| Great League | A | #84 / 1146 | 87.7 | Incinerate · Fly · Brave Bird It's been a hot minute since Talonflame has seen widepsread play. Since Water is a constant threat, Kanto Ninetales has become the ubiquitous Fire type. The new mechanics which prioritize Charged Attacks over Fast Attacks also hurt long duration attacks like Incinerate. Talonflame is still plenty viable, just not a top choice. | L25.5 · 4/12/15 |
