>>18754614Keep it flying only and I can agree with this
It's still a very powerful ability but it's the only thing that keeps talonflame out of NU
>give it to another birdOnly if it has similar base stats already. Don't go giving it to something with base 120 attack, for example
>>18755367no no
a flying/levitating pokemon using earthquake removes their flying/levitate for the rest of the turn, similar to roost
You can still EQ but you gotta land to do it
>>18755869and then nobody will use anything like surf, tbolt, etc any more
honestly just nerf evasion so the stages do less.
Instead of 75% -> 60% -> 50% -> 43% -> 38% -> 33%, change it to 90% -> 80% -> 70% -> 63% -> 58% -> 55%. You shouldn't let your opponent get to more than +2 anyway
Also if you're minimized, shouldn't your attacks be less powerful since you're a lot smaller?
