Blaziken Viable as a Fire/Fighting Attacker?
I just hatched my 4th torchic and am currently sitting on 86 torchic candies with combusken ( 91 iv 15 13 13 a/d/s ) as my buddy. Is Blaziken relevant in the meta? If I evolve to a blaziken will it be worth it to power up?

A Blast Burn Blaziken could be the best fire attacker barring new moves, so he could have use down the road. Charizard has significantly less Attack than Moltres or Entei but nearly beats out Moltres in DPS.
Fighting type I think he isn’t at the top. Still good but Focus Blast just isn’t the best. Unless they add a powerful Hi Jump Kick he won’t be a top fighting move for a while if ever. Could maybe get a community day for that
I wish High Jump Kick was in the game and took the place of Focus Blast in Blaziken’s move pool.
That said, I use my Blaziken with fighting moves fairly often, it’s great for gym clearing (resists fairy), and Tyranitar raids (resists everything but stone edge). But as others said, Machamp is better.
Blaziken with Blast Burn will be great, though.
