Flames spout from its wrists, enveloping its knuckles. Its punches scorch its foes.

How to Obtain Blaziken in Black 2 & White 2
Blaziken Guide
In Black 2 & White 2, Blaziken looks average on paper at 530 BST. But Speed Boost is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. C-Tier cannon on our tier list.
Mega Evolution isn't available in Black 2 & White 2, but Blaziken does have a Mega form in Gen 6-7 games (X/Y, ORAS, Sun/Moon). Mega Blaziken hits 630 BST.
In Black 2 & White 2, watch for Starmie (Water), Golem (Ground), and Aerodactyl (Flying) when using Blaziken. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Psychic-type attackers are also a problem.
Blaziken gets Speed Boost and Blaze. But Speed Boost is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Blaziken is a mixed attacker with base 120 Attack and 110 Sp. Atk. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 80 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. Fits the cannon role.
Game Availability
Available since Ruby & Sapphire, Blaziken appears in 16 games spanning 8 generations. Beyond its original form, it gained a Mega form in Generation 6.
