>>26697735I think he's trying to say that having a Pre-evo that's useful doesnt necessarily mean it's evo is broken.
Talonflame isn't broken. Fletchinder being usable speaks more to the ability than the pokemon itself. The ability is what solely carries it, so even a lower BST version of itself can be technically viable.
That being said, I dont know why Fletchinder is considered viable if it's entirely outclassed, when that same thread has a rule about not posting Blissey due to Chansey outclassing Blissey.
