Blaziken can learn focus blast!!!

I think that makes him top fighting dps.
Apparently it replaces Stone edge, so if you already have blaziken with SE, it just became legacy and super rare.

Wow SE Blaziken would've been awesome to have.

I just realized mine (evolved yesterday) has it. Why is it awesome? Any specific boss or raid use?

ARTICUNO!

It was only available as a move for a couple of days. Extremely rare and unable to obtain as of now.

do you want to trade it?

Thanks for the info. It’s quite a surprise for me because I and my son decided to max out Blaziken by using all of our rare candies, we’re fans of Blaziken, maybe somewhat irrational that time. But now a little reward accidentally given by Niantic, it’s strange that Gen 3 just started two days ago.

Are you going to keep it?

Definitely, we’re fans of Blaziken, we are planning to further have second one with focus blast.

Congratz, you will be one of the very few ones across the world to have one!

damn that is fortunate, niiice

Hehe xd moment

Wait for them to mega evolve.

Speeed boooostttttt plz + protect as a move

I have to disagree to your comment. I just wrote an entire message in Dutch arguing why Blaziken is a viable option in certain match ups. I don't have the time to translate everything, but against certain raid bosses it actually outclasses Machamp.

Short pros:
Think of Tyranitar (IT/FB), Cloyster or Lapras (double ICE).

Regarding normal gym battles, it resist Dazzling Geam (Blissey), Heavy Slam (Snorlax), Ice (Lapras). Giving it an effective higher health than Machamp.

Short cons:
Less dodge friendly, late damage window (compare to Solarbeam), risk of not using entire energy levels compared to Dynamic punch.
