Strategy Overview

Braviary is one of the few Normal- and Flying-type birds that was blessed with a decent stat distribution and movepool, allowing it to threaten a variety of Pokemon. This is mostly due to its great base Attack stat of 123 and solid HP stat. Braviary got a huge boost from BW2, gaining access to Roost through the tutors. Its great ability, Defiant, makes Braviary a menace, raising its Attack when one of its stats is lowered, making Pokemon with Intimidate as an ability think twice about switching in. However, Braviary is still burdened by its middling Speed and lackluster base 75 defenses. Despite its flaws, Braviary is very strong and should be considered when building a team in UU.
