Best counters for Blaziken in OU?

My personal tier list for the current OU metagame - let's debate!

After playing over 500 games this season, here's how I'd rank the top threats:


**S Tier (Meta-defining):**

- Dragonite (Multiscale is broken)

- Garchomp (Best overall Pokemon)

- Heatran (Incredible defensive utility)

**A Tier (Top threats):**

- Landorus-T

- Ferrothorn

- Toxapex

- Weavile

- Volcarona


**B Tier (Solid picks):**

- Gyarados

- Magnezone

- Clefable

- Tapu Lele

- Kartana

**C Tier (Niche but viable):**

- Bisharp

- Azumarill

- Slowbro

- Amoonguss

What would you change? I'm sure some of these placements will be controversial!

Just wanted to add - this also works really well with the Shiny Charm equipped.

Quick question - does this method work in the newer games too?

This brings up a good point. What do others think about this?

Couldn't agree more. You've hit the nail on the head here.

You've inspired me to give this a try. Wish me luck!
