==History==

[[File:Ash Fletchling.png|left|thumb|250px|As a Fletchling]]

In ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]'', Ash used Fletchling as his second Pokémon during his battle against [[Grant]] at the [[Cyllage Gym]]. Fletchling went up against {{p|Tyrunt}}. It used Razor Wind but Tyrunt used its powerful mouth and fangs with {{m|Crunch}} to bite and block the move. Ash changed strategy and trying to confuse Tyrunt, he had Fletchling used Double Team, it used Steel Wing and aimed for its chest, but Tyrunt jumped and dodged the attacks and then used {{m|Dragon Tail}} to destroy the copies but the real Fletchling hit Tyrunt with a [[super effective]] Steel Wing, but the Royal Heir Pokémon hit back with Dragon Tail again, knocking Fletchling out.

In ''[[XY036|Battles in the Sky!]]'', Ash and his friends met a Trainer named [[Moria]], a {{tc|Sky Trainer}}, and her {{p|Talonflame}}. She offered to have a [[Sky Battle]] with Ash and took them to a place where they could test out the Sky Battle gear. Ash sent out Fletchling and {{AP|Hawlucha}} to join them while they practiced. When Fletchling met Talonflame, it wished to battle it, but Talonflame was not impressed and Moria chose to battle Hawlucha instead, which upset Fletchling. Fletchling stayed with Bonnie while Ash and Hawlucha battled Talonflame, studying how Talonflame moved and attacked. After Hawlucha was defeated it helped rescue Talonflame from Team Rocket, earning Talonflame's respect. Afterwards Talonflame decided it wanted to battle against Fletchling after all. Fletchling was able to dodge many of Talonflame's attacks due to its small size and using what it learned from watching Hawlucha's battle. Fletchling was eventually hit by a powerful {{m|Fire Blast}} and evolved into {{p|Fletchinder}} in the process. It successfully defeated Talonflame with its newly learned {{m|Flame Charge}}, using the speed increase from the new move three times to easily follow it and attack.

In ''[[XY058|The Green, Green Grass Types of Home!]]'', Fletchinder was called out to battle [[Ramos]]'s {{p|Jumpluff}} at the [[Coumarine Gym]]. It used Flame Charge but Jumpluff was able to protect itself by using {{m|Cotton Guard}}. Jumpluff then used {{m|Sunny Day}}, creating [[harsh sunlight]]. Fletchinder then used Steel Wing, but Jumpluff managed to dodge thanks to its {{a|Chlorophyll}} [[Ability]]. Fletchinder used Flame Charge but its attack was once again dodged. However, the effect of Flame Charge increased its {{stat|Speed}}, allowing it to hit with a second one. Although Jumpluff used Cotton Guard, it was not enough and Fletchinder defeated the Cottonweed Pokémon. It then went up against Ramos's {{p|Weepinbell}}, Fletchinder used Flame Charge but it was dodged, as Weepinbell activated its Chlorophyll Ability using the harsh sunlight from Jumpluff. It used Flame Charge again but Weepinbell used its {{m|Poison Powder}} to escape, {{status|Poison|poisoning}} Fletchinder in the process. While it was down, it was hit by Weepinbell's {{m|Razor Leaf}}. Fletchinder got up and used Flame Charge, but the Flycatcher Pokémon dodged and used the vines above the battlefield to climb on top of Fletchinder and launch {{m|Slam}}, rendering Fletchinder [[Fainting|unable to battle]].

*** As a Fletchling, it is also Ash's first basic stage {{type|Flying}} Pokémon to get a win in a Gym battle prior to its evolution.

* Both of Talonflame's evolutions occurred when it was battling a {{t|Fire}}/Flying-type Pokémon.

* Talonflame has battled two of the three [[Legendary birds]]: a {{p|Moltres}} in ''[[XY086|A Legendary Photo Op!]]'' and a {{p|Zapdos}} in ''[[XY110|An Electrifying Rage!]]''.
