After they made Gen 6 regional bird useful and gaining the Fire-type they returned to the boring and repetitive Normal/Flying-typing, and the worst part is that it is super frail and slow. At least they could made it useful like Staraptor and Talonflame.

Now Toucannon is competing with Pidgeot and Noctowl for the spot of the worst regional bird.

Toucannon is one of those mons that...

It feels like GameFreak decided to make a bunch of underwhelming mons for the Aloladex, then game them a single powerful move to "balance" them. Beak Blast seems great on paper, but in practice it feels like a failed concept.

Other examples being Parting Shot Silvally, Tail Glow Xurkitree, and Strength Sap Shiinotic.

Is this how GameFreak attempts to balance mons that have low BSTs and bad typing?

True.

GF seem to put a focus on double battles so I guess there's a reason for them to be viable for Skill Swap shennanigans or some shit.

Unfezant still has the title of worst regional bird. Pidgeot has its mega, and Noctowl can be a decent special wall. Toucannon is a slow but fairly strong motherfucker. Unfezant is worthless

>Not running a roost detect air slash taunt Unfeazant

Also Unova Bird is much faster and only 5 attack points away from Alola Bird

It just has shit for stab

Toucannon has 125 attack and Unfezant 115 so not a big difference the problem is Unfezant lacks good flying STAB.

Gumshoes can't even use its ability properly since its not enough of a threat to anything to make them want to switch in most situations.

What? No, they don't try to make every pokemon OU, just have some form of a niche. And that worked perfectly
