I have two speed boost torchics and I'm not sure which one I should train, first one is Jolly Speed Boost and the second one is an Adamant Speed Boost.

Both are 31/31/31/X/31/31

Should I go fast or powerful?

Go jolly. It's better to hit first, even if it's a little less powerful.

That's what I was originally going for, but my friend mentioned adamant and it made me second guess myself so I bred one just in case

You already go fast with speed boost, go Adamant.

Osomeone who knows absolutely nothing about competitive would go with jolly or timid with speed boost

After one turn, a single boost increases speed by 50%. The 10% increase from Jolly isn't that important in this case

Jeepers I knew /vp/ was bad at competitive but this is just clueless.

What you'd want to do is run Adamant. Speed Boost increases your speed by 1 stage at the end of each turn so after one turn you'll already be at x1.5 speed where you'll be outspeeding most things, so Adamant is the way to go.

Go adamant, with 252 speed Blaziken hits 389 speed after 1 speed boost which is enough to outspeed most non scarfed things. Meanwhile if its Jolly it hits 426 after 1 speed boost, which is significantly faster but imo doesnt really help that much. I would say go jolly if you're running swords dance, adamant if you're running protect.

It's like you're not even trying to hide how bad you are.

adamant because you get the speed boost first turn then nothing outspeeds you so come in on something you are faster then force them out or ko them and get the speed boost

why would you stay in on a chomp that your opponent brought in on your blaziken to revenge kill?
