Stats & Training
Raw Attack carries Braviary's bulk more than the defenses do. Sp. Atk barely registers. But that HP pool covers for it. A moderately hard to find Valiant Pokemon that yields 2 Attack EVs on a slow 1.25M XP grind.
The more scars it has on its front, the more heroic it’s considered to be. Those with many scars on their back are mocked by the flock.
Known as “the hero of the skies,” this Pokémon is so proud and so brave that it will never retreat, even when it’s injured.
Braviary Weakness
Braviary is weak to Electric, Ice, and Rock. On the flip side, it's immune to Ground and Ghost-type moves entirely. With 100 HP and balanced defenses, Braviary can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.

Braviary Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Sheer Force changes the entire equation for Braviary. The 510 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as a wallbreaker. Bravebird with Aguavberry is the standard set.
Sheer Force is what you want on Braviary. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Keen Eye, Defiant) work on paper but Sheer Force is what makes Braviary worth using.
Base 80 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. On offense, Braviary is a physical attacker with base 123 Attack. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a wallbreaker.
For Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, the core moveset is Bravebird, Tailwind, Protect, and Superpower. Bravebird leads at 25% usage. This set covers the wallbreaker role with a mix of damage and utility.
