An old favourite of mine that has received a great buff this Gen is Mamoswine. I hope by now that we have all heard of Freeze Dry Mamoswine. Mamoswine draws physical bulky waters like no other Pokemon, such as Rotom-W, Gyarados, Quagsire & Slowbro, and smack them to pieces with Freeze Dry...

We've already covered the fact that we have M-Scizor for Aegi. Swords Dance sounds like a great idea, since it can threaten a sweep from the get go, it also limits Team 1 as to what kind of walls it can choose. Also, +1 Terrakion does massive damage to M-Mawile, making it dead weight after a...

252 Atk Life Orb Terrakion Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Aegislash-Shield: 200-237 (61.7 - 73.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

Team 2 has some solid answers to everything Team 1 has, this round of nominations so far we have been focusing on sweepers that already cover those threats which have great synergy with the rest of the team - my favourite being Terrakion. As mentioned earlier we really don't have anything to...

Tbh, Bulk Up Talonflame uses Ferro as set up bait - Once it gets to +6 not much is going to stop it, let's not forget the fact that you're at +6 Defence running a specially orientated defensive set, you can easily gain a Roost to off-set the recoil. Skarmory is honestly in the same boat as...

Agreed. Bulk Up Talonflame is another very underrated set that is available. Very similar to the Stallbreaker set I had posted earlier, this set takes advantage of a fast enough taunt to beat stall, and Bulk Up to help it power through most unprepared teams. I run a Careful Nature and 176 HP /...

Talonflame can run a Swords Dance set, holding either an Apicot or Liechi Berry, when using Natural Gift, Apicot becomes an 100 Base Power Ground Move, and Liechi 100 Base Power Grass, this gains coverage on things such as TTar, Rotom-W & Heatran. Rotom-W Heatran Tyranitar As you can see...

Honestly I am not sure what you're planning to hit with Me First? Not only that, but the fact that Me First relies on the Pokemon using it having to be faster than the opponent, running 252 EVs in Defense is kind of redundant. At 4 EVs in Speed Talonflame is only reaching 289 speed, meaning...

A set that I have been using for quite some time with a surprising amount of success is Stallbreaker Talonflame, now before all of you jump on the hate train, here me out. The set that I currently run has just enough speed to outrun Deo-D and Taunt it before it can set up as a lead. It also runs...

IMO, W-o-W is better used on a non-choiced set as you still have the utility of roost. In saying that, Pursuit will be doing around 32.5 - 38.5% on Banded Talonflame as it switches out, which isn't too bad at all. Edit: Actually 1/3 Health is huge for Talonflame - calc was with 252 + TTar...

As Talonflame doesn't have much choice but to run some kind of utility option as it's last move I've seen variants that run tailwind to support the rest of the team late game, as well as, sleep talk which is a niche move to absorb spore/sleep powder from grass types that Talonflame threatens. Of...

If you're going to run Taunt, I would say run at least 76 Speed EVs to guarantee the Taunt against Deo-D leads.
