Prior to being {{pkmn2|caught}} by Ash, Fletchling would steal {{pkmn|food}} from other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} as shown when it took a [[Berry]] from {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}. It was also shown to be mischievous as it led the group to a {{p|Beedrill}} swarm. Fletchling also showed a sense of humor by laughing at them after being attacked. After Ash caught Fletchling, it warmed up to the group and became friendly towards them. Compared to the more subdued {{AP|Greninja}} and {{AP|Hawlucha}}, Fletchling tends to be more animated and emotional, puffing its chest out when confident and showing visible shock and tears when upset. In ''[[XY036|Battles in the Sky!]]'', Fletchling became dejected after [[Moria]]'s {{p|Talonflame}} dismissed it as weak. It was also shown in the same episode to be intelligent and resourceful; while Talonflame battled Hawlucha, it studied how Talonflame battled, and used what it learned to evade and defeat the evolved Pokémon later. | Prior to being {{pkmn2|caught}} by Ash, Fletchling would steal {{pkmn|food}} from other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} as shown when it took a [[Berry]] from {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}.

Talonflame is usually used as a scout, like Ash's previous birds. However, despite not usually being used in battles against other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, Talonflame is frequently used in [[Gym]] battles, fighting in all except for Ash's fifth badge. This shows the confidence Ash places in Talonflame's speed and strength. | Talonflame is usually used as a scout, like Ash's previous birds. However, despite not usually being used in battles against other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, Talonflame is frequently used in [[Gym]] battles, fighting in all except for Ash's fifth badge. This shows the confidence Ash places in Talonflame's speed and strength. It is safe to assume, therefore, that Talonflame is an accomplished battler. Talonflame hasn't shown the same enthusiasm as Hawlucha or Greninja, but when in battle, it becomes focused and determined to defeat its opponent, no matter what the opponent may be, even if at a type disadvantage. Talonflame has also adopted Ash's never-give-up mentality, as it has taken many hard-hitting blows in the past and always gotten back up. This shows that Talonflame is quite a resilient Pokémon. It also seemed to want to prove itself against other Flying types, as it wished to fight Moria's Talonflame to the point of crying in frustration when rejected by it. Both of its evolutions occurring in battles against other Flying-types further indicate this. In addition, Talonflame is willing to put itself in harm's way to protect its friends. As a Fletchinder in ''[[XY086|A Legendary Photo Op!]]'', it intercepted {{p|Moltres}}'s powerful {{m|Flamethrower}} to protect Ash, {{AP|Pikachu}}, Greninja as a Frogadier, Trevor, and Trevor's Charmeleon. After evolving, it fought to exhaustion to calm the [[Legendary Pokémon]] down. In ''[[XY093|All Eyes on the Future!]]'', during a [[Double Battle]] with [[Olympia]], Talonflame voluntarily stepped up to cover Greninja as a Frogadier and provide an offensive push for Ash after Greninja was {{status|paralyzed}} by Olympia's {{p|Meowstic}}'s {{m|Thunder Wave}}. | ||

Talonflame is also humble in defeat. After losing to Greninja as a Froakie when it was a Fletchling, which resulted in its subsequent catch, Talonflame did not sulk or feel sorry for itself. Rather, it shared an [[Oran Berry]] snack with Pikachu and Froakie, symbolizing their newfound friendship. Talonflame is also loyal to its friends, which is shown by its constant willingness to search for its friends whenever they get separated from {{ashfr|the group}}. Talonflame seems to have a good relationship with {{an|Bonnie}}, as it took inspiration from her words, which helped it to evolve when a Fletchling. This also shows that Talonflame is not too proud to refuse advice when given it and will persist in improving itself. It has also been hinted that Talonflame has become more moralistic, as it showed remorse after being scolded by Bonnie for stealing food from [[wild Pokémon]]. It also enjoys having its wings cleaned by Bonnie, as stated by Ash. | Talonflame is also humble in defeat.
