[@the_bookworm8281]

Something I find very fascinating about Blaziken in Sword/Shield is its history in Nat Dex OU. It was initially in the Ubers tier by default. However with how Blaziken not being Ubers in SS OU when the Crown Tundra came out (with it to this day being UUBL), players in the Nat Dex tier though about testing Blaziken to Nat Dex OU. Initially, players thought this was a waste of time, and that the mon was easily going to be broken with the buffs it got in gen 8 combined with Z-moves, which is cited as the primary reason why it was broken in gen 7. However after testing, turns out that not only it was not overwhelming for the tier, it was straight up pretty mediocre in Nat Dex OU, so much so that it dropped to UUBL and ended up getting ranked in C tier in the VR to this day. It was so underwhelming that MEGA Blaziken ended up later on getting tested for Nat Dex OU, and it was ALMOST not too overwhelming for the tier (still is overall at the end of the day). It is crazy to see how much differences in metagame and surroundings can drastically change the viability of the Pokemon.

[@i_like_chomp6382]

Mega Blaziken is so much better than Regular for so many reasons. It doesn't need to run life orb for damage meaning it has more longevity and has a much greater speed tier at +1

[@Waiter1986]

@@i_like_chomp6382 call me crazy but i could’ve sworn i heard somewhere that blaziken was better than mega? could’ve sworn that it was bc life orb dmg output was slightly better than mega’s, and longevity on both is so tiny that the recoil didn’t even matter. furthermore, regular blaz could run z-moves and break past walls like tapu fini, where mega-blaz couldn’t

[@AP4pro]

@Waiter1986 yea that is the main reason why people used it with life orb,but in nat dex blaziken Its in ru and mega blaziken is ubers,that is a huge difference ,still don't know , it was like ou for a month for some,then got banned

[@ashwinnair1092]

@@Waiter1986 I believe it was false swipe gaming who said that, but I think that was before the Gen 8 meta had fully developed. Pokeaim did a video about why Life Orb sucks in Gen 8, and you're better off accepting a slight drop in power if it means you can have more longevity.

I always wondered why Talonflame, one of the kings of Gen 6 OU, didn't keep Blaziken in check? I suppose it was because Talon was also a decent partner for it as well, because Talon's scaring it out wasn't that big of a deal, especially since Talon couldn't really sweep through non weakened teams

[@SeriousStriker]

Talonflame is also very frail so despite it resisting Blaziken's STAB combination, it couldn't switch in too often, especially if Stealth Rock was up. Thunder Punch would one shot if it tried to come in. Talonflame was a mere check, not a counter.

[@grunkleg.2934]

Stealth Rock weakness + fraility means Talonflame is at like 20% health tops switching in on a STAB move, and completely gone if Blaziken uses Stone Edge or Thunder Punch. Roost won't save you, as you could just hit it with a HJK as it loses its Flying-type

[@TsuikeNovaus]

@@grunkleg.2934 Was Gen 6 not the best Talonflame ever was? I thought Talon didn't fall off until Gen 7 with the Gale Wings Nerf. I meant to mention stealth rocks but I suppose I forgot, but I never said it was a counter, just could potentially keep Blaziken in check. Especially when Blaziken was first legal, Talon was everywhere, as Gen 6 hadn't become the Stally mess it ended up being in the end, due to all of the hyper offense bans.

[@theultimatepielord8697]

@@TsuikeNovaus It fell off later, the big thing is that Blaze gets Stone Edge so it was always threatening to kill on a switch in. Also IIRC it lives Brave Bird w/ a berry and then kills with Edge.

[@Hexic101]

A lot of people are talking about how it can get destroyed on switch-in, by thunder punch or stone edge or anything else. That was never really the problem, the issue was that setting up Blaziken was so easy. Say you get a KO will Blaziken after setting up, one swords dance and one speed boost. Enemy sends in Talonflame to outspeed with gale wings brave bird and return KO. The issue with Blaziken is, it can just switch out because setting up again is so easy. Just swap into something that can wall brave bird and flare blitz (hard, but obviously talonflame wasn't good for no reason) and then send Blaziken in again later and do it again. Talonflame is more susceptible to chip than Blaziken because of it's stealth rock weakness and it's best moves doing recoil damage. It does have roost, but overall this is why talonflame was a check and not a counter. With other sweepers, if you run an item like sash or shell smash with a white herb you only get that one chance for the best setup and it's pretty unlikely you'll get a boost again. At least one boost with Speed Boost + protect is always guaranteed so at the cost of a moveslot Blaziken is effectively always at 430+ speed

[@hykalia7650]

It is actually OU by usage, but due to tiering shifts being locked as gen 8 ended it is unofficially OU, it currently hovers around 6.6% usage, which is honestly, pretty respectable. It also commonly runs air balloon to screw ground types like hippowdon and lando.

