It's funny how you dropped this video on the reverse of the 4th of July.
damn I didn't even notice, that is pretty clever
Coincidence? I THINK NOT!
Wait what day is april 7th?

Unfortunately, Braviary is worse than its pre-evolution Rufflet in Pokemon Conquest solely because of bad move syndrome. While Rufflet has the standard Wing Attack, Braviary only has Sky Drop, which takes 2 turns to execute, and it also doesn't affect other flying types. Hilariously, Rufflet can have Celebrate as its third ability, which lets it move again after defeating a foe, so in the time it takes for Braviary to use Sky Drop, Rufflet can act up to four times.
I need someone to create a channel on Pokémon Conquest meta now pls
Sky Drop can also glitch out and just never come back down.
Counterpoint, Braviary is cooler and Sky Drop hits like a truck anyways. Masamune my goat wouldn't settle for less
Pokémon Conquest 2 is the only game that will make me buy a switch

Braviary be like:
Go home and be a Family Bird Pokemon!
Nice Guile reference
Does Braviary learn Sonic Boom?
Y'know, it's a tragic comedy when you think about Hisuian Braviary to Unovan Braviary: Braviary was once so intelligent it had psychic powers and could unleash them through its Esper Wings! Once it went to Unova though? It lost enough IQ points that it couldn't remain a Psychic-Type anymore...
Now it just concusses itself with Brave Bird and deters Intimidate/Defog with Defiant...😔
After seeing how brain dead American college students are I'm not surprised
God bless America. 🦅
Truly an American bird
No problem is so tough that you can't solve it by ramming your head into it continously!
I think it is a remarkable display of evolutionary pressures showing that unless that ESP capable mind is more adept at surviving and gaining more calories than it uses, the big dumb muscle will win.
Why do you think humans are so different from every other animal? Because our ancestors managed to get more calories out of their big brains, compared to the energy loss of having such great calculators.
Its signature move should be a flying version of Explosion.
Thats a Kamikaze. Wrong country :p
@@an3582 For the Hisuian version then.
Nah nah nah. Just make whatever Braviary brave birds explode
Tbh I am surprised they didnt with a defiant boosted choice band brave bird😂
@@an3582
Look at it like more "Independence Day-ish": diving into the Pokémon knowing you'll not gonna come out alive, but serving your -country- team by denting the opposing team via creating a breach in their defenses
Or better yet, give it Final Gambit. The move does fixed damaged, but it’s based on however much HP the user currently has. On a bulky bird like Braviary, very few Pokémon would be able to survive it.
"if Arceus had wanted you to LIVE he would NOT have created ME"
Flying type explosion would be fitting, equilizer taunt and all
(Upon spotting Arcanine) "C'MERE CUPCAKE!" *BOOM*
Braviary:
"AMERIKUH! F*** YEAH!" The Pokémon.

