Magic Guard Talonflame is a formidable physical sweeper with powerful STAB moves that it can fire off with impunity and boasts a premier Speed tier, which allows it to outspeed threats such as Meowscarada and Roaring Moon. Bulk Up + Roost Talonflame serves as a surprisingly bulky sweeper that and a solid revenge killer for weakened threats such as Kilowattrel and Greninja. It can also pull off feats such as beating a non-setup Garganacl switch-in. Talonflame also easily finds opportunities to set up by forcing slower foes to switch out into the opponent's physical walls. Talonflame is deterred by common physical walls such as Dondozo and Hippowdon, the latter of which can phaze it out with Whirlwind, so it appreciates special wallbreakers such as Sheer Force Gengar and Greninja that can handle them and clear the way for Talonflame to sweep in the late-game. Dondozo is also a solid teammate for Talonflame, being able to withstand powerful Water-type moves from the likes of Barraskewda and Palafin, as well as priority users such as Dragonite and Chien-Pao. Talonflame also struggles against teams with faster special attackers such as Greninja and Choice Scarf Sandy Shocks, thus switch-ins such as Blissey or Florges are recommended.
