Tell me why they need to replace Talonflame with another annoying bird cancer?

Water weather was horrible enough but having a pokemon with a perfect moveset is worse.

Talonflame was at least cool. I want to stab this ugly thing 85 times.

I always used Lanturn to deal with Smogonbird. Now that Pelliper's become the new Smogonbird things are even easier now since it's slower and has a x4 weakness, plus the free rain gives Lanturn 100% accuracy Thunders and boosted Scalds. Of course, all of this also benefits everybody's favorite washing machine.

At least Pelipper literally dies to everything. The annoying thing about Talonflame was that it could take stuff like like Stab Ice beams with enough HP left to survive one bravebird recoil on top.

Pelipper is a great example of game freak fixing a shitty pokemon and making it viable but not op.

All 6 moves in its competitive set were added in later gens, it's ability is a great fit for it, and pelipper was given a spA boost this gen as well.

Now if only game freak overhauled more pokemon like that rather than slapping megas on everything the game would probably be a lot better.

It isn't that good. It's flawed, it's NU. You're better off using Rotom-W most of the time.
I use it because I'm a filthy Karenfag, but it does have just enough to make it usable in higher tiers. Its typing gives it the resistances Rotom-W is known for and its movepool has interesting stuff to work with like Heal Bell and Scald. It doesn't get Levitate, but in exchange it can wall most Electric Pokemon quite easily, notably Mega Manectric.

Drizzle, same as Politoed. Not sure why you'd use it over the toad though, since the latter has better stats. Maybe a better movepool?

Lanturn actually did have a niche role in the Smogon OU viability thread pre-ORAS, it eventually dropped off after that. At the very least, in the current pre-bank environment where Rotom-W does not exist it could easily fill that niche in the meantime, though it doesn't get Heal Bell due to no tutors

Hurricane, U-Turn, Roost, also Defog as move options. it's sorta better than Politoed in most respects, though Sneaky Pebbles weakness and 4x electric weak hurts it

Just buff Politoed and give it a different niche from Pelipper so Pelipper doesn't become invalidated.

>>30749355
I agree. I don't think they should try to solve a Pokemon's problems by always slapping a Mega on it.

It puts you in a more advantageous position, especially if your opponent tries to switch out on you because now you get to pick what you want to send in now knowing what you're opponent has sent in.
It's like playing the game on switch instead of set.

it has a slow u-turn, making it good to pivot a swift swim user in, it has hurricane that's 100% accurate in rain, roost to keep it healthy throughout a match, defog for support.
