So in what scenarios is priority Brave Bird useful?
Talonflame already has a base 126 speed which is faster than most of the meta. For which specific threats does Talonflame need that extra priority?

speaking for myself, I run a trick room team. Talonflame ruins my shit because Trick room gives +1 priority to the slower pokemon. If both pokemon have +1 priority, the faster one goes first.

It's pretty key for checking Blaziken (for those who don't follow Smogon rules).

it generally doesn't, but having infinite speed allows you to invest heavily or fully into hp without worry.

Trick room swap how speeds in each speed bracket, but doesn't swap speeds bracket, meaning that +1 priority is still +1 priority after Trick Room

Right. Sorry, I fucked that up. Talonflame still ruins my shit with +1 priority. I'm considering running a Tyrantrum on that team with stone edge because of that fucker.

I find it most useful as a check for set-up sweepers that boost their speed.

Rampardos also shines best in Trick Room though it's such shit once TR runs out that you're probably better off scarfing it if you want to use it at all. It just has such juicy attack.

Quoted By:

The fact that you get instant priority means that you don't need to focus on speed and can instead put points in attack or HP. In other words, you're guaranteed to outspeed any kind of scarfer/set up sweepers that don't have priority of their own. That's really useful.

The answer to your question is always.
To elaborate, priority is a big deal this gen, and being able to still go first even in priority ties is pretty awesome.

Everyone in this thread is FUCKING retarded.

"WHEN IS PRIORITY GOOD" is that even a real question? It doesn't matter if you're at +6 speed and your opponent is at -6 speed, priority is ALWAYS good you dumb fucking child. Mods need to start banning the fuck out of obvious underage.
