Pokemon Unite next license might be a blazing Hoenn chicken

Pokemon Unite is going to fire your imagination with its new Unite license. The blazing Hoenn chicken, more commonly referred to as Blaziken, will be making its debut in the game very soon. With information sourced from a well-known data miner, it is safe to say that you will have a blast with Blaziken in Pokemon Unite.

This Pokemon was first introduced in Generation III and is a Fire- and Fighting-type Pocket Monster. This Fire and Fighting elemental typing combination gives it the ability to resist a lot of the popular typings that run wild on the battlefields of Pokemon Unite. For instance, Blaziken can easily resist the following elemental typings:

• Bug
• Steel
• Fire
• Grass
• Ice
• Dark

In this article, we will see why Blaziken will become one of the strongest critters in the game. Also, do we smell a Mega Blaziken? Let us take a look.

Is Blaziken good in Pokemon Unite?

As mentioned above, Blaziken is very effective at resisting some of the most popular elemental typings in the current Unite metagame. Players go wild with their Metal Claw Zacians more often than you would like to believe. Since Blaziken can resist Steel-type moves like Metal Claw, Zacian’s primary move is a strong counter against this annoying sword-yielding dog.

The likes of Umbreon, Glaceon, Charizard, Greninja, Gengar, and Lapras are also useless against Blaziken. So, you can expect to have a lot of fun with this Unite license when it is released.

How to play Blaziken in Pokemon Unite?

You start off the match as the Torchic. Once you reach level 5, you will evolve into Combusken. You evolve into Blaziken upon reaching level 7.

When playing as Torchic, you will want to take out the wild spawn in the top and bottom lanes. This helps level up fast. Once you evolve into Combusken, you can get involved in direct 1v1 fights.

However, it would be ideal to take part in combat after evolving into Blaziken. This is the strongest in the evolutionary line, and you will want to play with the strongest of the three.
