Strategy Overview
Simply put, Unfezant is not a good Pokemon in NU, being outclassed by almost every other Normal / Flying type in the metagame. Its main problem is its terrible movepool, even in comparison to other birds; it has almost no offensive movepool whatsoever (not even a decent Flying STAB) and although it has a slightly better support movepool, it lacks the bulk to take advantage of this. It hardly has a niche at all, and there is overall little reason to use it over Braviary, Swellow, or even Dodrio most of the time.
