About the Talonflame card
Numbered 140 of 237 in Evolving Skies, released in August 2021, Talonflame is a Rare, a Stage 2 Colorless-type carrying 140 HP.
It evolves from Fletchinder, so Talonflame is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

What is Talonflame worth?
