Talonflame Moveset/ EVs

[Marcusube]

I've ran a similar Talonflame set like this before only I ran Swords Dance over Tailwind. Initially it was good, however, major flaw was how underwhelming Talonflame's Overheat damage output was. Now to put things into perspective, Talonflame is known to be a mediocre attacker. It's niche is to get off a priority Flying type move before the opponent can attack. Outside of this, it serves very little purpose. Now Talonflame has the tools to be a good stallbreaker and wallbreaker as well as a sweeper. Thing is, Talonflame is extremely reliant on a damage boosting item such as Sharp Beak, Life Orb or Choice Band. Seriously, the damage output is increased by a huge margain with set up moves or items.

Good set, a bit too gimmicky though and it doesn't perform as well as other Talonflame sets
