Imagine Talonflame gets an ability along the lines of this

Blazing Entrance: Removes all hazards upon switching in, before they can do damage

How many milliseconds would it take for smogon to give Talonflame its own tier above ubers

That ability would be awesome. It wouldn't be banned though, things that remove hazards are allowed. It's not like Talonflame is gonna be especially powerful anyway.

>things that remove hazards are allowed.

Is there currently any way to remove entry hazards without using a turn?

That thing wouldn't even be worried by stealth rock, it would die on switch in to basically any move.

Poison types disperse poison spikes, that's pretty much it, I think.

Well, all rock type moves does affect it so that's kind of good.

Too bad it cant do the same to Fire.

how long would it take them to write an article about it?
i'm wondering more about its stats.
my guess is:
HP95
ATT115
DEF90
SPA50
SPD55
SPE105
And since it will have fighting moves it will basically end up as flying blaizeken.

It wouldn't be banned; it just probably would be used assuming it wasn't complete shit aside from its ability.

Even though Stealth Rocks were poorly made and doing 50% on switch in is just plain stupid from a design standpoint; having hazards is generally healthy for the game since it speeds up battles immensely, and keeps things like Volt-Turn, and Regenerator from being too powerful which would drag the game out forever with constant switching until you're in a 100% advantage

Smogon always tests every single Pokemon at the start of each generation. Don't be an idiot about it.

Swellow and Staraptor are pretty good. Even Unfezant is decent. Why can't Talonflame?
