PVP Mode Explanatory Notes

PvP Moveset Explanation
Incinerate* + Flame Charge and Brave Bird

Incinerate has an edge over Fire Spin due to superior energy generation, but can be more difficult to use in practice due to its very long animation. Peck and Steel Wing both offer similar damage output and below average energy generation, making them less desirable. 

Flame Charge offers a guaranteed buff to ATK and has a moderate cost, allowing Talonflame to set up and sweep. Fly is Talonflame's cheapest Charged Attack and generally the preferred Flying-type attack over Brave Bird due to its reliability, but running both of moves can be a viable strategy because their combined costs fit perfectly into Incinerate's energy. Brave Bird is a very efficient and powerful move that deals significant damage, but can be risky to use due to its self-debuff. Hurricane and Fire Blast demand too much energy to use. 

PvP Rating Explanation
Great League: 5 / 5

Talonflame is a Fire/Flying Pokemon with well-rounded stats and average bulk. Thanks to the Incinerate buff and the addition of Fly to its movepool on December 2023, Talonflame has become one of Great League's most threatening Pokemon. It bullies Grass- and Steel-type Pokemon and can become a devastating sweeper with repeated Attack boosts from Flame Charge, and is an excellent recipient for shield investment. Beware of Rock- and Water-type Pokemon, as they can easily halt Talonflame's sweep.

Ultra League: 5 / 5 

Talonflame just hits the CP cap at Level 50, maxing out at 2493 CP. It remains one of the most threatening Pokemon in this league, and its superior bulk in this league makes it easier to rack up Flame Charge boosts. Key matchups against Alolan Sandslash, Virizion, Cobalion, and Cresselia allow Talonflame to find plenty of play.

Master League: 0 / 5

Talonflame lacks stats for Master League.
