If Staraptor got Gale Wings

Would it instantly take talonflame's spot or is there more to smogonbird?

It will drop to 0% usage.

Staraptor has access to Close Combat.

Smogon would ban it and it would be everywhere in VGC.

Talonflame is only used because of its ability.

Talonflame base attack: 81
Staraptor base attack: 120

Talonflame would be a shittier Pidgeot without Gale Wings.

It at least keeps a 126 base speed Taunt/Will-o-wisp/Flare Blitz, meaning it'll never be as bad as Pidgeot.

Staraptor rapes OU until it's banned since it's capable of beating meatran and ttar because of CC

Staraptor is like one speed point away from being really fucking good in OU. That speed tier does it no favors, and the ability to safely run a band instead of a scarf would make it top fucking tier overnight. As it stands it's still a great Pokemon, and one of the reasons birdspam is so good.

Talonflame has a higher speed, so it would still get the first hit. However Staraptor would hit much harder.

nah I'm good.

Also Pidgeot is 25 speed points less and more bulk than Talonflame overall. Give Pidgeot those 20 points it's missing compared to Talonflame's stat total and it is a slightly slower overall more well rounded Talonflame.
