 (88.7 - 104.6%) -- 31.3% chance to OHKO. As someone whose actually used blaziken in the past and had the unfortunate luck of getting my wallbreaker ohkoed by a perceived wall If you go full offensive investment to maximize breaking power go minus special defense nature not minus not defense. It shouldn’t matter in 99% of interactions but it might save you exactly once. Even if they aren’t running drill peck you can die to hp ground crit so you can’t exactly be 100% certain you are safe vs skarmory without both speed and special attack investment and that’s one Of the most important matchups for a fire type even having the potential to lose that matchup one vs one makes your value on the special end dubious. Assuming you are gonna settle for not running special investment you would be much better off with camerupt for its increased longevity and explosion if you really wanted a mixed attacker fire. It’s better to have the bulk Camerupt has if blaziken is sometimes outspeed by the walls it’s supposed to break anyway making the value of its extra speed dubious at times.

[@Luzbel809]

They designed it in a way that a child can't actually train it that bad with the wrong Ev's.

[@shevankaseneviratne1724]

I love blaziken! But there was once a guy in the ladder chatroom , who was soooo adamant that blaziken was the best gen3 mon and argued incessantly with everyone by saying we were too bad at the game to use blaziken effectively. To the point where he single handedly triggered the mods to start a gen3 tournament to see if he could back up his bragging with actual wins. He was knocked out in his first game against TSS :)

[@CoralReaper707]

Man, seeing gen 3 makes me appreciate how fighting types in that gen had to rely on some average base power and/or riskier fighting moves. That's honestly a lot more interesting that just virtually every fighting type getting close combat.

[@Ruben-sw1tk]

The thing I like the most about pokemon made in the third generation (it can also can be applied to gen 4), is how a lot of them were made with flaws and strenghts in mind. And also, a lot of them with different niches in mind. While Heracross was made as a strong guts /swarm attacker, or Breloom as a Spore user that can also diche out strong hits (while being balanced in gen 3 due to grass being special), Blaziken has his amazing movepool and offensive stats cut short by its speed. And I love that about it. The reason ADV OU is starting to be, by far, my favourite OU tier, is how every pokemon has its flaws. And so, a lot of niche Pokémon can be used in the tier. The power level is not that high, but at the same time defensive pokémon can be countered with good plays. It's really cool

[@Zmeeed01]

True. The lack of OP defensive abilities (Regenerator, Magic Bounce, etc.) and the only good offensive items available being Choice Band and pinch berries somehow balance each other out perfectly, making mixed attackers and good prediction more important in general. Also, I really like Focus Punch being a meta move in Gen 3. It's a very respectable "big balls" move.

[@LawsofPaul]

I love how the Torchic>Blaziken line was designed. The designer said they tried to mimic his experience as a child of getting a cute baby chick as a pet and being disappointed by it growing up to be an ugly chicken.

This video reminded me of good memories I had back in the late gen 3/gen 4 days. I loved Blaziken and when I learned about EVs and other caspects of breeding for competitive pokemon, I spent a good several days breeding and training Torchics specifically to make a mixed sweeping Blaziken with no knowledge of how to get good IVs other than feeding them rare candies and comparing stats. I even took the time to get a Torchic to level 42 to learn Flamethrower to pass down. A friend of mine had a lot of pride in his Level 86 Suicune, but didn't know or want to understand anything about EVs or natures, and wanted to fight my team of mostly competitively bred pokemon at the time. My Blaziken was at level 70, but it very quickly swept his entire team, including defeating the Suicune in 2 hits. The guy ragequit as soon as it fell.

Another fun thing about Blaziken is that it isn't 2HKOd by Adamant Choice Band Heracross' Megahorn, even with a Mild or Hasty Nature, thanks to its typing (which is unique in the meta). On the offensive side, Rock Slide is another option to hit Moltres and Charizard harder, but is usually outclassed by Hidden Power and Thunderpunch.

@@ThatGuyThai typhlosion's functionally outclassed in RSE by Charizard, which is immune to Spikes and has the same movepool besides Thunderpunch. IMO the way to make the most out of Typhlosion would be stacking it with Charizard/Blaziken to crush SkarmBliss balance

[@ThatGuyThai]

@@johnbanks1069 somewhat disagree. Typhlosion being able to 1v1 Gengar, Zapdos and Jolteon are very welcomed advantages to using him over Charizard or Moltres on a team that features other flyers. I do agree that he's essentially Charizard, but he's really an alternate form of Charizard who shed its added weaknesses from not being airborne. Spikes damage is actually appreciated on a Swarm / Blaze / Torrent / Overgrow mon because it can be used to get into range. The bigger threat is Dugtrio, but the common scenario is you switch your fire type in on something it threatens. You sub when they run, and in comes Duggie. Typhlosion actually works really well to bait Dug out and kill or force it to leave so that other mons can enjoy him being gone.
