How does mega Ampharos do as a check/counter to Talonflame?
>90/105/110 defences
>Power Gem or Thunderbolt coming off of 165 SpA
>Can boost Def with Cotton Guard
>Resists both Brave Bird and Flare Blitz
it seems that it would at least force a switch

Yes it counters, countering bird is not that hard.

It's merely a check, not a counter.

It's an amazingly perfect counter to T-Flame. The problem is that it takes up your mega slot and is incredibly easy to counter. You send it out to stop bravest, bravest u-turns/switches out into say a garchomp, who either kills you next turn or forces a switch.

Not really. It's a 90% Counter due to Natural Gift + Hondew Berry being the only set Amphy can't switch into(which is extremely rare).
