>>19278178>>You fucking deserve to get swept if you let a Blaziken get a Swords Dance or worst, Hone Claws.>you should never use Chansey (no T-Wave,) Ferrothorn (no T-Wave,) Scizor, Bisharp, and anything else Blaziken can freely set up on, or anything that Blaziken can threatenHere's the thing: Blaziken, without a SD boost, is very threatening on its own, because it has a good attack and high-BP STAB moves. And there are a handful of things that, depending on the set it runs, can't really do anything to Blaziken. I didn't even mention T-Tar, Terrakion, Mawile, Heatran, Excadrill, Greninja, Skarmory, or a ton of other things that Blaziken at the very least threatens (but can't tank)
There is pretty much nothing more capable of sweeping an entire team when given a single free turn. SD Kabutops in rain is the only thing that comes close imo, and it doesn't come that close to Blaziken. It's A+ ranked in ubers for a very good reason.
This doesn't even mention that Baton Pass is now legal on it with Speed Boost, so if you DO check it, it may just as well pass its boosts along to something else. Like, Azumarill is a counter, but Bulk Up Blaziken can, without any investment, live Banded Azu's Aqua Jet, and then give +1 attack/defense/speed to some other teammate.
>>19278218>>Anything with a Focus Sash? I guess that's not a very good answer.No, it's not. Pebbles.
>>So your Blaziken has Knock Off, Thunder Punch, High Jump Kick and Flare Blitz?No, but not every Blaziken runs the same set/coverage moves, so your answer to Blaziken doesn't always work, e.g. Chandelure hard walls Protect/SD/Blitz/Kick, but not ones with Knock Off
>>Unless they have Protect, Scarf outspeeds.Well if they do, then it does
>>Also, add Thunder Wave to the list of counters. How does Donphan fair? Sashed Alakazam?Prankster T-Wave is another check, but it's a good "oh shit" button for a lot of situations
Donphan is shit and probably gets OHKOed
Sashed Alakazam is a check
