Fast:

Fire Spin – Damage: 9 – Damage per second (DPS): 8.2 – Energy per second (EPS): 9.1.

The Gen V move will be available for Talonflame for the first time during the March Community Day in 2021. While not as fast as Fire Spin, its immense damage can be used strategically.

Charged:

Brave Bird – Damage: 130 – DPS: 65 – Energy needed: 100.
