• Heavy Hitters / Sweepers that can benifit from Tailwind such as Mega Kangaskhan, Mega Gardevior, Landorus-T (Who can Earthquake without hitting Talonflame and also provides Intimidate support), Bisharp, Sylveon
  
• Can be part of the Fire-Water-Grass core providing Tailwind support for Mega Venusaur and Rotom-W
  
• Trick Room - Because of Gale Wings, Talonflame still goes first under Trick Room, meaning it can pick off opponents when TR is up, and with such a high Speed stat it can work when TR expires
  
• Rain Teams - Despite being a Fire type, Talonflame can be useful on Rain Teams by picking off opposing Grass type Pokemon
  

• With defenses like Talonflame's, anything is threatening. Most super effective hits will OHKO and a lot of strong neutral hits will either do the same or bring it to low health. Even some not very effective hits will do a decent chunk
  
• Itself - What?! It's true though. Talonflame is notorious for knocking itself out due to the recoil from Brave Bird and Life Orb
  

• Natural Gift - A damage inflicting move where the damage and type of the move is dependant on which berry the user is holding. There's a list Here showing which berry is what type and power. The main choices for this move on Talonflame would be Liechi Berry which makes Natural Gift a grass type move with base 100 power for helping against things like Rotom-W or Salac berry, which is also 100 base power but makes it a Fighting type move to help against Heatran and Tyranitar. The berry gets used after using this move and it also fails if the user is not holding a berry
  
• Me First - If the user is faster than the opponent, this move copies damage dealing moves and increases the power by 50%. It will fail if the target uses a non-damaging move. Me First will only work if the user moves before the target, and as such it is unable to copy moves with increased priority such as Fake Out or Sucker Punch (it can copy moves with +1 priority if used by a Pokémon with Prankster); it is also unable to copy Focus Punch.
  If the foe goes second in the recharge turn of a move like Frenzy Plant, Me First will work and copy that move. If a move like Outrage is copied, it will act as usual, forcing the user of Me First to use the move for several turns.
  
• Roost - Restores half of the users maximum HP. If a flying type uses this move, it loses it Flting typing for that turn (So for one turn, Talonflame will be pure Fire type)
  
• Bulk Up - Raises the user's Attack and Defense by one stage each.
  
• Double Team - (Not this again...) Raises the user's evasion by one stage
  
• Acrobatics - If you decide to use an item that gets used up - Like Focus Sash for example - Acrobatics is probably a better choice than Brave Bird since you'll be using a 110 base power move with no recoil as opposed to a 120 base power move that does recoil equal to 1/3 of the damage done to the target
  
• Swords Dance - Raises the users Attack stat by 2 stages
  
• Swagger - (As if Rogue didn't hate Talonflame enough already) Raises the target's Attack by two stages and confuses them. Useful against special attackers
  

• Sky Plate / Sharp Beak - Raises the power of Flying type moves by 20%
  
• Focus Sash - Allows Talonflame to survive a move that would normally OHKO. As an example, unless Talonflame gets doubled up on, this would allow you to set up Tailwind and get one hit off with Talonflame
  
• Charti Berry - Reduces the damage taken from super effective Rock Type attacks
