Pokemon XY OU Monotype Tournament - STARTING

There are too many types that don't have a reliable counter to Talonflame for it to be reasonable. I mean, I can count the number of fire or flying teams I played against without a Talonflame on one hand. In regular OU, it's not a huge issue since there are lots of ways around it, but if your type isn't one that has one such way, you often end up pretty fucked. It's not usually a full-game sweep or anything, but it's too consistent and trades for too many pokémon to be fair in a monotype setting.
