Always having priority on Flying type moves feel so quaint now. Abilities nowadays are

just switch into a resist... the most common defensive type in the game resists it, and it also deals recoil so they cant spam. if youre secondary typing doesnt resist fire use a rock type for the same effect

to be honest with all the ability powercreep we have now, I think Gale Wings deserves to be brought back to its former glory again

Balancing in Pokemon really is the equivalent to moral relativity, especially when all the walking fetishes get to have broken shit.

yeah talon sucked ass when you aren't playing against HO teams, you can't even flare blitz ferro without taking a bajillion recoil and helmet+iron barbs damage, late ORAS people were running overheat instead

No, it was priority tailwind and roost in VGC and BSS. Now, if you use fake out, which has higher priority, on Talonflame, it no longer has priority status moves. Talonflame ia now balanced in VGC. You get one turn of priority at the most.

They didn't do much to stop Prankster Tailwind by comparison.

It's interesting how all the humanoid and furshit get all the good stuff.
Marketing was a mistake.

With today's powercreep, yeah. Gen6 Galewing and Gengar with Levitate can come back and it'd still be underwhelming.
