Blaziken

Possible movesets:
Fast moves:
Low Kick (fighting, 7 BP/0.6s, 6 EPU)
Ember (fire, 7 BP/0.6s, 6 EPU)

Charge moves:
Brick Break (fighting, 60 BP/1.6s, -33.3 EPU)
Flare Blitz (fire, 100 BP/2.8s, -50 EPU)
Thunder Punch (electric, 45 BP/1.8s, -33.3 EPU)

Blaziken will not overtake Machamp as the highest DPS Fighting type, but it would be much better for dodgers with the fastest fighting quick move Low Kick, and a very short duration charge move Brick Break. It's like the fighting version of DB/DC moveset. It would also be superior to Machamp against Regice and Registeel due to resisting STAB moves. But not against Regirock.

As for the fire moves, I made Ember a faster move with higher energy gain to make it not completely inferior to Fire Spin like it currently is. I made Flare Blitz a broken move (it would be the best 2 bar move) to give Blaziken (also Charizard and Flareon) a small advantage over the fire legendaries with moveset Ember or Fire Spin / Flare Blitz. Also because of fire's lack of relevance in the meta.

..or it could acquire new moves! I personally am looking forward to (hopefully) a fast fire attack with a short cooldown compared to the current fire fast attacks.

Also once mega evolutions are released (gen 6) mega blaziken is going to make Machamp look like trash!

I'd be happy if it got low kick

Low Kick is kinda crappy compared to Karate Chop and Counter.

Ember is totally outclassed by Fire Spin.

If Niantic doesn't want to balance those things out.

Yes, that's why I gave suggestions to buff those moves in my post.

Nice. Blaziken might become an interesting addition and give some relevance to fire types due to its double typing.
I expect (hope!) that it also gets some new moves that make it usable.

Blaziken has weaker stats, and Machamp moveset is already perfect. I cant imagine Machamp getting outclassed. Hariyama could be interesting case with lower attack but massive hp pool.

On the other hand, Blaziken's fire typing is quite a blessing, even if he functions as a fighting attacker. He will resist both Blissey and Snorlax best non-legacy charge moves. (Heavy Slam and Dazzling Gleam). Usable pokemon most likely, but not going to overthrow Machamp.

Machamp won't get outclassed if Blaziken gets those moves. Blaziken would only be better for dodgers, with a DB/DC style moveset.

I increased Brick Break's damage in my post, to avoid Flare Blitz being superior even when Brick Break is SE.

I'm still waiting for that moment when Niantic decides to implement unique moves for certain Pokemon.

I really can't imagine Blaziken without Blaze Kick or Sky Uppercut.

I just hope torchik wont be as rare as the gen 1 and 2 fire starters.
Fire is my favourite type and I always pick a fire starter in all the main series game.
But take a look at my pokedex!!

bulbasaur - 279/323
squirtle - 218/241
charmander - 87/95

chikorita - 304/408
totodile - 228/292
cyndaquil - 54/65

It took me a few months till the starter spawn event that I got my 1st charizard.

But I do hope blaziken will get both a double fire or double fighting moves so it will be usable for me.
