Talonflame

Talonflame in the anime

Ash's Fletchinder evolved into a Talonflame in A Legendary Photo Op! while protecting him and his friends from a Moltres. Talonflame made its animated series appearance under Moria's ownership in Battles in the Sky!, winning a Sky Battle against a Sky Trainer's Skarmory and later beating Ash's Hawlucha before losing to Fletchling, which evolved into Fletchinder mid-battle. A Talonflame belonging to Jan appeared in a flashback in The Legend of X, Y, and Z!, turned to stone by Yveltal's Oblivion Wing.
