There is stuff that can deal with it. I'm just tired of faking out the Talonflame with a Pikachu and then rock sliding.

It's just getting boring. And when it comes in late game and I have nothing to deal with it, then it's just like "well, might as well forfeit now".

I know I can take certain counters, but I just want to have fun with Pokemon I've chosen.

Surely switching in your Cradily and Shuckle/Crustle will instantly lead to a dead Talonflame, despite the fact it 2HKOs with hazards and can switch out to bring it into KO range with another mon at any point.

grass has... cradily

true, I forgot about him, but that's an awfully niche strategy and will only work when rocks aren't up on your side and stone edge doesn't miss

Bonus points: Armaldo can run Rocks.

SR/Protect/Edge/Knock Off

If it had something more reliable for recovery, then it would be pretty boss.
