Why is /vp/ acting like Bruxish is the first counter to Talonflame ever? Are you telling me that XY came out 3 years ago, and people on this board still don't know how to counter Talonflame? Seriously. How can you go all generation without using:
>Slowbro
>Alomomola
>Rotom-W
>Mega Manectric
>Mega Ampharos
>Defensive Landorus-Therian
>Hippowdon
>Garchomp
>Tyranitar
>Diancie
>Aerodactyl
>Quagsire
The list goes on. These pokemon are capable of beating some or all Talonflame sets. Talonflame is not a broken pokemon and it has plenty of counters. And yet people are still acting like "MUHH SMOGON BIRDE OF PRIORITY IS SO BROKEN but now smogone is btfo by this shitty fishe! xDDDD verlisify rules!". It's like the circlejerk hasn't changed at all since early 2014. Seriously people, learn to play the fucking game before complaining about shit that can be dealt with. And find a new scapegoat, Talonflame did nothing wrong.

Because it's the first LGBTQI+ counter to Talonflame

That doesn't even make sense, but OK.

Because it has an ability that completely shits all over Talonflame and a plethora of other priority-reliant mons. No one is acting like there weren't ways to deal with it before.
Plus, most of the mons you listed still get dented by BB or Flare Blitz, not really making them "counters" at all.

True, but the pokemon listed beat Talonflame in a 1v1 situation most of the time.

This. Everything else on the list has to eat a brave bird to the face first. Tumblrfish literally shuts Talonfag's favorite move down, and it becomes risky for the Talonfag user to even consider clicking the button if they saw Tumblrfish in the team preview

The mere fact that it's been touted as BRAVEST BIRD and now has to resurt to U-turn like a frightened faggot is what amuses me the most

It probably won't be as good of a check to Talonflame as other pokemon though. Now that I've thought about it more, I think tumblrfish will be an ok offensive pokemon that can't be revenge killed by Talonflame.

Talonflame has always had U-turn as a backup option to escape Tyranitar. To be honest Bruxish will not increase U-Turn usage on Talonflame at all, it'll just switch out to something else.

Yes but it's no longer going to spam BB willy nilly
