im borrowing this account from a friend since i dont have discord and need help building a blaziken team because i dont like zard y.
main goal is to let mega blaziken sweep, he matters the most so keeping him alive is a must but difficult because of his defenses
most difficult matchups are salamence because of ohkos with flying type moves, and golisopod because of a few reasons; gpod is sometimes in rain, flare blitz doesn’t ohko because of its defenses, etc.
farig is here to counter trick room, kingambit to counter intimidate/ discourage incin, basc for late game sweep, sneasler for annoying fairies, and big chomp because big chomp
i’m fine with changing the team however, as long as i keep mega blaziken.
i have a lot of mons availible so don’t worry about getting new ones

ironcactus-73

setting it up shouldn’t be a big problem since u have fakeout

ironcactus-73

ur whole team is basically physical attackers

ironcactus-73

which isnt immediately a problem

ironcactus-73

but can be difficult against pokemon with high physical defenses

ironcactus-73

since ur having trouble with salemence

ironcactus-73

id wanna add an ice pokemon

ironcactus-73

or pokemon with strong ice coverage

ironcactus-73

that easily oelneshots

ironcactus-73

since u dont have speed control other than stoping trick room and blaziken

ironcactus-73

wittycopper-57 OP

ironcactus-73

wittycopper-57 OP
