Blaziken in Pokemon UNITE

Blaziken is a sure-fire hit in Pokemon UNITE once it gets released and thanks to a well-known Pokemon UNITE data miner, we are able to check out the hot, fiery, blazing moves that Blaziken will be introducing into the game. We are given a glimpse that this Pokemon will have a Difficulty rating of Expert as a Melee fighter with an All-Rounder nature. This particular Pokemon is the first from the Generation 3 starters to be introduced into the game and we all wonder whether there will come a time when Sceptile and Marshtomp will be included in the near future. With Blaziken added to the game, there are now over 50 Pokemon UNITE licenses that Trainers can utilize (Of course, Mewtwo X and Mewtwo Y are already being ported over soon so make sure to watch out for that one as well).

Putting Blaziken to the test

When you play Blaziken, you would want to get your UNITE move as quickly as possible by either dominating the Top or Bottom lane, or taking the Central lane to focus on leveling. You can dominate your opponents early since Blaziken's moves allow you to hit your opponents multiple times as the moves reset whenever you land hits on opposing Pokemon ensuring that you deal high damage output while being able effectively to reposition yourself. Kiting will be the main game for Blaziken so make sure that you get in proper positions and knockout opposing Pokemon fast and easy. Once you come out as Blaziken, you can start scorching through your opponents with the following moves:

Start with Focus Blast to decrease your opponent's movement speed from a distance
Close the gap and hit your opponents with Spinning Flame Fist to switch into Kick Style
Shove your opponents to the wall with Blaze Kick
And lastly, hit them hard with Overheat

This move, based on the test server's performance and findings on Blaziken is a surefire way to knock out your opponents easily and not break a sweat. Of course, after you do land your moves and knock out your opponents, don't forget to follow through with the objective of the game and score some hard worked goals. In terms of what items you should equip before the battle, you may opt to go for items that can make you a little bit tankier since your offensive damage is already absolutely insane. Maybe consider Buddy Barrier that can grant you and your nearby ally 15%/20%/25% of your max HP when using your UNITE move since you have a 5 seconds cooldown on it which would be insanely good for this Pokemon. You can also opt to utilize Focus Band that lets you recover lost HP each second for 3 seconds by 8%/11%/14% of your missing HP when you go below 25% of your max HP. Lastly, you may also want to consider using Aeos Cookie and stack yourself some HP. You can do this by scoring a maximum of 6 stacks of goals, whether it's just 1 goal or more, which lets you increase your HP for the rest of the match by 100/150/200. You can also choose to utilize Attack buffs from your Held Items but you may get caught in heavy fire and will cost you to be knocked out pretty frequently, rendering you ineffective throughout the whole match. Well, as much as we'd love to share great strategies as well as emblems that you should go for, we'll talk about that later on as we test Blaziken on the main Pokemon UNITE app.

We're more than excited to see Blaziken come to the official Pokemon UNITE app and as what we have heard, its UNITE license will be available come August 2023. Are you stoked to play Blaziken in the game? Or are you passing on this UNITE license to probably save up for the upcoming Mega Mewtwo Y? No matter the case, we are sure to enjoy the game even further with new UNITE licenses being introduced even further into the game.
