Blaziken @ Life Orb
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Flare Blitz
- Close Combat
- Thunder Punch

Blaziken can make for a terrifying sweeper, with great coverage and Speed Boost making it hard to check offensively and defensively. Close Combat hits Fire-resistant Pokemon like Garchomp, Hydreigon, and Heatran, making its STAB combination dangerous. Unfortunately, it can't hit everything and relies on Thunder Punch to overwhelm Toxapex and Tapu Fini. Blaziken appreciates Pursuit support to remove Mega Latias and make for easier sweeps. It also appreciates dual screens support from Tapu Koko and Grimmsnarl to have more setup opportunities and make up for its frailty. Blaziken has quite a few weaknesses, mainly Water- and Ground-types, and can appreciate partners like Tangrowth, Amoonguss, Corviknight, and Landorus-T to patch them up. Additionally, Mew and Landorus-T provide entry hazards to chip Toxapex and Landorus-T. Partners like Hawlucha, Weavile, and Rillaboom can also aid in breaking down these roadblocks for Blaziken. Lastly, Blaziken loves Terrains, from Psychic Terrain helping with its weakness to common priority moves to Grassy Terrain and Misty Terrain giving it more opportunities to easily set up.

Blaziken can make for a terrifying sweeper, with great coverage and Speed Boost making it hard to check offensively and defensively. Flare Blitz is a devastating nuke but at the cost of Blaziken's life in tandem with Life Orb. Close Combat hitting Flare Blitz's shortcomings resists like Garchomp, Hydreigon, and Heatran makes its STAB combination threatening. Unfortunately, even its coverage can't hit everything and relies on Thunder Punch to help against Toxapex and Tapu Fini. Blaziken also appreciates Pursuit support to eliminate Mega Latias from the picture and make its sweeps all the more potent easier for it to sweep. Blaziken also appreciates Dual Screen support to give it more opportunities to setup and make up for its frailty. give examples of Pokemon that provides dual screens for Blaziken Speaking of its frailty, Blaziken has quite a few weaknesses, mainly Water- and Ground-types and can appreciate partners like Tangrowth, Amoonguss, Corviknight, and Landorus-T to patch them up. Lastly Blaziken loves the effect from any terrain, from Psychic Terrain helping its vulnerability to common priority moves to Grassy Terrain and Misty Terrain giving it more opportunities to setup. you should say how those terrains allow blaziken to setup easier (grassy terrain weakens earthquake, misty terrain prevents status)

mention hazard setters like Mew and Landorus-T and how they are crucial for allowing Blaziken to secure kos on stuff toxapex and landorus-t at +2

also if have space, you should add a short sentence on Pokemon that appreciate blaziken breaking / weakening their checks, like rillaboom and hawlucha for example
lmk on discord when you implemented everything so i can give you the check, if its above the character limit i'll trim it down for you
