The best moveset for Blaziken in Pokemon Unite

Fire Punch along with Focus Blast is the best moveset for Blaziken in Unite. However, you can choose Overheat and Blaze Kick as an alternative. While this combination will give you similar results, it is a little bit on the slower side.

Overheat does the highest amount of damage out of all the moves in Blaziken’s move pool, but it takes a lot of time to get fully charged. Blaze Kick is a great move and is mobility-focused, like Fire Punch. However, it is not as effective as the latter as it only lets out one fire fragment compared to the multiple that you get from Fire Punch.

Thus, Fire Punch and Focus Blast are the preferred moves.
