I said I would get to Blaziken, might as well do that now :P
[SET]
Blaziken @ Life Orb
Trait: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant OR Jolly Nature
- Flare Blitz
- Hi Jump Kick / Low Kick
- Swords Dance
- Protect / Roar
Role: Physical Sweeper, Late-game Cleaner
What it does: Get a quick Swords Dance on something you scare out, Protect the next turn to be at +2 Speed and outspeed the entire meta (well barring stupid stuff like Choice Scarf Deoxys-S running max speed). Now you may wreak havoc with your over-the-top offensive statistics and proceed to sweep the team. The fact Blaziken's STAB is boosted by sunlight allows it to do crazy things normally not possible, like OHKO Multiscale less Lugia at full health. Combine this with Hi Jump Kick providing you with another STAB move that allows you to hit the Dragons that resist Hi Jump Kick neutrally and you have a fearsome sweeper in your hands that gets more and more difficult to revenge every turn.
Good Teammates: There is one Pokemon that Genesect hates more then any other, Giratina-a. If you aren't running Roar, Giratina-a will quite literally wall you to no end. Therefore, Pokemon that defeat Giratina-a can really help out Blaziken. Specially Offensive Dragons, Latios in particular, are a real boon to Blaziken as they can beat up Giratina-a. Latios can switch into Kyogre and Giratina-a, and proceed to maim both of them with a strong Draco Meteor or Thunder. Lastly, Blaziken really appreciates Sunlight to boost its STAB Flare Blitz, so Groudon is an excellent choice as a team mate. Groudon can also provide Stealth Rock support, something that allows Blaziken to always beat Multiscale Lugia (in sun), and in general, make sweeping a lot more easier.
What counters it: Giratina-a is Blazikens worst enemy. It can stomach all of its moves (barring Roar with hazards) and proceed to phaze the red hot chicken out of all of his boosts. If you can't put that on your team, Kyogre helps out by neutralizing Blaziken's STAB Flare Blitz. If you manage to find yourself going against a Blaziken in rain, you can easily switch in something that resists Flare Blitz (like Giratina-O or Lugia) and use that Pokemon to either wall, or flat out kill Blaziken.
Additional Info: If you really hate Hi Jump Kick's accuracy you can use Low Kick, but keep in mind using Low Kick means you get stomped over by enemy Manaphy. Roar allows Blaziken to beat Great Wall Giratina-a all the time should hazards be setup, but Protect allows you to more reliably gain a Speed Boost and allows you to revenge kill weakened mons as well.

Great Sage is the best.
