Dargoo Faust's [REDACTED] EDGES: "Fire at Will!"

4th Place - Typlosion

I think we're neglecting to look at an attribute that Blaziken has that allows it to really deal some damage to its enemies: it's speed. Out of all the Pokemon on this list, it easily trumps its competition when it comes to landing a hit first, which will particularly mess up its competitor, Typlosion. Typlosion also suffers from lacking any real form of specialty; Smokescreen will help it a little, and its normal-type moves will allow it to deal some damage where fire moves wouldn't work well in this scenario, but it severaly lacks in utility and specialization compared to its competition. Charizard can resist fighting type attacks and can fly, giving it greater maneuverability, Blaziken has the aformentioned speed advantage, and Infernape has the ability to heal itslef. A speed disadvantage like Typlosion's will also cripple it against the heavy physical hitters like Blaziken and Infernape.

3rd Place - Blaziken
