Braviary (M) @ Heavy-Duty Boots

Impish Nature
- Brave Bird
- Defog
- Roost
- U-turn / Close Combat


[SET COMMENTS]
Braviary serves as good entry hazard removal for Normal teams due to its good bulk and Fighting neutrality, which let it comfortably use Defog in front of foes like Sneasler and Meowscarada. Brave Bird is Braviary's strongest STAB move, threatening to OHKO foes like the Ogerpon formes and Sinistcha. U-turn helps keep momentum going and damage common switch-ins like Ting-Lu and Iron Boulder. Close Combat can be used instead of U-turn to check Steel-, Rock-, and Normal-types like Excadrill, Kingambit, Tyranitar, and Blissey. Doing so, however, means that Braviary would lack the momentum it gets from U-turn, which is crucial for Normal teams. The EVs above allow Braviary to outspeed Adamant Azumarill while also comfortably taking attacks from Garchomp and Ogerpon-H. The given EVs also let Braviary survive an Icicle Crash from unboosted Chien-Pao when Braviary is at full HP.

Blissey is a great teammate, as it can tank special hits from Choice Specs users like Greninja, Flutter Mane, and Kyurem while also being able to set up Stealth Rock and spread paralysis with Thunder Wave. Braviary returns the favor by dealing with Choice Scarf users like Galarian Zapdos and Great Tusk for Blissey. Porygon2 is a nice defensive wall when paired with Braviary, being able to wall Ice-types like Baxcalibur and Mamoswine and stop setup users like Scizor, Gouging Fire, and Ceruledge with Foul Play. Calm Mind Ursaluna-B is a great teammate thanks to its Electric immunity and ability to break defensive walls like Zapdos, Toxapex, Clodsire, and Archaludon. In exchange, Braviary handles Meowscarada and Hisuian Samurott. Choice Scarf Ditto is an excellent revenge killer, using its ability to flip the script on sweepers like Gouging Fire, Dragonite, and Keldeo late-game. Choice Specs Hisuian Zoroark provides a Fighting immunity for the team while being able to check Ghost- and Steel-types like Gholdengo and Corviknight. Braviary can remove hazards for Hisuian Zoroark while taking out Kingambit and Choice Scarf Hisuian Samurott. Choice Scarf Indeedee is another option, which provides more support in the Fighting and Poison matchups due to its part-Psychic typing and ability to set up Psychic Terrain for the team. Indeedee can also blast away threats, such as Zamazenta, mixed offense Iron Valiant, and Clodsire,in Terrain with Expanding Force. Calm Mind Terapagos, with its colorful moveset, can be a good teammate to pressure defensive Pokemon like Corviknight and Quagsire for Braviary.

Braviary is a good hazard remover for Normal teams due to its good bulk; Fighting neutrality which can comfortably Defog infront of foes like Sneasler, Meowscarada, and Landorus-T. Defiant allows for Braviary to take advantage of defog (Defog > defog) users (like?), and stat drops to double its attack. Brave Bird is Braviary strongest STAB move that threatens and OHKoes threats like Ogerpon-Hearthflame, Ogerpon-Wellspring, and Sneasler. U-turn is a good pivoting move to keep momentum and damaging common switch ins like Ting-lu, and Iron Boulder. Close Combat can be run over U-Turn to check Steel-, Dark-, Rock-, and Normal types like Excadrill, Kingambit, Tyranitar, and Blissey. (too niche we should move this to OO- the loss of teleport users for normal is hugeThe above Ev spread allows Braviary to comfortably take hits from Urshifu-R, Ogerpon-H, and can even survive a hit from Non-Choice Band Icicle Crash Chien-Pao from full HP. (just say unboosted? What are the speed evs for. Max max allows you to perfectly check scarf urshifu)

