Gen 3 What do you think about this

Blaziken (M) @ Petaya Berry
Trait: Blaze
EVs: 80 HP / 252 Atk / 176 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Flamethrower
- Sky Uppercut
- Substitute
- Thunderpunch

Its great, you just switch it to something slow, substitute till ur petaya ativates and sweep with flamethrower.

It gets:
-STAB (Same type attack bonus)
-Petaya berry boost
-Blaze boost
 
that's a useless set

it gets owned by and/or revenge killed by:

swampert
milotic
suicune
vaporeon
aerodactyl
jolteon
flygon
salamence
dragonite
starmie

and probably many other things that i forgot
the only thing it can really do is take out skarmbliss, and you don't need sub/petaya to do that. at least use fire blast.
 
dont forget dugtrio on that list!

i prefer

-sky uppercut
-swords dance
-HP ice
-fire blast

HP ice is purely for salamence, who's defensive variant (who otherwise utterly detroys blaziken) seems to be the new craze recently. set gets walled by gyrados, so consider thunderpunch over SD. if u go with swords dance, only use it late game, blaziken will be sweeping few good teams straight off the bat. play prediction early on. also whatever stat you're boosting with blaziken, go a -def nature; he's not really going to be taking physical hits anyway.
 
way to weak on the special side. Who cares if theres petaya or not, you wont be ohkoding much after it activates.

My personal favorite blaziken set is:
Blaziken (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Blaze
EVs: 12 HP / 172 Atk / 196 Spd / 128 SAtk
Lonely Nature (+Atk, -Def)
- Fire Blast
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Sky Uppercut
- Substitute

of course pert walls it, but i prefer to beat up mence/flygon then to hurt pert on the team i have it on.
