Braviary QC 0/2 GP 0/1

[TTK]

[OVERVIEW]
Braviary functions as a solid scarfer and bulky wincon using Bulk Up alongside its nearly unwallable coverage with STAB Brave Bird and Close Combat to be one of PU's best Flying-type Pokemon. It is able to threaten the dangerous Fighting-types in the tier like Toxicroak, Gallade and Scrafty with Choice Scarf and Bulk Up boosts its high Attack stat to allow it to threaten would be checks like Regirock and Rhydon instantly. Braviary also utilises its ability Defiant well to deter Defog attempts from Pokemon like Silvally formes and Articuno. Unfortunately, Braviary is outsped and pressured by common offensive threats such as Heliolisk, Archeops and Sneasel without a Choice Scarf. Furthermore, non Heavy-Duty Boots Braviary suffers from a Stealth Rock weakness and in addition to Brave Bird recoil, makes Braviary easy to break down.

[SET]
name: Choice Scarf
move 1: Brave Bird
move 2: Close Combat
move 3: U-turn
move 4: Facade
item: Choice Scarf
ability: Defiant
nature: Jolly
evs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
Choice Scarf allows Braviary to outspeed the entire unboosted metagame and lets it fire off its unresisted coverage in Brave Bird and Close Combat. Facade is run as a 4th option to make sure it can benefit from switching into Will-o-Wisps from the likes of Weezing and Talonflame. Due to Braviary's Stealth Rock weakness, it greatly appreciates hazard support from Pokemon such as Silvally-Steel and Alolan Sandslash. Both appreciate Braviary handling the multitude of Fighting-type pokemon in the tier like Passimian and Virizion; Silvally-Steel in particular being able to form a Voltturn core with Braviary using U-turn or Parting Shot, which lets Braviary get in safely. Wish support from Vaporeon is also handy to have to increase Braviary's longevity after multiple Brave Bird uses. Vaporeon is also able to check Regirock reliably, whose giant physical bulk lets it shave off Close Combat from Braviary.

[SET]
name: Bulk Up
move 1: Bulk Up
move 2: Brave Bird
move 3: Close Combat
move 4: Roost
item: Heavy-Duty Boots
ability: Defiant
nature: Jolly
evs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
Roost allows Braviary to have reliable recovery and allows it to have enough health to take hits. Heavy-Duty Boots is the item of choice in order to circumvent Braviary's rocks weakness, making it easier for it to setup against the meta. Silvally-Steel is a good partner for Braviary, using its Ice resistance to handle Choice Scarf Vanilluxe and Alolan Sandslash under hail. Silvally-Steel is also able to pivot in Braviary safely via U-turn or Parting Shot, allowing it to set up on slower Fighting-types like Hitmontop or passive defensive threats like Claydol. Hazard support from Mesprit is much appreciated and is vital chip for Braviary to break defensive switchins much easier like Palossand and Regirock. In addition to this, defensive Mesprit offers a slow U-turn to get in Braviary safely. Electric-types like Heliolisk and Togedemaru are massive threats to Braviary so Lanturn is a good partner alongside it thanks to its Electric immunity and slow Voltturn, which also pairs well with Mesprit. Furthermore, Braviary checks Grass-types like Tsareena and Alolan Exeggutor and sets up on them.

Choice Scarf allows Braviary to outspeed the entire unboosted metagame (add almost all of, remember Accelgor exists and is currently B- on the viability rankings) and lets it fire off its unresisted coverage in Brave Bird and Close Combat.

[OVERVIEW]
Braviary functions as a solid scarfer and bulky wincon using Bulk Up alongside its nearly unwallable coverage with STAB Brave Bird and Close Combat to be one of PU's best Flying-type Pokemon this sentence is confusing and all over the place. I'm gonna have you swap the order of the sets so BU should be mentioned before scarf but you couldn't have known that. BU is not a bulky wincon it's an offensive breaker with fairly middling bulk. and then the second half is just run on and reads weirdly. It is able to threaten the dangerous Fighting-types in the tier like Toxicroak, Gallade and Scrafty with Choice Scarf and Bulk Up boosts its high Attack stat to allow it to threaten would be checks like Regirock and Rhydon instantly I do not like the fusion of 2 completely different points in this sentence, it's again just very confusing to read because it jumps subjects without warning, and is undercooked for both. "scarf Braviary threatens fighters" is such a basic statement it has little reason to exist without more on top and BU isn't what makes Brav good vs Rock-types it's Close Combat. Plus Braviary doesn't "instantly" threaten Regirock/Rhydon, it still needs chip damage to win if it BUs on the switch . Braviary also utilises its ability Defiant well to deter Defog attempts from Pokemon like Silvally formes and Articuno. Unfortunately, Braviary is outsped and pressured by common offensive threats such as Heliolisk, Archeops and Sneasel without a Choice Scarf. Furthermore, non Heavy-Duty Boots Braviary suffers from a Stealth Rock weakness and in addition to Brave Bird recoil, makes Braviary easy to break down.

