It can clear a 30-story building in a leap. Its fiery punches scorch its foes.

How to Get Blaziken in X & Y
No wild encounters for Blaziken in X & Y. Bring Torchic over from Ruby, Emerald, or Brilliant Diamond, then level through the stages. Each step in the chain is laid out below.
How to Obtain Blaziken in X & Y
Blaziken Guide
In X & Y, Blaziken looks average on paper at 530 BST. But Speed Boost is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. B-Tier cannon on our tier list. High Jump Kick with Quickclaw is the standard set.
In X & Y, yes. Mega Blaziken is the evolved form, sitting at 630 BST. Big power spike over base Blaziken (530). Equip the Mega Stone and it transforms in battle.
In X & Y, 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.
