Do you people not understand the concept of switching out? What do you think Talonflame does already versus its counters like Tyranitar, Landorus-T, Banded Dragonite, Hippowdown, etc? It switches out.
Talonflame has lower attack than an Amoonguss, is 4x weak to Stealth Rock, and mediocre stats likely to be found on a UU shitmon. Yet 120 BP priority is so good that it's OU in spite of these weaknesses.
Bisharp and Weavile are OU even though they're 4x weak to Mach Punch, a move that has batter distribution than an exclusive signature move. Landorus-T is the most used Pokémon in OU currently and Garchomp is still near the top even though Ice Shard exists.
And your shitmon bug bro isn't getting any worse because it exists. Volcarona is UU right now and it will still be UU. Even though it does well in OU given the proper setup, you still have to switch out versus its checks/counters like Banded Azumarill and Sand Rush Excadrill. Lycanroc isn't a special case in terms of being a mon that ruins your sweep.
You faggots should be excited about an offensive Rock type that is most definitely getting access to Stealth Rock, Rock Polish, and Morning Sun, and how it will be able to function so well in OU like Terrakion did in gen 5 since Rock is an incredible offensive typing, but all that ever comes out of it is TALONFLAME IS FUGGED WAH MUH NU BUGBRO

why would you run that on a mon that is obviously gonna be a squishy assassin

Why would you put Roost and Will-O-Wisp on Talonflame? Do you put four Fire moves on your Charizard?

>Why would you put Roost and Will-O-Wisp on Talonflame
I don't. Also He's already got a priority move and is mot likely gonna be fast so rock polish is kinda redundant here

Is this the new term for Glass Cannon?

>I don't
I wasn't referring to you in particular. Roost and Will-O-Wisp are extremely good options for a non-Choice locked Talonflame.
>He'll be fast already
Not faster than most Scarf mons. Why do you think Mega Metagross sometimes carries Rock Polish?
Rock Polish on an offensive build would be useful for beating Scarf Landorus-T once it's been weakened and other common Scarf Pokémon, plus things that may just naturally outspeed it like Serperior and Mega Manectric.
Just because it has a strong priority doesn't mean you shouldn't run Speed on him. Dragon Dance Dragonite still runs Speed so it can outspeed things at +1 even though it has Extreme Speed, max speed Talonflame isn't unheard of as it OHKOs Thundurus after Stealth Rock with Flare Blitz, Mega Pinsir still runs Speed in spite of Aerialate-boosted Quick Attack. It doesn't HAVE to be a hit-and-run kind of Pokémon.
