Event Schedule

Introduction

7-Star Blaziken with a Flying Tera-type will appear in black crystal raid battles! Blaziken is a dual fire/fighting type with a strong physical attack move pool. There's a good chance it will have strong physical moves like Blaze Kick, Close Combat, and Brave Bird.

It does have relatively equal physical and special attack base stats, so we could still see some special attacks like Overheat.

Additionally, Blaziken has some great status moves like Bulk Up and Sunny Day, which we could see on turn-0.

Potential Counters

A Flying Tera-type will make Blaziken weak to Electric, Ice, and Rock type moves. Fighting is super-effective against both Ice and Rock, so strong Electric type Pokémon will be ideal.

Miraidon

Miraidon is a strong Electric-type Special Attacker. Open up the fight with Reflect to reduce the damage of incoming physical attacks. From here, if you are able to get off 3 Metal Sounds followed by Charge and then Electro Drift, you should be able to KO Blaziken in 1 hit.

Bellibolt

Bellibolt is a good option as a supporter. Bellibolt is naturally bulky, with a base HP of 109. Rain Dance can be used to clear the harsh sunlight, reducing the power of Fire-type moves. Further reduce the damage output of Blaziken with Chilling Water, and then weaken its special defenses with Acid Spray.
