: Its favorite foods are Wingull and Pikipek. It attacks with a powerful kick and grasps them firmly in its talons.
: It zooms directly at its prey at flight speeds of close to 310 mph, while fiery embers scatter from gaps in its feathers.
: Its tough wings don’t allow fire to pass through them. A long time ago, firefighters’ outfits were made from Talonflame wings.
: Bird Pokémon make up most of its diet. It approaches at high speeds and smacks them down to the ground with its powerful kick.

: Talonflame mainly preys upon other bird Pokémon. To intimidate opponents, it sends embers spewing from gaps between its feathers.
