Stats & Training
Everything pushes toward mixed damage here. Blaziken's Attack does the work, Defense pays the price. But you're still getting 3 Attack EVs per KO. Tough to catch, on a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.
Flames spout from its wrists, enveloping its knuckles. Its punches scorch its foes.

How to Obtain Blaziken in Sun & Moon
Blaziken Guide
In Sun & Moon, Blaziken looks average on paper at 530 BST. But Speed Boost is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. C-Tier cannon on our tier list. Protect with Life Orb is the standard set.
In Sun & Moon, yes. Mega Blaziken is the evolved form, sitting at 630 BST. Big power spike over base Blaziken (530). Equip the Mega Stone and it transforms in battle.
In Sun & Moon, 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 and Blaze. But Speed Boost is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Blaziken is leaning toward the physical side (base 120 Attack). Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 80 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. Fits the cannon 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.
