I think Blaziken has potential to be a good gym attacker. I have one with double fighting and he seems to perform pretty well against Blissey and Snorlax. I think you can get a higher IV one though. The weather system is a great addition to the game and you could easily catch a high Torchic and the candies to make another one.IV's shouldn't be the deciding factor of you powering it up though. If you like this Pokemon and you feel like you would use him, then I say he is probably worth it.

I just find it potentially scary in using TM's on Pokemon like this, since there is no guarantee that you get the move set you want and he may not perform to your standards. It's entirely up to you though! He looks awesome!

If your best Fire-types are Arcanines, then the more important question is: how are your best Fighting-types?

I have two good Machamps, another decent double fighting blaziken. Enough candy for two Hariyams if I can find decent iv and cp ones (I never have any stardust so I pretty aggreively evolve high cp).

If you have plenty of TMs, why not. It's still below Hariyama and Machamp in effectiveness even with type advantage (e.g. vs Iron Tail + Fire Blast Tyranitar), but not a bad Pokemon by any means, just isn't the best of it's type.

On the plus side, being level 34 means if you switch it to fighting moves it won't need powering up vs Tyranitar as it has already reached the breakpoint for maximum Counter damage, whereas a Machamp at the same level would need a few more power ups.

I don't know man. When raiding an Absol, my fighting Blaziken was the first pokemon autoselected (before two maxed out Machamps with C/Dp). All three were fully powered up with 15 attack. Yeah, the Machamp lasts longer (and Hariyama even more so), but if you are battling against the clock Blaziken may be better.

It sounds like you are better off leaving him as fire, if the best fire type you have is Arcanine; but you already have a few decent fighters. Plus, his IVs are good but not great.

Whether it's worth TMing depends on how many TMs you have and whether it's useful to add another slightly weaker option to your squad that already has 2 good Machamps.

But how are your best fire types Arcanines? Did you never evolve 8000 Flareons trying to get a Vaporeon?

For me it's the other way around. Few Flareons, just mostly Jolteons and some Vaporeons.

And I transferred all my Ember flareons on the first day of Gen 2...

sorry to ask a basic question that many others will know ... what is the IV calculator / app that you are using which shows your Blazer's stats? Does it run while you are catching the Mon or do you evaluate IVs afterwards? Thanks

I use pokiegenie. I have to take a screenshot of my Pokémon and the app does the rest.
