Perhaps people say speed boost blaziken is overpowered, but there are several pokemon that completely take him out in ubbers. Even though this blaziken set is useful it's still countered by much:
Blaziken@Adamant(+ atk, -Sp Def) Item: Focus Sash Evs:252atk, 252speed Moves: Swords dance Reverse Blaze Kick Stone edge/night slash Only because of the power reverse has, still several pokemon counter it like Giratina, Lugia, Arceus. Anyway maybe people can say Blaziken is overpowered for OU but that is only speed boost blaziken, did BLaze Blaziken actually desserve to be banned aswell? Blaze Blaziken in my opinion should of desserved a spot in UU. What are your opinions on blaziken?

I don't really play Wifi, but I consider Blaziken my favourite fire type starter.
He is pretty good.

Yeah, Blaze Blaziken doesn't need to be banned.
And in all honestly, I'm doubting Speed Boost Blaziken will be banned for much longer as more counters are developed.

They don't ban Pokemon abilities though! It would be ridiculous because you can make a case for most Pokemon to be in a different tier with their other ability! Blaziken with Speed Boost is way to good for OU IMHO. Unless you run multiple priorities users or one and get rocks up and it doesn't get KOed Blaziken will just destroy teams. SD sun boosted stab flare blitz or even blaze kick that outspeeds everything? I don't like the sound of that

What P0keMEN said.
Also, the only way to ban an ability is if it violates a preexisting rule. (Ban Sand Veil because of evasion clause)

Perhaps speed boost is good, but you can have a GREAT DIFFERENCE in blaze and speed boost, withouth speed bost blaziken isn't as powerful withouth speed boost. I don't see why ban the whole pokemon just because of 1 ability that can change.

Because then there would be Pokemon in 2-3 tiers! It would just be to confusing and yes we all miss Blaziken in UU but I don't want to have to relearn tiers because only certain abilities were banned. To play the metagame you would have to know all 3 abilities of each Pokemon and it just wouldn't work.

Ya' know? The question isn't whether or not he's good enough for ubers, it's whether or not he's too good for OU. Ubers is pretty much a banlist.
