Blaziken Viable as a Fire/Fighting Attacker?

I just hatched my 4th torchic and am currently sitting on 86 torchic candies with combusken ( 91 iv 15 13 13 a/d/s ) as my buddy. Is Blaziken relevant in the meta? If I evolve to a blaziken will it be worth it to power up?

My personal opinion is i will wait for Community Day..
In fighting perspective, it is cannot beat Machamp overall.
In fire, it will be better with Blastburn, the likely move for it. Talking about non legendary, is better than Charizard Blast Burn ? I dont know, probably not, but nice to have some..

Blaziken has 17 more base attack than Charizard, it will absolutely be better than Charizard when both have Blast Burn.

A Blast Burn Blaziken could be the best fire attacker barring new moves, so he could have use down the road. Charizard has significantly less Attack than Moltres or Entei but nearly beats out Moltres in DPS.

Fighting type I think he isn’t at the top. Still good but Focus Blast just isn’t the best. Unless they add a powerful Hi Jump Kick he won’t be a top fighting move for a while if ever. Could maybe get a community day for that

As fire attacker is not currently relevant. Keep unevolved until its community day. Or you may use it as fighting type (it's worse than machamp and Haryana but cool looking...)

It's an inferior fighting attacker due to not having access to Dynamic Punch. It's one of the best fire attackers, but Flareon is better and much easier to get.

Wait for Community Day, if it gets Blast Burn, it'll be amazing as a fire attacker.

As a Fire attacker, Blaziken is viable for several tier 3 solos (notably Jynx) at level 30. I CTMed my 98% Blaziken from Ct/Fo (with which I never used it) to FS/OH.

I wish High Jump Kick was in the game and took the place of Focus Blast in Blaziken’s move pool.

That said, I use my Blaziken with fighting moves fairly often, it’s great for gym clearing (resists fairy), and Tyranitar raids (resists everything but stone edge). But as others said, Machamp is better.

Blaziken with Blast Burn will be great, though.