Funny how I’m currently trying to marathon the whole show now. Right now, I’m still within that “Jeff in space” arc.
I'm still surprised Ash did not get a Braviary during BW's run, especially considering it's dex entry. Instead they gave him the beyond forgettable unfeazant
Ash wasnt chad enough to get Braviary
No need to throw shade to the pheasant, it's really cool too
Ash always caught the early route bird and then got its evolution. There was no way he *WASN'T* going to get Unfeazant.
@@JCBro-yg8vdexcept in Alola because he got Rowlett. And Journeys just threw all the rules out the window and gave him a bunch of stupidly strong Pokémon right out of the gate.
@@JCBro-yg8vd they broke trends for Ash before so I wouldn't say it was 100%
How DEFIANT was Braviary ACTUALLY?
I wouldnt call it defiant but its sheer force is incredible
I remember seeing Braviary in a Black and White commercial and thinking, "OMFG! WANT! WANT! WANT!". And went I into Pokemon Black, catching a Pidove thinking it was Braviary's first stage.
You can only imagine my sheer disappointment when I saw (female) Pidove's ACTUAL final evolution, on top of Braviary being exclusive to White.
And just to add salt to the wound, it's a late-game encounter found in Victory Road that evolves at level FIFTY FOUR
Thankfully they fixed this in White 2 by making it an early-game static encounter that would most likely be around the same level as your current team around that time
Still waiting for the counterparts to complete:
- Carracosta
- Serviper
- other gen 5 monkeys
- Gothitelle
And I guess we could finish up Gen 2 with Sunflora, Magcargo and Corsola. I think those are the only gen 2 Pokemon left to wrap it up.
Yeah man I can't wait for the 5h Serviper + Madibuzz dual video 😂😂
The gothitelle video about to be 2 minutes long bc it's banned in every format because of shadow tag lol.
@@x7251z You're also forgetting Drifblim in that pool as well.
Buddy they haven’t done Amoonguss yet…
He did a mandibuzz video already.
Braviary's gen 5 sprite might be my favorite sprite in pokemon.
I've always found it really funny that the American bird is a suicide bomber while the Japanese cat gets pay day.
Braviary drone striking civilians in PU 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Braviary ran bulky Defog mainly in NU.. It ran offensive sets in PU though
WHAT THE HELL IS A KILOMETER?!!!!???????!!!!!!
A superior form of measurement.
@@joshuavanderrheede4469 barbecue sauce packets better ngl
I think it’s a mythical pokemon.
Is that a reference to something?
@@TheBestFormOfHumor nah chilli sauce is better
'Braviary topple the British'
The Rolycoly line: Are you sure about that?
Braviary has always been one of my favourite bird mon. It's usually a right pain to get one since Rufflet evolves so late, but the one on Route 4 in White 2 has always been a playthrough staple of mine. Just don't tell it where your region keeps their oil reserves.
The early-game static encounter Braviary is the sole reason I got White 2 over Black 2
Oh yes, my favorite flying type ever. I have a pair called Achilles and Patroclus (normal and hisui) and I love them to dead
Hopefully Braviary will keep appearing.....since so far seems like he is popular enough to keep appearing in games, even withour his counterapart Mandibuzz. God Bless America 🦅🇺🇸
What did you name Hector?
@@adolfojuangarcia1906nothing. I dont like Hector tbh,specially after everything he wanted to do to Patroclus (you know, dragging him with a chariot, dismembering him and feeding the parts to his dogs while he put the head in the walls of Troy because he was jealous of Achilles THAT much)And he comes off as a self serving envious hypocrite who also defended his brother for kidnapping and r4ping someone else's wife
Also, he sounds like the type of guy that would have a drug cartel in New Mexico and kill minorities because he felt like it😂. Tbh if I hadnt named my galarian slowking after my best friend, "Walter" would had also been fitting
Jesse, we need to cook
Here's a great way to remember the spelling of everyone's favorite Pokemon:
R for Relicanth.
E for Everybody loves Relicanth.
L for Look! It's Relicanth!
I for I love Relicanth.
C for Can't get enough Relicanth.
A for A great Pokemon, Relicanth!
N for Nobody dislikes Relicanth.
T for Thanks GameFreak, for Relicanth!
And H for How Good Was Relicanth Actually?
The commitment 😢
Bellsprout used Vine Whip!
I need to find a tier where Relicanth is viable because I’m gonna nickname it Robert Loggia lmao
I support this because of your comment
Relicanth is like
The type of pokemon i never think about on my own but that i love unconditionally when i am brought to think of it
As an American I can confirm that we will all die if cheeseburgers were removed from our diets
If the mexicans stop cooking meth our GDP will drop by at least 50%. Much dire than quitting cheeseburgers
Yeah so sorry you had to witness the comment section as well...
I feel the cringe you may have felt.

Also American, can confirm as well
Not me! I’ve gone vegan.

