7. Blaziken
Fire/Fighting Torchic - Combusken - BLAZIKEN Torchic becomes Combusken at Level 16, Combusken evolves into Blaziken at Level 36
Effect: When a Pokémon with BLAZE uses a Fire-type move, the power will increase by 1.5 if the user has less than or equal to
of its maximum HP remaining Blaziken is the second and final starter Pokémon included on this list - sorry, Swampert fans! Blaziken is also the second dual-type on this list which has both it's pros and cons. Pros include a wide variety of Fighting and Fire type moves rather than JUST Fire types whereas cons include weaknesses to Water, Flying and Psychic types rather than the normal weaknesses of simply Rock, Water and Ground. Blaziken's a starter Pokémon which means it's definitely a beast and it's Fighting type half gives it that added kick (pun intended) to take it to that next level. Because of it's Fighting type characteristics, Blaziken can learn moves such as Double Kick and Sky Uppercut - the latter of which is super powerful. Blaziken's firey background also serves it well with moves such as Blaze Kick and the TM's for Flamethrower and Fire Blast readily available. Blaziken's main strengths come from it's Special Attack and physical Attack which both move well above 300 by the time Blaziken reaches the glory of Level 100. I'm not sure Blaziken is the best looking Pokémon on this list but it's certainly got a cool quality about it which I can't quite put my finger on. Maybe it's just the Fighting type nature of Blaziken and it's kick-ass (puns EVERYWHERE) moves.
