Let the music play!
Ok, now that I finally have a GBP (thanks Cremator!) I can start seriously planning this now. First thing I want to do is look even harder at possible spreads to take.
All spreads are listed HP/Atk/Def/SpA/SpD/Speed, times in brackets are minutes:seconds.hundredths
Lonely spreads:
3253 (54.21) - 21/31/27/31/31/23 - useful if max speed is not necessary to outspeed the same things as 31 IV would outspeed
5822 (1:37.03) - 25/28/31/30/22/27 - slightly faster all rounder than 3253 spread, might be more useful if 28 Atk IV allows for the same number of OHKOs as 31 IV. Also note HP Ground 68
25638 (7:07.30) - 26/18/19/31/18/31 - good if Atk requirement is low, also has HP Ghost 70
31700 (8:48.33) - 2/19/18/31/31/31/ - good if Atk requirement is low, also has HP Ice 70
33506 (9:18.43) - 29/31/4/26/11/31 - HP Grass 66, perfect Atk and Speed, high SpA
Naughty spreads:
2771 (46.18) - 22/28/0/26/26/29 - good all round spread, also has HP Flying 61 (would be a good early substitute for Aerial Ace)
33398 (9:16.63) 18/30/23/26/11/26 - HP Fire 70, potential for early STAB attack stronger than Ember
Lots of good choices here, assuming max IVs aren't needed it opens the way for good spreads and Hidden Power options. Naughty nature seems to have few early options (most of the good spreads require a long resetting delay). I didn't look into +SpA natures yet but I doubt they would help as much since Blaziken has a higher Atk (120 base Attack vs 110 base Special Attack), and more moves to use his Attack with.
I think my first test run will use the Lonely spread with 3253 frame delay, this makes getting the right spread easier cos of the low time between resets, and will find out if I need any Hidden Powers to make some battles easier. The only real issue with 3253 is the 23 Speed IV, which will likely only affect a couple of battles with it resulting in up to about 4 points difference in the actual Speed stat. If needs be, I can use my test run to EV train a couple of points to determine what Speed requirement is needed to outspeed on those battles if possible.
