Icarus

Icarus is a Talonflame created by Echo Torterra. Icarus can fulfill the role of a fast attacker thanks to its good speed tier and acceptable power level. Magic Guard not only lets it ignore Stealth Rock, which would be a major Achilles Heel because of its typing, but also freely lets it use Life Orb and ignores the recoil on its two best STAB moves, Brave Bird and Flare Blitz. Its typing is even decent defensively, boasting important resistances such as Fire and Fighting albeit at the cost of a notable Electric weakness. However, while its speed tier of 274 is good (being a point ahead of Deadmau5 and Esca's Girlfriend), it's not as blazing fast as one would expect as it's also a point below Saint Ntilwell; Flame Charge can somewhat patch this up if it gets a free turn or is able to pick off something very weakened, though. Its raw Attack stat is also rather low, meaning it is very reliant on its 120BP moves for damage output and is rather weak otherwise. Icarus also suffers from poor bulk and is walled by the majority of the Flash Fire Steels.
