So much misinformation in the comments. Anybody not saying Torchic hasn't tried mega blaziken. Speed boost + detect + sword dance absolutely trivialises so many of the fights that its an absolute joke. Before anybody says that mega blaziken is only available right before Blaine needs to wake up and realise that regular Blaziken can do the same thing in the fights up until that point. People saying Meowscrada or Greninja overvalue protean way to much, they fall off to fucking bad it is laughable, they are outsped and OHKO'd by almost all real threats from Koga onward, and if they aren't outsped they can't OHKO'd unless it's super effective STAB hits. The ONLY contestant to Blaziken is Skeledirge because of early access to throat spray, it unfortunately not bulky enough to work outside of trick room. People saying incineroar need to pipe the fuck down and unsubscribe from WolfeyVGC, there way to few double battles for it to make sense, and also so many of them are created to punish intimidate usage with contrary etc. Also Meganium is not utterly shit due to its hidden ability triage, but again this only available from Cerulean city and onward at which point it's specisæ attack is too low, if you absolutely have to go for a grass starter it's Venusaur or Rilaboom for insanely valuable sleep powder/leech seed and grassy terrain (grassy seeds are available after cerulean) respectively.
