MALDREAD
I know it's still early days but Fletchinder (eventual Talonflame) might have a shot at taking the "Strongest Regional Bird" title. It got a gym win in its base stage and in the last episode it showed a keen analytical sense and we'll as raw guts and determination, a mix of Noctowl and Swellow/Staraptor IMO. But it's still early days but I'm hoping Fletchinder gets more focus and continues to impress (hopefully it does well in the next 2 gyms)
It'll be difficult to top Swellow if it doesn't get used too much and all the major battles are taken up by other Ash mons. But I'm hoping the best for Smogonbird.
