How good is Blast Burn?

Will it make Charizard more relevant or is it just a trophy?

It appears to be the fire version of Frenzy Plant. With Charizard's higher attack stat, he will be a beast.

It will be the second highest dps behind moltres

This is important to be considered, however since Char is not legendary is much cheaper to get and power up, plus two bars sometimes make the difference, specially since Moltres (at least in my battles) tends to die before launching the second Overheat

GP's DPS/TDO rankings say it's the highest DPS (as did the preliminary calculations posted on TSR), a bit above Moltres. In reality they will often hit the same breakpoints and have pretty much identical damage, but Moltres will have significantly better TDO.

Yes. People do forget about TDO. Realistically speaking, Moltres will be the best Fire-type still but Charizard now comes much closer to it than FS/OH Flareon and is attainable without Rare Candies.

Entei is too busy sucking eggs to get involved in this conversation.

One thing about substantially higher TDO is that it means you might get to skip death animations which leads to better TTW. Moltres should still be superior overall but BB Charizard will make a great budget alternative for anyone who attends CD.

There's no need to smack talk fire pooch. Entei is noticeably bulkier against those with Ice type attacks since it lacks the dual typing Moltres and Charizard have. Also how do you bring up Flareon but not Entei when the latter is a straight upgrade?

Yet it often falls behind Entei in time to win. Partly because Entei goes through less death animations thanks to its massive bulk, partly because Entei has low defense and high hp and generates energy faster.
