Maybe.
Also thinking that Avalugg might work well with a Kalos SR poke?
Avalugg @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 Atk
Impish Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Recover
- Avalanche
- Roar
I don't know if I go Rapid Spin or Defog... I feel like Defog is better but the number of Kalos Defoggers is pretty small.
You seem to not understand that choice band keeps him locked into one move it's pointless to be banded into roost if you want to run choice band then toss roost there's no point because then he will be locked into roost while talonflame is in and then your forced to switch...you have to use the life orb if your opponent switchs in on a brave bird your locked into that move you can switch your attacking options also...if your gonna band talonflame you have to give it for attacking moves like all common banded pokemon
You just wanna shoot for the 31/x/31/31/31/31 Charmander. IT's worth it.
Should I switch out the currently 3131x313131 Charmander for one of the other two, or just keep going?
Avalugg is pretty mediocre, I wouldn't use him
Keep going, it won't make a difference.
He also doesn't fit the more aggressive nature of the core. Too slow. I might go Scizor and something else, just not sure what.
What about Garchomp?
Gliscor could work as a physical wall with knockoff, stall with Toxic and sub, or pass a sub to your physical Mon with baton pass.
I have one
That's great! Let me start a conversation with you so we don't flood this thread.
Maybe, I do wish I could have SR on him though =\
That ones not bad either, though I'm thinking now that neither of these are a directed counted to Talonflame. I don't know if my team could stand up to Talonflame after a Swords Dance as it stands.
Tyranitar could do that nicely :) It's also got stealth rock
You should consider running a Rock-type such as Tyranitar if you're worried about Talonflame. Tyranitar can completely wall Talonflame, even after a Swords Dance boost.
Tyranitar rock slides are mean to TFlame, and usually its partner as well.
Stealth rock, Earthquake, Stone Edge (Rock Slide if double), Crunch/Pursuit
Wait how is he not a tflame counter? Resists it's stabs, had stellar defense, and can ko back with stone edge.
Edit ttar is great as well if you give him leftovers and Sr. Or all attacking with leftovers or assault vest
If you go for a wallsy type skarm would be great as well, SR and whirlwind would throw the residual damage down.And he would be able to pull some weight.
Personally i'd go with ttar though.
-Residual damage through sandstorm and rocks
-Hyper offensive
-All around monster.
-plus can kill talon :)
(Ima see what burnt damage would do on talon)
Trying to throw in input, sorry if I seem like a noob lol
He's 2HKOed by Brave Bird, generally a counter has to be able to switch in under the worst circumstances and always win
