why Blaziken?

Because of Speed Boost. Give it 2-3 turns and it outspeeds all its counters. And since Fire/Fighting is already great coverage, and it has extremely powerful STABs with 120 base Attack, it's too good for OU.

You're only hope is a bulky Water with priority. But you better hope that Blaziken didn't Swords Dance or Sub or something already >.>

I wonder if my Vaporeon could take a hit from it and Haze to get rid of the Speed Boosts...

Blaziken is overrated, yeah yeah hits hard is fast etc, but guess what so does the majority of the metagame, plus his main attacks have massive recoil potential. Something as simple as switching in a ghost/using protect on a predicted hi jump kick will cripple him. He also has paper defenses when strong priority moves are everywhere.

Smogon just bans shit arbitrarily. Some of the people in high places there are truly idiotic, it's kinda sad because people will listen to it as it's the "teamliquid" of pokemon, I suppose each community deserves its own hub website.

The only legit counter I can think of is Slowbro. Or maybe Starmie. Maybe Jellicent? Those are the only Pokes I can think of that resist both of its STABs.

People have suggested some LOL counters. Like Alakazam with Focus Sash, or Shell Break Carracosta with Aqua Jet. I don't know what kinda world you live in if you think that a Rock Pokemon is a counter to a Fighting Pokemon >.<

Edit: I think that Azumarill could handle it, but besides countering Blaziken it's NU trash and even then you're screwed if the Sun is up D:

Or dozens of people vote on it. And it's not like these votes never happen after much testing and analysis of usage statistics.

Very arbitrary, I'd say.

Plus, no one is forcing you to use Smogon's rules anyway. So there's no point in complaining. You play in your court, we'll play in ours.

Smogon's rules are forced on everyone who plays the game in a semi-controlled level, you should know that. The people who vote on those things can be anywhere from "pokemon online superstars" from randoms that wrote a good article on the website once, hardly a good gauge of their competence.

Though it's not really surprising, they did the same to garchomp and salamence in gen 4, speed boost blaziken is just a worse version of those. Life goes on

With people runnnig these sets, I dont understand why people dont run hard hitting physical tanks as leads. Standard hippowdon seems like he would laugh at all this stuff.'

Anyway, I ran a lead sashed sableye with taunt/WoW/foul play/shadow sneak. Probably the best WoW user I have come across.
