[SET COMMENTS]
Moves
========

- I use Acro a lot because I find the berry gets used in nearly every fight and no recoil is nice
- wisp stuff
- stop recovery and other shenanigans with taunt
- roost stall them to death

Set Details
========

- this is the spread I got off DragonWhale and have been using. avoids being KOed by Rock Tomb + Mach Punch from burned Breloom so you can 1v1 a sash one. speed (I think) is for Hydreigon and Mega Pinsir. should we drop speed for more bulk? or raise it for adamant kang?
- lum is best for getting a free turn / switch in on the stallers you want to wall with this, like Cres, p2, Ferro, Breloom, Serp, Chansey etc.. maranga is cool for being more bulky and easier to use alongside acro. lefties is okay

Usage Tips
========

- bring in this talon against defensive things CPed from above and wear them down with wisp+roost+taunt
- that's it

Team Options
========

- mega kang is amazing with it because this talon beats pretty much all its counters (Cres, Ferro, p2)
- casinogar likes spamming hex on things that you burn
- scarf / sash garchomp likes having something to beat p2 and chomp can beat thundurus for talon
- suicune / rotom-w like having a serp check
- pretty much any sweeper likes having defensive checks softened up so they can actually sweep

mention that spd talon is the sickest b8 so it can lure random mons and wisp+taunt+roost them to death bc that's what you do
but the b8 part is important
 
1. Isn't Rocky Helmet a popular option on this moveset?

2. Mamoswine loves a partner that beats Cresselia, Porygon2 and Grass-types. It also checks Thundurus, Zapdos and Raikou. Might be worth a mention.

We already have a physdef rocky helmet set on the dex, so I'd rather keep this one different enough to warrant uploading it.

Good point about Mamo, I'll make sure I add it.
