Trivia[]

  • With the increase in name sizes in Generation VI, Talonflame is the first Pokémon to have over five katakana characters in its Japanese name, ファイアロー.
  • 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 is based on a peregrine falcon while also having elements of other predatory birds such as a goshawk or kestrel. Its pre-evolutions may make it based on a robin, specifically a Japanese robin due to its coloration. Its Fire typing may also make it based on a fire robin. Its relation to fire and speed may be based on the fact that fast moving objects are able to create heat or catch on fire.

Etymology[]

Talonflame comes from talon and flame.

Its Japanese name, Faiarō, comes from fire and arrow.
