Banded Talonflame will still be sexy
It may drop down to UU, but a priority Brave Bird out of the gate will always give it a solid niche
Even bulk up, roost, acrobatics is still good, especially if gems come back
Also, can't wait to see a specs set with Solar beam, Air Slash, and Heat Wave and Hurricane move tutors.
It still has 126 speed and offensive stats that work fine with an item boost

>move tutors
Anon...
>>29935105
Stealth Rock and the inability to switch in without risking viability will hurt it, also it will lose its priority off of Brave Bird
>>29935105
>move tutors
ayy lemoi
it will be BL
>>29935105
Sun dog is gonna be UU, the bravest bird is done.
>>29935119
>>29935129
Eventually, probably in a secondary game
>>29935127
Spinners.
It still has 126 base speed

I don't think that is going to happen, but good luck
>>29935119
Wait what?
>>29935167
>Spinners.
Yes, and? What does this even mean? Spinner to Bravest Bird will be predictable as fuck.
>>29935105
>Talonfags are the new Pidgeotgags
And Staraptor is again the bravest birdor is Dodrio?
>>29935300
Whatever
There's a reason why mega charizard in the same boat and OU
They both have the same method of healing and removing rocks.
>Using Brave Bird
>Stealth Rock
>Psychic Terrain
>Switching into an attack
>Attacking a Rocky Helmet or similar without Brave Bird
>Being nailed by Pursuit
>+2 or higher priority
>Sand

Except Mega Charizard doesn't stop being mega after a light tap.
ROCKLATTEEE
>>29935523
And Talonflame still has 126 speed
It doesn't stop being a threat after losing Gale Wings
>>29935574
It loses the most threatening thing about it, though.
It has high speed but high speed isn't the same as priority.
>>29935635
Name one Pokémon that cowers from GW Talonflame that doesn't from Flame Body
>>29935635
>>29935726
Ooh better yet, how about the fact that every priority move except Vacuum Wave makes contact, and it resists the two most common.
Imagine using priority to finish off a Talonflame only to get a burn.
>>29935726
Any fast fighting type with a rock move.
>>29935726
Anything that already set up a Dragon Dance or Quiver Dance.
>>29935105
It's sad how Swellow, with a sweet Base 75 SpA Boomburst with Scrappy will outclass Talonlame now. That Boomburst hits everything that isn't fucking Chansey or a resist harder than my cock right now thinking about it. And Talonflame can't fight those resists or Chansey either. Stay cucked.
>>29937307
There are literally none
Even outspeeds terrakion
>>29937339
LOL SCARFED TALONFLAME
>>29935105
>It may drop down to UU
Yeah, no, it's gonna maybe with some luck end up in RU.
>specs solar beam
Yeah definitely no.
>literally just a fire type early route bird with no ability when it takes even the slightest damage
>>29935574
Wtf are you going to do with mediocre defenses and only 81 Attack in a newly defensive meta? It's become pathetic.
>>29938325
>Scarfed Talonflame
Holy shit Anon no wonder you think Talonflame will still be good, you're autistic as fuck.
>>29938325
>SCARFED TALONFLAME
are you a legit retard or just baiting?
