Trivia

Origin

Max Blaze appears to be a Max Move version of Blaze, an Ability in the Pokémon games that Blaziken can have. The attack in Japanese reads ダイブレイズ, of which one translation is Dai Blaze. The Ability's name in katakana is モウカ, which can be translated as Raging Flames. Which would mean the attack is likely originally referring to fire in general and not the Ability.

The Tower of Waters is featured in the Chilling Reign Special Full Art print's illustration. May is featured in the Silver Tempest print's illustration, who can use a Blaziken if the player selects Treecko as their first partner Pokémon in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