you do not get at what makes Braviary a good breaker or scarfer at all here and I do not want to write the overview for you. there's enough other stuff to handle that I wasn't stamping yet anyway but I would look back at this and think about what's important to know about Braviary and whether or not that's actually in this paragraph

[SET] swap this with bulk up, the better set is supposed to go first
name: Choice Scarf
move 1: Brave Bird
move 2: Close Combat
move 3: U-turn
move 4: Facade

[SET COMMENTS]
Choice Scarf allows Braviary to outspeed the entire unboosted metagame nope not accelgor and lets it fire off its near unresisted coverage in Brave Bird and Close Combat (rotom). Facade is run as a 4th option to make sure it can benefit from switching into Will-o-Wisps Will-O-Wisp from the likes of Weezing and Talonflame you dont want to actively switch into wisp, it's more so that you're not completely crippled. the framing is wrong. Due to Braviary's Stealth Rock weakness, it greatly appreciates would make this even stronger, "absolutely needs" or something hazard support from Pokemon such as Silvally-Steel and Alolan Sandslash dont use alolaslash as an example because it's a bad remover that's easy to check/block. if using Braviary you have to use really consistent removers. that's also not a bad point to make here. Both appreciate Braviary handling the multitude of Fighting-type pokemon in the tier like Passimian and Virizion; Silvally-Steel in particular being able to form a Voltturn core with Braviary using U-turn or Parting Shot, which lets Braviary get in safely in turning 2 sentences into 1 sentence this just becomes more confusing, you go "they like checking fighting types and in particular doing VoltTurn" which isn't the same thing at all. Wish support from Vaporeon is also handy to have to increase Braviary's longevity after multiple Brave Bird uses. Vaporeon is also able to check Regirock reliably, whose giant physical bulk lets it shave off Close Combat from Braviary. eh idrk if wish support is really what this wants. I'd rather mention breakers or more offensive mons capable of abusing stuff Braviary u-turns on. offensive partners are a much bigger deal than wish support and they're just missing fsr

[SET] moves before scarf
name: Bulk Up
move 1: Bulk Up
move 2: Brave Bird
move 3: Close Combat

[SET COMMENTS]
Roost allows Braviary to have reliable recovery and allows it to have enough health to take hits no this doesn't need a mention. I know it's weird not to talk about any of the moves but that's fine. Heavy-Duty Boots is the item of choice in order to circumvent Braviary's rocks weakness, making it easier for it to setup against the meta this sentence is fine and then there's this "against the meta" at the end and idrk what that is supposed to mean. Silvally-Steel is a good partner for Braviary, using its Ice resistance to handle Choice Scarf Vanilluxe and Alolan Sandslash under hail you already specifically mentioned this mon as a good partner for the other set, any other example would be better for variety. it's not even that great of a partner, you want pivots and ice checks in general but it's not like scarf luxe or slash under hail are common pains for Braviary at all. Silvally-Steel is also able to pivot in Braviary safely via U-turn or Parting Shot, allowing it to set up on slower Fighting-types like Hitmontop or passive defensive threats like Claydol yeah again this is not the teammate to go hard on. Entry Hazard support from Mesprit is much appreciated and is vital chip for Braviary to break defensive switchins much easier like Palossand rocks for Palossand? and Regirock would much rather mention spikes than rocks which are significantly more useful for Braviary, very confusing why having rocks to weaken Regirock is considered a big deal. In addition to this, defensive Mesprit offers a slow U-turn to get in Braviary safely yeah again mesprit is not a notable teammate whatsoever, this shouldn't be here. Electric-types like Heliolisk and Togedemaru are massive threats to Braviary so Lanturn is a good partner alongside it thanks to its Electric immunity and slow Voltturn, which also pairs well with Mesprit. Furthermore, Braviary checks Grass-types like Tsareena and Alolan Exeggutor and sets up on them. ok so you spent a lot of time on partners that aren't actually very notable. what you want is 1. the aforementioned Spikes setters 2. new pivots 3. mons that appreciate brav's breaking 4. rock type checks. plus anything else you can think of but I'm cutting out a majority of this paragraph so yeah
