Best moveset for Blaziken in Pokémon Go
Pokémon Go players must equip Blaziken with Counter Attack as a Fast move, and with Fire Kick and Sharp Rock as Charge moves.
Counter is a very fast and powerful move that fits well with other fighting types, such as Poliwrath. The same can be said for Blaziken, as it gets a STAB bonus and has the highest DPS and EPS stats.
As for charged moves, Fire Kick is a low-cost move that also gets a STAB bonus. From here, things get a little complicated.
