Pokemon X & Y Strategy - Metagame for Talonflame

[Blizzard101HD]

This is a metagame strategy for talonflame, since he is in limbo at the writing of this post, he most likely will end up in OU so im putting it here. I don't want to type out the strategy so I made a video to make the explanation a little easier, I hope you don't find this as Advertisement I just made it to help people with building a team. Thanks for reading!

It was nice video!

Yup, it is no average flying types of the game but it it has trouble going past physical walls like hippowdon and is wrecked by extreme speed thanks to the low health even after that it will be OU for the priority brave bird.

Talonflame is, for lack of a better term, an absolute monster that can dismantle teams if your other Pokemon have the right team-breaking capabilities. I've found that Choice Band Talonflame (Adamant/252 ATK) can OHKO base 80 Defense Pokemon such as Latios almost every time, which is a scary with Brave Bird having priority thanks to Gale Wing. I cannot see this Pokemon in a tier under OU at any point.

I hate to be a downer on otherwise good discussion, but this forum is for the gen 5 OU metagame. This is the forum for the gen 6 OU metagame.
