>>16712450Talonflame:
a. Does not need to Choice lock itself to revenge kill.
b. Has a 120 BP STAB priority move.
c. Can come in on bulkier/support pokemon and actually do stuff.
d. Has a 120 BP STAB priority move.
e. Because it isn't Choice locked, it can run Swords Dance for wallbreaking, (priority) Roost to help cover its rock weakness and general staying power, and Will-O-Wisp for randomly dicking over physical attackers.
f. Has a 120 BP STAB priority move.
g. HAS A 120 BP STAB PRIORITY MOVE. For reference, that's a little weaker than a Choice Band Scizor's Bullet Punch. But Flying is a better attacking type than Steel.
Talonflame does not have the power to sweep teams, but saying it's not a threat is completely absurd.
