Guide
Suggested Lane: Jungle, but top lane is fine.
Basic strategy: Hide in grass or just out of sight and surprise your opponents with lots of burst damage, then flee if they still have decent health. Acrobatics and Fly are really good and cleaning up multiple foes at once, but don't engage without backup. Flame Charge is good sweep damage while getting the frick outta Dodge.
Items: Muscle Band is for extra DPS. Focus Band helps keep you alive to circle back around when your cooldowns reset. Float Stone makes you the fastest bird this side of Kanto and increases DPS. Battle item is what you feel most comfy with. I prefer Eject Button, but the Goal-Getter is probably better. I'm often full on points with nowhere to put them.
First 2 Minutes: Your only real job is getting to Talonflame and Fly, but support your lane(s) with any easy snipes you can with Acrobatics.
Drednaw/Rotom 1: Get down to bottom lane and help your team, but keep your distance. Use Fly to get the last hit on Drednaw. Get Rotom if you can.
Half-time: Eat your Jungle as much as possible while supporting your weakest lane with quick snipes of your Fly + Flame Charge.
Drednaw/Rotom 2: Honestly, same as Drednaw/Rotom 1. Get your Fly sniping on~
If there's a 3rd Drednaw, you got this, Flying Ace~
Zapdos: Support Team Fights with the periodic Fly + Flame Charge maneuver. Get out of range and wait on your cooldowns and when Zapdos is being attacked, save Fly for the snipe, in case you need it.
[For your Consideration]: I don't know the numbers, but it seems Razor Claw might sub in for Muscle Band given the right play style, but I'm uncertain. It can replace Focus Band if you just wanna play Self-Destruct xD (Focus Band is SERIOUSLY good at keeping you alive.)
Works Well With
Any other Speedster can make quick work of any evenly leveled squad of equal numbers.
Attackers are your friends. Their range and damage output can quickly dispatch squads of 3-5 with just the two of you.
Healing Supports can keep you alive and make you far more ballsy with you with your plays~
