Talonflame

I'm a bird with swords. Problem?

Talonflame @ Leftovers | Gale Wings | Adamant
252 Attack | 252 Speed | 4 HP
-> Swords Dance
-> Flare Blitz
-> Brave Bird
-> Roost / U-turn

Talonflame was the Pokémon that surprised us all. The gen VI Pidgey is one of the most powerful Pokémon in the game, after just one swords dance it's near unwallable.

Swords dance is to massively increase your attack, and then Flare Blitz and Brave Bird provide insanely strong STABs, with Brave Bird having priority. The choice between roost and U-turn is hard, but usually roost is better so that your bird doesn't commit suicide from recoil. U-turn is nice for getting out of tough situations, and is a nice way to deal with the Tyranitar problem.
