Talonflame is a Fire/Flying-type Pokémon (National Dex #663) with a middling stat total of 499. You can have one built for Scarlet & Violet, Legends: Z-A and Sword & Shield, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.
Its best stat is Speed at 126, which makes it a speed-first support or revenge killer. Attack and Special Attack sit close together, so it can run either a physical or a special set depending on what your team needs. When you order one here you pick the nature, EV spread, IVs and Tera type yourself, so you can build the exact spread the set calls for rather than breeding for it.
Defensively, Talonflame takes super-effective damage from Rock at 4×, and Water, Electric at 2×. It is completely immune to Ground. It resists Fire, Grass, Fighting, Bug, Steel, Fairy. Its ability options are Flame Body, Gale Wings, and you choose which one your copy carries.
Talonflame evolves into Fletchinder (35). You can order any stage directly rather than raising it — useful when you want the final evolution at a specific level, or the pre-evolution with an egg move it can only learn early.
In-game, Talonflame has 156 recorded encounter locations across Scarlet & Violet (52), Legends: Z-A (84), Sword & Shield (20) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. Note that at least one encounter is shiny-locked in Legends: Z-A, Sword & Shield, meaning it cannot be found shiny there no matter how long you hunt. A shiny Talonflame ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
