>>20232142>If a pokemon is so easy to use to the point one can say it takes "no skill" and at the same time it's effective in what it does, should it be banned?No.

Stuff only gets b& for being OP or just being unhealthy for the meta. Talonflame is neither of these. It's a frail, fast physical attacker that absolutely need Choice Band to do meaningful amounts of damage. It has numerous checks and counters, it's unreliable at RKing a number of top threats, it's quad weak to rocks, relies on recoil moves, and offers very little defensive utility to a team, aside from its fast Wisp (and the Bulk Up set is kind of cool but it means it's not as good at RKing.)
Talonflame is just not as good as you think it is, stop whining about it. As
>>20234312 said there's probably a minimum of ten pokemon in either format that are better than it. Hell I can think of stuff that's even easier to use than Talonflame
>Specs Kingdra in Rain>just click Hydro Pump lol>so skill-less pls ban
