I had decided its going to be my bro when it was announced.

And I wasn't disappointed when I got it in game

Considering it's almost certainly too slow to get in another hit ever, that seems a fine 1 for 1 to me.

That's OK, you can use it as a fly/hatching utility to help when breeding up a good Gale Wings one.

Gale Wings Talonflame was among the first things I bred up, with help from my Flame Body Talonflame. The only Pokémon on my team that has yet to be replaced from my original intended team.

If you switch in on a brave bird

252+ Atk Life Orb Talonflame Brave Bird vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Avalugg: 95-113 (28.7 - 34.1%)

Then take a flare blitz

252+ Atk Life Orb Talonflame Flare Blitz vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Avalugg: 190-226 (57.4 - 68.2%)

There isn't a high chance of getting 2HKO'd so you can just get a recover off while it he kills himself

Choice Banded Talonflame is bretty gud.

252+ Atk Choice Band Talonflame Flare Blitz vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Avalugg: 116-138 (57.4 - 68.3%)

Put U-turn on that thing and it will do awesome stuff. Way too fucking OP.

What can he do actually? I really do like him a lot, but all he has for a movepool is Brave Bird and Return which is reasonably strong, but really damn boring and still hardly viable.

Talonflame is a good presence in the meta that discourages teams of 6 sweepers. It's easily walled, so you might have to think outside the HO box.

This. I fucking hate talonflame but its not like he doesnt serve a good purpose. The only thing is the current ingame match making is only 3v3 which makes hyper offense the only viable strategy and that makes him fucking retarded as shit.
