Mega Blaziken Raid Counters
Going into the Mega Blaziken raid, trainers will need a team of Pokemon with type effective moves or defensive stats. Overall, Mega Blaziken is one of the hardest hitting Mega Pokemon from the Hoenn trio. Thankfully it is easy to take down due to its vulnerabilities and low defensive stats.
The raid can be easily completed by a team of 2 to 4 trainers; a team of 4 to 8 trainers can take it down quicker and a team of 8 to 20 trainers can burn through it making a better completionist bonus.
Using Mega Pokemon such as Mega Pidgeot, Mega Blastoise, or Mega Alakazam will make the battle a lot easier for most trainers.
