i think swellow is the cutest, then staraptor, then talonflame (i love falcons, but the design of this one isn't really good).

competitively, my little bird is the worst, sadly.

Staraptor

I gave him Aerial Ace, Fly, Return, and Quick Attack on my recent Platinum playthrough. He just destroyed everything in his path, especially with Return. I never cared for Brave Bird since I hate recoil moves.

Don't get me wrong, I love Braviary, but Staraptor was just such a bro in Gen4 that he'll always be my go-to bird.

>>19216470
Really? I always found teaching him Facade and giving him a flame orb made him godly in battles.
>>19216464
Shell Bell+Recoil moves eases the pain a little when training in game. It also lets you spam more Brave Birds. On Staraptor, it gets an added bonus when you switch to Close Combat or pull out with U-Turn.

Very much this. The regional bird is usually one of my Pokemon of choice each gen, and falcons have always been one of my favorite animals. Fletchling caught my attention with the arrow motif and relentless attitude, and when Talonflame got revealed I was really excited. I hoped he would have some kind of viable niche, even just a small one, so I could use him competitively. Dreams really do come true.

This. Toxic does more damage over time, but does less than burn if you only stay in a turn or two.

Even on turn 3 toxic only equals burn damage IIRC. And Swellow is not staying in for that long without dying anyway.

Nah son.

The metagame is now about stopping the Super Charizard Bros.Talonflame dropped off (still is used, just the initial hype died down for it)

But it amazes me how Charizard when from being the buttmonkey of the metagame to top thread in one generation.
