This is the standard set we have now, but with Draco Meteor > Dragon Darts because Dragon Darts does not 1HKO Garchomp nor Zygarde. Aqua Jet from Crawdaunt, Azumarill and Urshifu-Rapid Strike might work too. As for checks and counters, Tank Garchomp, Tapu Fini, Zygarde, Latias, Latios, maybe Lando, Slowbro, Pelipper and Mantine look like the only mons that could stop it.
Life Orb is required in order for that 1HKO to be possible, so I put that as the item, but the recoil might end up being too much, so who knows. I thought about Thunder Punch in the last slot, mainly for Mantine and bulky waters like Tapu Fini, but I think the ability to 1HKO Toxapex after a Swords Dance is more important. I think this will probably end up as the broken set, since Swords Dance alongside Speed Boost allows Blaziken to threaten both defensive and offensive mons, and its stab moves (it gets Close Combat now) alongside Earthquake hit pretty much everything except for Latios, Latias, Dragonite, and Mantine.
That being said, Swords Dance with Speed Boost will definetely push it over the edge. It lost its mega, Baton Pass is banned, and Z moves no longer exist, so Blaziken's rolling on its own skill this time around. I'm pretty sure it's still broken and will probably get quick banned, but I am very excited for the 1-2 days we get to use it if the council allows it.
Personally I started mons in gen 6, which was after Blaziken was already banned from OU, so I just really wanna use it at least once in OU. It's been far too long since Blaziken's been legal in OU.