Blissey is great teammate to tank special hits from Choice Specs users like Greninja, Flutter Mane, and Kyurem while also being able to set up Stealth Rock and spread paralysis with Thunder Wave. Braviary returns the favor by dealing with Sneasler, and Urshifu-R for Blissey. Porygon 2 is a nice defensive wall pair with Braviary being able to wall Ice types like Baxcalibur, Mamoswine, and Choice Band Chien-Pao; Being able to stop set up users with Foul Play. (needs examples for foul play esp gouging fire) Calm Mind Ursaluna-Bloodmoon is a great teammate being electric immunity and being able to break defensive walls like Zapdos, Toxapex, Clodsire, and Archaludon. In exchange Braviary handles the aforementioned Urshifu-R, and Meowscarada. (urshifu surpasses the damage threshold with punching gloves iirc so it’s kinda hard to confidently say yes Braviary is your bestfriend. I would mention urshifu around zoroark maybe?. I meant to put this earlier but Sneasler has a lot of mentions. Sneasler was mentioned after the Blissey section (again) but tbh hisian zoro alone is a better check to sneasler than brav.) Choice Scarf Ditto is an excellent revenge killer for the team being able to Transform into sweepers to reverse sweep in the late game. (slightly too generalized and doesn’t exactly tell the reader what setup sweeper normal’s defensive core struggles with a lot. Some of these examples can be gouging fire / potentially chomp + hazards / urshifu / etc) Choice Specs Hisuian-Zoroark provides Fighting immune for the team while being able to check Ghost-, and Steel- types. Braviary can remove hazards for Hisuian-Zoroark while taking out Kingambit, and Choice Scarf Hisuian-Samurott. Choice Scarf Indeedee is another option which provides more support in the Fighting, Poison match up due to it's psychic typing and providing Psychic Terrain for the team which provides protection from priority moves. (the analysis will auto link the desc for psychic terrain but rather than explaining the hyperlink I think mentioning the specific examples on why you’d use indeedee for terrain since it’s so notable) Indeedee also blast away threats in terrain like Zamazenta, Mix Attack Valiant, and Clodisre with Expanding Force.

We voice called and I suggested a few changes such as moving Kingambit to OO and then swapping the emphasis etc. Maybe max max def hp in OO to scout scarf urshifu vs non urshifu turn 1. Great work 1/X. Omg I need some new stamps :(

Braviary is a good hazard remover for Normal teams due to its good bulk; Fighting neutrality which can comfortably Defog infront of foes like Sneasler, Meowscarada, and Landorus-T (Choice Scarf 2HKOs with Stone Edge while Bulk Up sets run Gravity/Smack Down).

Choice Scarf Indeedee is another option which provides more support in the Fighting, Poison match up due to it's psychic typing and providing Psychic Terrain for the team which provides protection from priority moves like Ice Shard from Mamoswine, Sucker Punch from Lokix, and Aqua Jet from Azumarill (Braviary isn't grounded in the terrain). Indeedee also blast away threats in terrain like Zamazenta, Mix Attack Valiant, and Clodisre with Expanding Force. (Mention Terapagos)

[Other Options]
Close Combat can be ran over U-Turn to check Steel-, Dark-, Rock-, and Normal types like Excadrill, Kingambit, Tyranitar, and Blissey. Doing so you would lack the momentum you get from U-turn which pivoting is crucial for Normal Teams; Due to the lost of Teleport on its Defensive Cores. (Move to first paragraph)

Braviary returns the favor by dealing with Choice Scarf users like Galarian Zapdos and Great Tusk for Blissey. Porygon2 is a nice defensive wall when paired with Braviary, being able to wall Ice-types (ah) like Baxcalibur and Mamoswine and stop setup users like Scizor, Gouging Fire, and Ceruledge with Foul Play. Calm Mind Ursaluna-B is a great teammate thanks to its Electric immunity and ability to break defensive walls like Zapdos, Toxapex, Clodsire, and Archaludon. In exchange, Braviary handles Meowscarada and Hisuian Samurott. Choice Scarf Ditto is an excellent revenge killer, being able to Transform into using its ability to flip the script on sweepers like Gouging Fire, Dragonite, and Keldeo to reverse sweep late-game. Choice Specs Hisuian Zoroark provides a Fighting immunity for the team while being able to check Ghost- and Steel-types like Gholdengo and Corviknight. Braviary can remove hazards for Hisuian Zoroark while taking out Kingambit and Choice Scarf Hisuian Samurott. Choice Scarf Indeedee is another option, which provides more support in the Fighting and Poison matchups due to its part-Psychic typing and ability to set up Psychic Terrain for the team. Indeedee can also blast away threats, (ac) such as Zamazenta, mixed offense Iron Valiant, and Clodsire, (ac) in Terrain (rc) like Zamazenta, mixed attacking Iron Valiant, and Clodsire, with Expanding Force. Calm Mind Terapagos, with its colorful moveset, can be a good teammate to pressure defensive Pokemon like Corviknight and Quagsire for Braviary.
