Answer 1

Braviary (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Sheer Force
EVs: 116 HP / 252 Atk / 140 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Crush Claw
- Rock Slide
- Brave Bird
- Tailwind

Why not Superpower instead of rock slide because that deals with Ice and Rock type or superpower instead of tailwind....no....? Your the master Trachy!

---

Trachy, why did you hide one of my comments? This is my first day, so don't be mean . Please respond.

---

BlazikenX, go on Chat.

---

I hid your comments because they were taking up the entire page of questions, pushing away actual questions and answers. This caused users to complain, so in keeping up with my position as Mod, I cleared up things by hiding your comments. And anyways, those comments were on questions over a year old. Nobody would be reading them. Had they been more recent ones, within a week old, there would have been no problem.

So two things:
1. Try to keep your comments and possibly any answers you have to more recent questions.
2. Please do not spam comments.

Answer 2

Wargle (Braviary) (M) @ Leftovers

Trait: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bulk Up
- Brave Bird
- Rock Slide
- Shadow Claw

Note-only for NU battling environment only

This guy worked surprisingly well as a physical tank. Bulk up is for earning the title of "tank", brave bird is STAB backed by good HP and leftovers, Rock Slide and shadow claw is good coverage. Adamant is to make him ridiculously powerful. 252 EVs in HP give him great bulk for a bird paired in with Bulk up.

Answer 3

Braviary (M) @ Sharp beak
Trait: Sheer Force
EVs: 116 HP / 252 Atk / 140 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)

Brave bird
Fly
Superpower
Crush claw

This is a pretty good move set.Especially if it used a flying type move it will be boosted by sharp beak.Superpower for coverage against ice and rock.Crush claw is for stab.

Comments

Fly is way too predictable. Having 2 strong flying moves is overkill also.

---

Superpower isn't as useful as you'd think if it's not paired with Bulk Up or another move that can power up the lost stats. Otherwise, You'll have to switch out once you use Superpower. It weakens both Attack and Defense, Braviary's best stats.

Answer 4

I personaly like this moveset for Braviary:

Item: Leftovers
Ability: Defiant
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 Hp
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)/ Jolly nature (+Spd -SAtk)
-Brave Bird (STAB)
-Roost (Recovery)
-Return (STAB)
-Superpower(Coverage)

Hope you like it.

Answer 5

Braviary is completely overlooked. Highly underestimated as well. If trained and used correctly, it can dominate its competition with overwhelming power. Personally, Braviary is my favorite.

Braviary: Physical Sweeper
Item: Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
Nature: Adamant (+Atk,-SpAtk), Jolly (+Spd,-SpAtk)
Characteristic: +Attack or +Speed
Moveset:
Brave Bird/Sky Attack - STAB, powerful, though it takes recoil from both Life Orb and the move itself, the real damage is done to your opponent/STAB, boost from Sheer Force and Life Orb, no recoil, more power than Brave Bird but a two turn attack
Crush Claw - Utterly powerful with STAB, boost from Sheer Force, and Life Orb, no recoil
Rock Slide - Coverage, bonus power from both Sheer Force and Life Orb, no recoil
Hone Claws - Makes Rock Slide and Crush Claw more accurate and boosts power of all moves

Comments

why crush claw??? with sheer force, it wont lower defense, and it isnt fully accurate.    An even better move would be return.  It has a base power of 102 if you have full happiness which is even better than the 97.5 of crush claw.

---

Um, as return will always vary in power. eg: braviary is battling. foe uses a move and faints braviary in one hit (OHKO). braviary looses some happiness. You revive braviary. The happiness is lower than it would have cus it fainted, so return would be less powerful every time braviary faints. >_<

Answer 6

Item = Leftovers
Trait = Sheer Force
EV's: 252 Atk, 252 Spd and 4HP
Moveset:
Superpower: Coverage
Bulk Up: To make up for loss of stats from Superpower
Brave Bird: Works with Leftovers + STAB
Crush Claw/Retaliate/Shadow Claw: Overall, good moves for Braviary to learn

Comments

Don't forget the EVs ;D

Why is that braviary shiny?

---

That is a stupid question.

What? Why?

Answer 7

Braviary (M) @ Choice Band / Scarf

Trait: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Jolly (+Spd, -SAtk) / Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Brave Bird
- Return / Crush Claw
- Superpower
- U-turn

Answer 8

One of the best Flying types. Next to Rayquaza c;

Ability: Sheer Force

• Bulk Up
• Crush Claw
• Sky Attack
• Superpower

Okay, I just want to say right off, I DIDN'T choose Brave Bird because it's not as powerful as Sky Attack. True, Sky Attack is a two-turn move, but paired with Sheer Force, it makes for the ultimate STAB. Bulk Up at the start of battle to up Attack and Defense; Defense for enduring when you power up Sky Attack. Crush Claw is great with Sheer Force; another perfect STAB. Accuracy is decent, too. Superpower for type coverage. I'd suggest Bulking Up before using Superpower, so you're not wasting time making up for lost stats when you could be KO-ing c:
