How to unlock Braviary in Pokemon Go

Rufflet is an uncommon spawn in the game but by catching many Rufflet, you can gather enough Candy to evolve it into Braviary. We recommend using Pinap Berries to get bonus Candy from each catch.

Is Braviary good in Pokemon Go PvP?

Braviary is pretty good in Pokemon Go PvP, but is far from the strongest option. It find use in the Great League and Ultra Leagues formats.

As a Normal/Flying-type, it is able to strongly resist Ghost and Ground-type moves. Such moves are very common in PvP, and Braviary is able to hold its own against them.

Best Braviary Pokemon Go PvP moveset

The best Braviary Pokemon Go PvP moveset is Air Slash as a Fast Move, and Rock Slide and Close Combat as Charged Moves.

Air Slash offers good energy gains to Braviary, helping it use its Charged Moves quickly. Rock Slide is very useful as it helps Braviary counter other Flying-types as well as Fire-types. Close Combat offers excellent coverage. However, it should be used carefully as it sharply decreases Braviary’s Defense stat.

Is Braviary good in Pokemon Go PvE?

Yes, Braviary is good in Pokemon Go PvE, particularly in Raid Battles. However, there are other Pokemon with better Attack stats that can deal more damage than Braviary.

Braviary has a decent Attack stat and so it is good against Raid Bosses that are weak to Flying-type attacks. But Braviary is not very bulky and so we recommend dodging during the Raid Battle to make sure that it doesn’t faint soon.

Best Braviary Pokemon Go PvE moveset

The best Braviary Pokemon Go PvE moveset is Air Slash as a Fast Move and Brave Bird as a Charged Move.

Brave Bird is one of the best Flying-type moves in the game and it pairs very well with Air Slash to dish out a lot of STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) damage.
