Is it happening? Apparently Hawlucha stars more than just the Pikachu short.

You are fucking retarded. If Talonflame got flying gem it'd be much better since it can use acrobatics over brave bird at the cost of 10 less bp and no recoil damage so sneaky stones don't damage its potential to clean up as much

I'm thinking he'll use it more as a fighting type, to be honest. Which will be somewhat refreshing.

It's like you don't even know how the gems work. Pretty much confirms you're a 1200s scrub.

He'll be using it as a bit of both for decending cliffs. Hawlucha seems to be able to glide Ash, Pikachu, and Diancie at the same time without falling to their deaths. >>19198372

Once again you are fucking retarded. You trade a 165 BP move for the first hit and 110 BP for the subsequent ones. Brave Bird is 120 BP. You are trading no recoil for slightly less damage, which help Talonflame clean up late game since you can actually take sneaky pebbles damage as you aren't taking recoil from acrobatics

Again if that lack of recoil was so fucking valuable people would be using Acrobatics right now with no item at all or something stupid like Sitrus Berry to mitigate sneaky pebbles.
>in b4 you imply that getting +30% damage that first hit is valuable
Durr hurr if that increased power was so valuable why are you using a weaker move, then?

and Banded BB has the equivalent of 180 BP.
The nerf in the gems made the difference in power HUGE, you're even hitting for less damage the Orbed BB.

While Flying Gem Acrobatic might get used in VGC protip: it won't, in singles is complete shit

"SURELY IF EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING IT, THAT MEANS IT'S THE BEST WAY TO PLAY, RIGHT?"

Wrong. Have you considered that Flying Gem was probably not released in gen 6 SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE of how OP it would be on Talonflame/Hawlucha? It was so fucking meta in gen 5 to do Flying Gem + Acrobatics, but you probably wouldn't know that because you just got into competitive this gen. Also, another reason why people don't do it right now is because IT'S NOT FUCKING LEGAL. If it WERE legal, I guarantee you that you would see it on every offensive Talonflame.

Flying Gem would get used on SD Talonflame maybe, but that's all.

BBB is still the best set for Talonflame and would still be used a lot more over SD even with gems.

Now see when you say "Bandflame is the best Talonflame" that instantly tips me off that you are a 1200 shitter, because literally everyone above 1500-1600 uses Lefties with WoW, Roost, Blitz, and BB

Come back when you git gud

That moveset is shit in 6v6 with Sneaky pebbles, and talonflames frailty becomes a huge liability 1600+. It's not uncommon to see someone start with an SR lead when you see an enemy talonflame.

I would love to keep this up, but I'm going out. I'll be back in 2 hours or so if you want to keep this up.

One last thing directed at you, specifically, before I go:

Consider the amount of smogon shitters who don't know how to play and simply use what they think everyone else is using, because "obviously Bravest Bird is the most logical set"

Remember that there are no limits to how far people will follow mob psychology, and there are no limits to human stupidity.
