Charizard vs Blaziken

VS

Charizard and Blaziken are probably the two most popular Fire Starters. They're also the two "first" Fire Starters. What I mean is that Charizard was the first Starter (along with Venusaur and Blastoise) but Blaziken was the first in what appears to be a long line of Fire/Fighting Starters.

Both are offensive Pokemon, but Blaziken has better attack stats (on both sides of the spectrum) while Charizard has better speed. Of course, their Dream World abilities offset this by giving Charizard a power boost in the sunlight (via Solar Power) and Blaziken a speed boost with the aptly named... uh... Speed Boost.

So,

Who do you prefer?

Who'd win in a fight?

Who's more useful?

I like Blaziken a lot. He's my favorite Fire Starter and one of the only four Fire types I actually like. This is really no contest for me as I detest Charizard with a burning (gedit?) passion.

Other Charizard Starter matchups:

Charizard vs Typhlosion

Charizard vs Enbuoo

Who do you prefer?
The Lizard with wings.
Who'd win in a fight?
Lizard with wings again.
Who's more useful?
Probably KFC.

Charizard remains my favorite starter to this day, so I'm voting for it. I do like KFC though, I have a figurine of it on my computer :3

 

[Magmortar123]

Probably Blaziken. I like 'em both a lot though

 

[Like_Fahrenheit]

Charizard: type-advantage

 

[Ranger Jack Walker]

Blaziken has always been awesome.

Now it can stall for one turn with Protect, get the speed boost, the OHKO Charizard with Stone Edge/Thunder Punch

 

[DracoMan]

Super Special Awesome Charizard.

 

[Buizelfan!]

Blaziken is way cooler, and he is the original Fire/Fighting starter!

 

[Ghost]

I know prefer Blaziken, because it has access to Speed Boost.

 

[SharKing]

Unless Blaziken wants to spam Protect for a free Speed Boost, it's probably doomed against Charizard's Air Slash. Still, Blaziken's infinitely more useful.

 

[Rakarei]

Blaziken could beat Charizard.

Charizard used Air Slash!

Baziken held on with it's Focus Sash!

Blaziken used Rock Slide!

Charizard held on with it's Focus Sash!

Blazikn used Quick Attack!

Or, alternatively:

Blaziken used Protect

Charizard used Air Slash

Blaziken's speed rose with Speed Boost

Blaziken used Rock Slide

Charizard fainted.

There are plenty of ways you can spin it to make Blaziken win.

 

[Mijzelffan]

Blaziken is my favourite fire starter. So he always wins in my eyes.

 

[Zwampert]

Blaziken. It can kill Charizard in more than one way.

 

[Pride]

Charizard. it can learn earthquake and pwn blaziken.

 

[EpicScizor]

I like both of them. But charizard was my first starter ever. Fire red was my first pokemon game.

 

[Hunter Blade]

I would have expected Charizard to be winning but a lot, but wow...

Anyways, love them both. But Charizard has a special spot in my heart. First starter (not including Pikachu in Yellow), PMD: Red match, PMD2 partner, and other reasons. I do like Blaziken though...

 

[Lufenium]

Charizard.

I just prefer it over Blaziken, even if the latter is more useful in combat.
Charizard looks badass - especially the cloned one in Mewtwo Strikes Back.

"Who do you prefer?"

Charizard is my favorite Pokemon. Red version was my first Pokemon, Charmander was my first starter, etc. Memories sure help.

"Who'd win in a battle?"

Charizard could beat Blaziken.

Charizard used Earthquake!

Blaziken held on with it's Focus Sash!

Blaziken used Rock Slide!

Charizard held on with it's Focus Sash!

Charizard used Quick Attack!

Birthday Charmander ftw.

"Who's more useful?"

Both pretty much have the same moveset. They can learn ThunderPunch and SolarBeam to beat Water Types, have rock moves, etc. Charizard has Flying moves while Blaziken has Fighting. Fighting give more type coverage. Charizard being horribly weak to Stealth Rocks is a pain though.

With speed boost from the Dream World Blaziken would win in this situation.

 

[Ichigo Kurosaki]

I think charizard is a lot cooler. He can fly!
