Where is he now?

In RU.

Poor thing. I legitimately miss it

What did they mean by this?

>>31955412
hes actually still in OU, lowest rank in OU and dropping fast but still there

>>31958275
Ranked for OU doesn't mean he's in OU, it just means some Smogon mod thinks he could be useful even though no one uses him.

>>31958255
That the right ability can make literally anything OU

>>31958355
even sunflora?

>>31958358
no_

>>31958358
yes

What the fuck went wrong? His speed tier is still amazing

>>31955401
Hopefully gone forever.

>>31958368
His claim to fame and the real reason people used him was the bullshit 120 base power STAB priority move that made him the best revenge killer in the tier.

Without that, he's basically a Fire type Swellow.

>>31958387
Swellow hits harder

>>31958368
Talonflame could get away with investing EVs in bulk instead of speed thanks to Gale Wings.

Is this a thread for shitty birds?

How does Dodrio stack up now with 110 speed and Jump Kick?

>>31958438

It went from PU to NU.

In the fucking trashcan

sunflora could work with drought

but then it'd be competing with Torkoal and Ninetales

>>31958415
Pretty much this, Talonflame was one heck of a wincon and tank vs fairies thanks to its ability to priority roost.

Now it's just a revenge killer with a good speed tier.

Dodrio also got Sword Dance and is a great user of Fightium Z and Flyinium Z. It might be RU in the future as Braviary exists.

Turns out gale wing boosted tailwind is still top meta
in doubles that is

So how do we buff Gale Wings from here?

And let's be honest with ourselves, was the nerf that necessary?

>>31960575

It works as long as HP is >50%

b- rank in uu

>>31960575
Fuck off, it should stay nurtured

Rotting in a PC box somewhere.

>>31960575
In terms of the Smogon metagame, the nerf seems like one of the dumbest fucking things ever. But Gamefreaks cares about VGC, which apparently Talon is very successful in.

Gale Wings only has three uses per switch in. Tflame can no longer stall using roost but is still the best revenge killer

Giving head for scraps of food behind the taco bell.

In my heart.

At least my favorite replaced his role with the best priority in the game.

I hope Talonflame will be saved someday. he didn't deserved getting murdered because scrubs couldn't handle braving.

brave bird without damage