[@sam3oq980]

Something I think you didn't mention is Blaziken suffering heavily from 4MSS in gen 8. Without Swords Dance it struggled to break past stuff, but without Protect it struggled to get going. In terms of coverage it had to choose between Knock Off and Thunder Punch, so alongside STAB there were effectively 6 moves you wanted to run. That, and contact-punishing strategies being everywhere. Garchomp, Ferrothorn, Rocky Helmet, Baneful Bunker, etc. Its longevity was already poor but that made it even more difficult to let it sweep. Also I think in general, set up wasn't super good in Gen 8. Defensively, everyone and their mother ran Toxic or T-Wave and/or Clefable, and offensively there were some stupid fast and strong mons going around which prevented you the opportunity to set up (not to mention the gazillion priority users). The meta game was more centered around immediate breaking power and carefully chipping away walls than sweeping.

Even more interesting thing about it is that it faced the opposite effect of most early gen pokemon with power creep, starting off being outright unviable in early generations and overall very unimpressive until gen 4 gave it the gift of the physical special split and gen 5 gave it Multiscale. It did start to fall off a little around gen 6 to 7 because of fairies and megas, but it still had its place in the meta. The introduction of HDB in gen 8 brought it back to being a strong mon, but gen 9 is probably the most powerful it has been yet, with Tera Normal turning it into a mini-ESpeed Arceus. Overall, just a weird case of a mon starting off unimpressive and then getting tools that make it more and more powerful until it has become one of the most powerful, meta-defining threats that it is today.

[@MrcreeperDXD777]

It just got good stuff every gen Gen 5 gave it multiscale Gen 6 gave it more defoggers so it can keep multiscale even with hazards Gen 7 gave it Z moves to nuke mons Gen 8 gave heavy duty boots so hazard removal isnt even needed Gen 9 gave it tera normal so it can sweep with stab extreme speed

No boots + pursuit trapping and blaziken having a zmove is still too much for OU. We did room tournaments with blaziken allowed, he’s broken

I think that gen 8 is the first gen where he would have been workable, gen 6 it would still have been WAY too much since Talonflame revenge killing isn't that reliable of a strat (especially now that Talonflame fell off) and Mega Slowbro is quite niche. Gen 7 it would have been more palatable definitely with the Toxapex and Tapu Fini etc but it would still have been really tough to handle for the tier (but I agree that at least it's the first generation where testing it could be conceived as there are arguments, I don't think it would have stayed but you could at least make an argument that the defensive power creep had somewhat catches up to it

Can you do a video on the best pseudo legendary (not including megas)? Dragonite is a gen 1 pokemon that is still relevant in gen 9 OU despite over 20 years of powercreep and not getting any love from Gamefreak in the form of a mega or Gmax form. Garchomp is a gen 4 pokemon that I have never seen drop below OU. It has always found a place in every OU metagame. It's one of the most versatile pokemon I've ever seen, having sets that let it be a revenge killer/late game sweeper with Choice Scarf, wall breaker with Swords Dance or even a physical tank with Rocky Helmet. And it still has space for Stealth Rocks on all these sets to make it a hazard setter. Dragapult is a newer pseudo legendary boasting very high speed, almost un-resisted STAB combination and a wide move pool letting it pivot and sweep using a physical or special move set. Plus a dark type nerf in the move Pursuit being deleted means Dragapult and other Ghost types are a lot stronger in the recent generations. I personally believe one of these 3 are the best. I'm leaning towards Chomp the most tbh. All the other pseudos have dropped from OU and are now UUBL, UU or below. I haven't played any gen 9 at all so I don't know anything about the new pseudo.
