>>20234787Yes, but a bunch of stuff gets a base attack that's above 81. Priority STAB Brave Bird and good coverage from STABs alone are what makes Talonflame good, but it's not something that makes it OP.
In practice, it's just a good pokemon, but it's not really hard to handle. It has tons of checks and counters, it's quad weak to pebbles, it relies solely on recoil moves, and it's frail. It's just not OP.
>>20234774Fucking nobody who's any good at OU thinks Talonflame is OP.
And if you don't like local tourneys only using OU, just don't go to them or suggest to them that they also do a doubles format.
