Exactly this. Speed Boost combined with access to Swords Dance is the only reason that Blaziken is broken. The standard Blaze Torchic that you will start with in the game is average at best.

Every time I fought someone in a battle and they had this Blaziken all I would get is
1.Protect
2.Raise Speed
3. Sword Dance
4.Raise Speed
5.Protect
6 Raise Speed
At this point all my Pokemon are slower. ;-;
But it's not worth it because you see once I bring out my flygon it's over for them!

The problem with just bringing something out that counters Blaziken is that it can learn Baton Pass as well, so next thing you know you are facing down a +2 attack +3 speed Dragonite :O

Uhhhhh don't even get me started on my friends OP Dragonite :cry: . Unless my Scizor has used sword dance once and tail wind is still out there still is a Chance that my double hit will kill it, and if not all hope is lost for my Pokemon.

Blaziken can also learn moves like Brave Bird which would do a ton of damage if not oneshot Flygon though.

I wonder if there going to reuse the battle system look of X and Y for OR and AS or stick to like it was in HG and SS but since its 3DS, maybe a variant between the two?

99% sure it'll just use the same engine and battle system as XY, they just made a whole new engine for Pokemon games and they aren't going to throw it in the trash after two games.

Plus the engine was actually pretty good, pretty surprised that the transition into 3D wasn't total shit like I thought it would be.

I'm sure they will use the XY engine. Nothing wrong with that at all.

Only the frame "lag" and the 3D effect, and maybe the input delay, BW/B2W2 was perfect.
Exactly. The only real issue is the sometimes inconsistent frame-rate during pokemon battles, mostly with the 3D on but it definitely can be witnessed with the 3D off too.

Perhaps Consistent frame-rate > Graphical fidelity this time around Game Freak?

Please, spare those of us that dont care for the 3D those few seconds of chugging. 'Preciate it.

For me, the perfect Blaziken is this:
Nature Jolly
EVs: 4HP, 252 Attack, 252 Speed
Ability: Speed Boost
Item: Wide Lens
Moveset: Flare Blitz, Hi Jump Kick, Swords Dance, Protect

With it's dual stab, it can cover most of pokémons.
Having a 120 power fire attack with 100% accuracy anda
130 fighting power attack, with now 99% accuracy due to wide-lens,
your chance of hit is almost absolute, and combined with swords dance
you can one-hit ko almost every pokémon.
If facing a pokemon that can OHKO Blaziken, you can hide yourself with protect in the first turn
on second turn, you'll be faster than everything that has not a speed boosted or mega-evolved,
just avoid Mega-Aerodactyl, Mega-Alakazam and Deoxys.
If facing a pokémon that can't OHKO Blaziken you can Swords Dance once,
and with speed boost you not only be faster than it, but also will have a frightening 678 Attack,
combined with those two powerful fighting and fire attacks, you can OHKO almost everything,
and even sweep an entire team. If Mega-Alakazam or Mega-Aerodactyl were summoned after that,
they would be outspeeded by Blaziken and OHKOd by Flare-Blitz and Hi-Jump-Kick respectively.

I would run adamant over jolly for that bit of extra power, cause with speed boost you are going to be outspeeding everything at +2 anyway. Otherwise I like the set, wide lens is a nice idea to go along with hjk.

It would indeed. I hope both Swampert and Sceptile get mega evolutions, it would be a bit unfair on people picking them as their starter if they didn't.

That's also an nice option, although I preffer having that extra bit speed because I can outspeed most pokemons with just one speed boost.

Anyone considered that they will Mega Latios and Latias will probably be featured in this game? XD


Was thinking the same.
Nintendo haven't yet said anything about Mega-Latios and Mega-Latias, this is the perfect opportunity to use them,
I think that's why they never mentioned it, they were waiting for release them with this game.

This is probably fake, but I felt like posting it:
