>>16396801>blaziken takes damage from all hazardsand? unless you have 3 layers of spikes up and rocks Blaziken isnt going to mind losing a few HP to much. Especially considering its going to be brought it towards the end of the match as a closer.
>his STABs are walled by lots of type combinations (fire/flying, fire/ghost, water/ghost, water/psychic, dragon/flying and more)thats why he has two more move slots? for coverage? and Shadow Claw is extremely recommended? Especially when considering it for OU tier.
>his most powerful moves have the potential to kill himyup sure do, but I should have taken out whats left of your team before i do die.
>he has to run protect or it's outsped by everythinglol no, only in Ubers does he have too. In OU you would bring him in on moves that do fuck all against it or as a revenge killer and swords dance on the switch.
>most priority kills itAqua Jet
Quick Attack + Aerialate
Brave Bird + Gale Wings
what else can OHKO Blaziken?
>trick room laughs at it>Trick room>In singles>Laughinggirls.jpg(btw....singles is where smogon does its bans....doubles is a whole new ballgame)
>you can intimidate ityeah...you can...sure hurts blaziken...until you realize that it still has +1 atk from its swords dance, and if it doesnt it just ducks out and deals with your intimidator before coming back to sweep.
>a far cry from "have an azumarill or lose immediately!" that smogonfags spit upi actually agree that the chicken isnt as bad as MOST people make it out to be...but its still over centralizing as fuck.
