Best counters for Blaziken – Pokémon Scarlet & Violet

Blaziken can reduce physical damage, making special Pokémon much more effective. A resistance to Flying-, Fighting- and Fire-type attacks is a must, while super-effective attacks are a nice bonus. Blaziken’s Speed Boost ability means that it will outspeed pretty much any counter, so speed isn’t very important for this raid.

Here are our favorite counters for the Blaziken seven-star raids.

Slowbro

Slowbro is a raid staple thanks to its ability to quickly gain stats and then melt opponents with Stored Power. Psych Up will help by copying Blaziken’s boosts, and Slowbro naturally resists all of Blaziken’s attacks. Alternatively, you can run Slowbro as a supportive set with Acid Spray to lower special defense, Chilling Water to lower attack, and Rain Dance to reduce damage.

Slowbro – Level 100

• Nature – Bold
• Ability – Oblivious
• Item – Shell Bell
• Tera type – Psychic
• Move set – Iron Defense, Psych Up, Calm Mind, Stored Power OR Rain Dance, Iron Defense, Acid Spray, Chilling Water

Armarouge

Flash Fire will protect Armarouge from Fire-type attacks, making it a great counter. It also has Will-O-Wisp and Reflect to reduce damage from Blaziken, while Clear Smog will remove any boosts it stacks up. Our main attack here is Meteor Beam. While it is a two-turn attack, it boosts a special attack on the first turn, making boosts add up.
