Braviary Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, 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 Choice Scarf 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 Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, the core moveset is Bravebird, Superpower, U Turn, and Rock Slide. Bravebird leads at 0% usage. This set covers the wallbreaker role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
Since debuting in Black & White, Braviary has appeared in 9 titles over 6 generations. Along the way, it received a Hisuian form in Generation 8, keeping it relevant across different competitive metas.
