Blaziken Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide
In the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire meta, Blaziken already has 630 BST going for it, and Speed Boost pushes the competitive value even higher. B-Tier sweeper on our tier list. Protect with Life Orb is the standard set.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, yes. Mega Blaziken is the evolved form, sitting at 730 BST. Big power spike over base Blaziken (630). Equip the Mega Stone and it transforms in battle.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, watch for Starmie (Water), Golem (Ground), and Aerodactyl (Flying) when using Blaziken. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Psychic-type attackers are also a problem.
Blaziken gets Speed Boost. But Speed Boost is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that. With base 100 Speed, Speed Boost gives Blaziken an edge before opponents can react.
Blaziken is a physical attacker with base 160 Attack. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 100 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. Fits the sweeper role.
Game Availability
Available since Ruby & Sapphire, Blaziken appears in 16 games spanning 8 generations. Beyond its original form, it gained a Mega form in Generation 6.
