Trivia

  • Talonflame can have a maximum Speed stat of 386 in battle; this is likely a reference to the species it is based on: the Peregrine Falcon, which can fly at speeds close to/above 386 km/h (roughly 240 mph).
  • Although it preys on Wingull, Talonflame is weak to Wingull's primary type, Water.

Origin

Talonflame’s description hints that it may be based on the peregrine falcon, which also dives from the air at high speeds to catch prey. Its appearance and typing may also be a reference to the F-Zero series' Captain Falcon, who, in the Super Smash Bros. series and F-Zero anime, is associated with fire attacks.

Etymology

The name Talonflame comes from "talon" and "flame".

Faiarō comes from "fire" and "arrow."
