Blaziken Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra 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. B-Tier cannon on our tier list. High Jump Kick with Focus Sash is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra 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 a physical attacker with 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.
