Yes.

His only real counters are Giratina, especially in Rain, and Kygore (though if he predicts ur switching in with Kygore and Hi Jump Kicks you, ur toast).

That or anything with high power + prioity move (Normal Gem+Extreme Speed Rayquaza or Normal Arceus comes to mind).

Or Arcanine + Life Orb + ExtremeSpeed. Or pretty much anything that can OHKO it in the first turn. Or Scary Face it to -3 levels with a Salamence and destroy it...I can figure out a bit more counters.

Hey, I was just giving examples off the top of my head. ;p

Arcanine isn't going to do well in Ubers tier, and while Salamence can, almost no one runs Scary Face on Salamence.

That's why my Salamence usually takes people by surprise  

Dragon Dance + Scary Face combo = Insane speed advantage. I know Arcanine wouldn't bode well on the Ubers, I was just giving an example of countering Blaziken with Speed Boost since his defensive isn't that good (70 base stats) and the Life Orb damage boost is enough to OHKO with Extremespeed before Speed Boost takes any kind of effect.

Heck, my Rivalry Adamant Haxorus is more prone to actually fare against Ubers than Blaziken.
