Strategy Overview

Braviary is one of the most efficient revenge killers in STABmons thanks to its combination of Fake Out and Extreme Speed backed up with some decent stats and Defiant. With Defiant, Braviary isn't forced out by Intimidate users such as Gyarados and Landorus-T and is able to pressure Defoggers and ignore any King's Shield Attack drops. Defiant also gives Braviary its niche over other Normal-types such as Ursaring, Mega Lopunny, and Stoutland, which would otherwise outclass it. Compared to Mega Lopunny, Braviary's Speed tier isn't the best, meaning it can be easily beaten by faster Pokemon that resist both of its STAB moves. Braviary is also a pretty one-dimensional Pokemon, allowing it to be easily played around at times; furthermore, it is threatened by Stealth Rock.
