I don't believe anyone has made this yet. If this already exists please lock it or something... Anyways! The ability speed boost has generally been used by two pokemon, Ninjask and Yanmega. With the introduction of the Dream World in Black and White, two more pokemon have gotten a hold on the ability (Blaziken and Sharpedo). Each of these pokemon generally has a good variety of things they can do with the speed boosts they recieve, whether it's baton passing them or just using them to attack. Anyways, wich pokemon do you think uses the ability speed boost the best? Which do you prefer? Who would win in a battle?
 
Ooh... Hard one. Very hard one. I'll vote for Sharpedo, but Blaziken is extremely close behind.
 
Blaziken rapes all of them, except maybe Sharpedo, but then again it is part fighting.

Plus fighting chickens rule.
 
Bah, Ninjask is still the best Speed Booster Baton Passer around. :/ I voted for Yanmega, though, since he's cute and needs more love.
 
Blaziken has the best design out of all the Speed Boost Pokémon, and its dual types allow it to defeat many opponents.
 
Blaziken, naturally. It can hit hard and fast, a technique in which the other Speed Boosters fall short.
 
It's a hard decision for me between Blaziken and Sharpedo and I have to go with Sharpedo because of Blaziken's type combination.
 
omgomgomg. I love Yanmega so my vote is going to the dragonfly. It's a close second between Blaziken and Sharpedo, though. (I don't care for Ninjask in the slightest).
 
Ninjask VS Yanmega: Yanmega wins. Aerial Ace won't KO Yanmega, but Air Slash or AncientPower will KO Ninjask.

Ninjask VS Sharpedo: Ninjask wins. Unfortunately, Ninjask can win against the shark with X-Scissor. Unless Aqua Jet has enough of a punch.

Ninjask VS Blaziken: Blaziken wins. Again, Aerial Ace falls short. Blaze Kick/Flare Blitz/Fire Blast will incinerate Ninjask.

Yanmega VS Sharpedo: Yanmega wins. Unless Sharpedo comes with the odd AncientPower, Yanmega has it handled with Bug Buzz. One note here: Speed tie.

Yanmega VS Blaziken: Yanmega wins. It can kill with Air Slash; not much Blaziken can do without a miss.

Sharpedo VS Blaziken: The shark wins this one with higher base Speed and SE Waterfall/Hydro Pump.

Ninjask: 1 win
Yanmega: 3 wins
Sharpedo: 1 win
Blaziken: 1 win

Yanmega's the winner in terms of battle performance. (Sharpedo's my favorite, though.)
 
blaziken, because its competitively viable..
It boasts a powerfull atk and spatk and decent coverage as well..
Its so good that t was actually banned to ubers..
 
Which pokemon do you think uses the ability speed boost the best?
Really, Ninjask has used this ability well as a Baton Passer. Blaziken and Sharpedo have both used them well too, but I don't feel to the same extent (I'm probably wrong though, as Blaziken going to Ubers shows). I feel more people use Yanmega with Tinted Lens... I do too :P

Which do you prefer?
I don't particularly like Ninjask or Blaziken. I mean they're ok, but not exceptionally cool. Yanmega and Sharpedo I feel are better, though as I use a Sharpedo with Speed Boost I'll pick him.

Who would win in a battle?
Not sure, though I know that Sharpedo can likely kill Blaziken. Yanmega and Ninjask could probably kill Sharpedo though with Bug Buzz/X-Scissor. Blaziken could beat both of them with a Fire move, but it might die to an Air Slash from Yanmega if it's not quick enough. Not really sure on this one, possibly Yanmega, even more likely if it got of a turn with Speed Boost.


I picked Sharpedo nonetheless :D

Generally, Blaziken. It's pretty awesome in its own right and now with Speed Boost as well...totally kickass.

But I prefer Ninjask more. Blinding fast ninja bug ftw.
 
I prefer Blaziken then the other 3 because it looks cool, plus it's a starter pokemon, so blaziken it is!

Wait... Blaziken can now learn Speed Boost? I can see now why Smogon has banned him...

But I chose Ninjask, because all the other Pokemon on the list stole the ability from him. And he's the only one who can use it to get the highest Speed in the game.
 
I love both Blaziken and Yanmega for their designs and usefulness, but I kind of want to vote Yanmega just to spite Blaziken. It only gets Speed Boost after I've had one trained for years....

But Blaziken's had a lot of time to prove itself. If it's just between these Pokémon, Blaziken. If it's among specifically examples of the species with Speed Boost, Yanmega.
