What tier would Blaze Blaziken be in?
>>24933534
>Infernape: UU
>Emboar: RU
RU at best.
RU
>>24933534
>it can still Mega Evolve and get Speed Boost.
>>24933573
Base forms are at a different tier that their megas (if necessary) now
>>24933573
Megas are tiered separately from the base Pokemon now, so the Mega form wouldn't be allowed.
>>24933573
I have no idea what I'm talking about: The post
Blaziken @ focus sash
adamant/jolly nature
252 atk/ 252 spe/ 4 HP
Flame Charge
Blaze Kick/Fire Punch
Knock Off
High Jump Kick
Only way I can see a set taking advantage of blaze.
use Flame Charge to boost speed as you get knocked to 1 HP by the inevitable attack. Now your Blaze Kick (or Fire Punch if you don't like the accuracy) will be doing pretty sweet damage.
Flare Blitz can be there if you just want Blaziken to be a suicide 1 for 1 mon, but I wouldn't do it.
But I'd say it's a solid RU mon, can probably hold some weight in UU as a B-/C+ ranked mon.
Arent there like 3 million bulky waters in UU? it's good enough for it but would probably ultimately be RU
>>24933534
RU or UU. It's really pretty slow.
>>24933670
If you're using Blaziken for any reason, you probably want to use it as a wallbreaker. Mixed, and something better than sash (probably expert belt).
>>24933890
oh I know, hence why I said it's a Blaze set more than anything and act as a setup sweeper that at least takes advantage of the ability for that nice 50% boost, which will at least let fire moves hit harder than a life orb.
Mixed Life Orb with Overheat is probably a better set, but man Blaziken just doesn't have a pot to piss in with just 80 speed. There's agility and flame charge to boost with, so I'm a believer in using it to try and act like speed boost blaziken.
Would choice scarf be any good on it?
>>24933534
RU, pushing Emboar down to NU in the process.
>>24933986
Nah emboar is RU darmanitan
He just needs submission
Blaziken be RU or BL2
>>24933534
Either RU or low-mid UU depending on the set I guess.
>>24933534
It was always under Infernape before Speed Boost.
>>24933670
This is actually reasonable
since we got megas and their non mega forms
assigned to their proper tiers now. should pokemons such as blaziken that is op because of one of it's abilities is better then it's others be able to be used in lower tiers when the op ability isn't used on it?
>>24933986
Emboar has a niche with Choice Scarf + Reckless.
So, are we forgetting blaziken has access to reversal? It's not going to raise it too high as far as tiers go, but it's unexpected and can land a surprise KO. It's not boosted by blaze, but both run on the low hp thing. What about a flame charge, reversal, sub, sword dance/blaze kick/WoW/Overheat @liechi berry/sash set? Use a fallen comrade to switch into a tank. Sub. Flame charge or sword dance after their failed status move or switch. Podrace carefully, then sweep. Gimmicky, but it would do work against smogon fags who expect standard sets. Only thing hindering it is MUH PRIORITY, so you have to eliminate threats before sweeping.
>>24935343
Too gimmicky, it'd only work against low-ladder scrubs.
Is regular Speed Boost Blaziken really still that OP for OU?
>>24935549
It wrecks any playstyle that isn't stall.
>>24933670
This is the right set, I'd think. Just get the speed up and kick something in the teeth.
>>24935525
My bad, too much showderp/ELO hell for me I guess. But then again I reiterate... unexpected sets trip up meta fags.
>>24935525
MUH GENIUS POSTER REPORTING FOR DUTY.
>>24933534
UU
It's not molasses slow and all of its attack options are high power with good coverage.
