Talonflame

Fire

• Talonflame distinguishes itself from the rest of the metagame through its unique ability in Gale Wings. Gale Wings gives Talonflame's Flying-type moves priority over the majority of the metagame if it is at full health, allowing it to function as a great revenge killer.
• Even without Gale Wings, Talonflame packs a fantastic Speed tier, which alone allows it to outspeed a number of Pokemon, most notably Keldeo and Latios. This combined with its access to Swords Dance turns Talonflame into a deadly setup sweeper.
• Talonflame also has access to a number of support moves such as Will-O-Wisp, Roost, Taunt, and Tailwind. The former two are a massive help in setting up a Swords Dance.
• Talonflame's secondary Flying typing provides it with an immunity to Ground-type moves. This creates a number of chances to set up against Choice Scarf Pokemon locked into a Ground-type move.
• Other than its STAB moves, Talonflame has little to no variety in its offensive movepool. This makes Talonflame rather easily walled.
• Furthermore, Talonflame's sub-par bulk means it has very few opportunities to set up against offensive Pokemon.
• This is only worsened by its 4x weakness to Stealth Rock.
