Moveset analysis
For raids and gyms, Blaziken runs Counter with Aura Sphere — 16.5 DPS and 330 TDO as a Fighting-type attacker.
In Ultra League it runs Ember and Overheat. PvP movesets favour energy generation and shield pressure over raw damage, which is why they often differ from the raid set.
The highest-damage fast move is Counter (13 DPS); Ember builds energy fastest (10 EPS). Blast Burn, Stone Edge are Elite TM moves and cannot be taught with a regular Charged TM.

Is Blaziken good in Pokemon GO?
| Power up | Stardust | Candy | XL Candy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lv 20 → 40 | 135,000 | 15 | — |
At Tier C (rank #24 as a Fighting-type attacker) there are better options for the same Stardust. Keep a good specimen, skip the power-up unless Blaziken is a favourite.
- Attack is its highest stat (240), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
- A second charged move costs 10,000 Dust and 25 Candy, and with 7 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Shadow Blaziken deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Sunny and Cloudy weather — worth timing raids around.

FAQ
What is the best moveset for Blaziken in Pokemon GO?
Blaziken's best moveset is Counter (fast) with Aura Sphere (charged), worth 16.5 DPS as a Fighting-type attacker. Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.
For PvP, run Ember and Overheat instead — league movesets prioritise energy generation and shield pressure over raw DPS.
What are Blaziken's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Blaziken takes super effective damage from Flying, Ground, Psychic, Water-type moves. It resists Bug, Dark, Fire, Grass, Ice, Steel, so avoid those types against it.
What is Blaziken's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Blaziken reaches 3,219 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 2,848 CP at level 40. Level 50 needs XL Candy, which only unlocks at Trainer Level 31 and comes from catching, hatching, transferring and walking.
Is Blaziken good for PvP in Pokemon GO?
Blaziken is ranked #44 (Tier A) in Ultra League with a 61.19% win rate.
In CP-capped leagues a lower Attack IV lets you reach a higher level under the cap, so the ideal spread for Ultra League is 1/15/15 rather than a hundo.
Unlocking the second charged move is the highest-value upgrade: it lets Blaziken bait shields instead of committing to one attack.
What CP is a 100% IV Blaziken?
A perfect 15/15/15 Blaziken shows 1,627 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 2,034 CP at level 25 (weather boosted). Seeing that exact number on the catch screen means it is a hundo — favourite it before you transfer anything.
Is Shadow Blaziken better than regular Blaziken?
Shadow Blaziken deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more. For raids the trade is worth it; for PvP the lost bulk often is not. It arrives knowing Frustration, which should be replaced with a Charged TM during a Team GO Rocket event before you power it up.
How do you get Blaziken in Pokemon GO?
Evolve it from Combusken (100 Candy). It can be traded between trainers.
Can Blaziken be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Blaziken depends on whether Niantic has released the form. Check the events page for Community Days and event weekends, which is when shiny rates are boosted.