bkc had a little fun with this one i see :)
WE LOVE MERICA BIRD ‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤
Im revisiting this series after a while and im not gonna lie, this has got to be one of the BEST intros ive heard from in a while😂
Murica hell yeah! Braviary: is my favorite Flying Type Pokemon the only thing I would change about it is that I would lower the level needed to evolve Rufflet.
Very true. I caught a Rufflet in my Ultra Sun playthrough, only to realize it evolves at the absurdly high level of FIFTY FOUR! Now I love Braviary, it's my favorite bird mon, but I am NOT waiting until late-game for it to evolve. Also I was devastated when I found out it was exclusive to White/White 2, and the version I had originally was Black Version. Fixed this mistake with the sequels by getting White 2 instead of Black 2, and now I have a Braviary on my team thanks to it being an early-game static encounter in White 2.
GameFreak certainly didn’t want to make it easy for players to get the secondary flyer of Gen 5 since, much like Mandibuzz, Rufflet doesn’t evolve until level 54 for a two stage Pokémon. Plus it’s likely Hisuian Braviary evolved out of being part psychic type after Sneasel changed from a poison/fighting type to a dark/ice type thus rendering Hisuian Braviary’s psychic typing no longer viable in catching Sneasel in Hisui.
Rufflet*
gen 5 bird is pidove
Much like Pyroar in Gen 6, Braviary was one of the few 'mons that made me want to get Black & Black 2 - it's plain, but it looks cool. Pokémon that look like this are my favorites because of that.
"And how does it not learn Explosion GameFreak" lmaoooooo
MURICA! F*** YEAH!
I'd love to see coverage on stuff like ZU, because ZU, while not an official tier, is still very interesting.
This intro is glorious !
I never get tired of these. Thank you guys for producing this high quality content consistently for so long now, and hopefully a long time to come.
Braviary should learn bullet seed and bullet punch
Upon learning Bullet Seed it evolves in to Rambo.
I am extremely happy that one of my favorite Pokemon actually had a good competitive history! 😢🎉
I fell in love with this Pokemon ever since I saw it in Gen 5.
I've been trying to make some teams based around him since Gen 8 and healing about his competitive history in Gen 7 made me so happy they gave me the motivation to make VGC team around Him.
Thank You Sir For Making this series and thank you SO MUCH for talking about one of my favorite Pokemon. ❤
WHAT THE FCK IS A KILOMETERRRRRRRRR
Raaaaaaaaaaah!!!! 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
woooow that intro was a comedic masterpiece!
It completely slipped my mind that you guys didnt do Braviary yet :D Great Video as Always! Would you create a Playlist of your Videos in Dex-Order? That would make it easier to see which mons you did and which you didnt yet
And as always, proud at home much your videos improved since the beginning, keep up the good work!
I know the FSG team doesn’t take ZU (the tier below PU) into consideration, since it isn’t an official tier yet, but if it makes you Braviary fans happy, Gen 9 Braviary patriotically crushed ZU so hard to the point of being banned to ZUBL.
Gen 6 Choice Band Braviary is the most American thing I have ever seen.
"WHAT THE FKK IS A KILLLOMETREEE???? *gun noises" ahh pokemon
Mandibuzz should’ve also got a Hisuian form as well
It'll get a ballsackian form soon trust
Vultures can be found in France, so hopefully in Legends Z-A! 🤞
When a Pokemon with Intimidate appears on the battlefield, the Unova Pokerap's "BRAVIARY IS NOT AFRAID" line pops into my head. Gotta be one of my favorite birbs fr fr
I don't even like competitive pokemon but i really enjoy these videos
Gasp, my eagle son! 🥹 loved Braviary since Black and White and will continue to love him till the end of time. Peak bird Pokémon in my opinion.
Caught a Braviary in my White 2 playthrough that I nicknamed 'Patriot' and I enjoy using him so much
Ah yes, Unova is definitely based on America; with our samurai dogs, emperor boars, and shoganate snakes.
And whatever the Therian things are
It is literally based on New York lmao, the Pokémon designs aren't always reflective of the real-world region. They added the T. Rex to France, the orangutan to Hawaii, and ofc a lot of the dragons from Gens 1-4 are western-style dragons rather than the traditional Japanese style dragons
Hey, if they live in America, they’re American
@@kadabraguy9846 Okay but Hoenn has literal burgers, dogs and iirc pizza and is more american than Unova cutlurally and aesthetically.
@@dave9515 what? None of those things are present in the Hoenn games
IT'S FUTILE!!!🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
Muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5 minutes after my lunch, Arceus dammit!
You know, I am glad that I trained a Unovan Braviary before this video came out. It was really fun using it in WiFi battles. It's unfortunate that it became untiered late into Gen 9, but it's nice to see that it enjoyed the ride while it lasted.
"And from that day forward anytime a bunch of Pokemon are together in one place it's called a DAYCARE!
UNLESS ITS A MASS OUTBREAK"
'MURICA! F**K YEAH! WE DONT KNOW WHAT GEOGRAPHY IS YEAH!"
What a fun birthday present, thanks for covering the most American Pokémon of all the Pokémon. This thing saved me against Leon in my Sword playthrough, being the last mon standing on my team.
I love this pokemon design so much i remember finding it on black2 i think? But i was big hyped dude looks so cool!
It was probably White 2. The Braviary line is exclusive to White and White 2
Ah, yes, the "Resistance is futile, I have Defiant" Pokemon.
Now this is a glow up pokemon.
That being said. IM PROUD that i acrually dis the bulk up set long before it became popular.
Salute to our American bird Pokemon!
F YEAH, BRAVIARY!
For his neutral special, he has a gun!
Favorite Unova mon right here. I used one in my recent playthrough of White 2 that I nicknamed 'Patriot'.
Haxorus, Bisharp, Excadrill, and Volcarona are also some of my favorites from Unova as well
To add to Dynamax Braviary, it would run Hustle for the Choice Band level boost of 50% attack in exchange for the 80% accuracy modifier. Because Max Moves can never miss, meaning every move was basically a free 50% boost. Braviary was even cracked in VGC, even though it ran Defiant to counter Intimidate, since speed control is everything in doubles, so Braviary Max Airstream was spammed by everyone. Also, Max Knuckle coming off of Close Combat or Superpower was great to threaten sweeps and boost its doubles partner, much like Max Airstream.
Only Rufflet has Hustle.
FREEDOM!
If only Dookieshed Didn't leave TH-cam. He'd be the perfect narrator for this episode.
He's such a cool and funny dude. I miss him :(
Script was on point for this one!😂😂
amazing how the first few seconds of the video is kellen just roasting Unovans
Ah perfectly uploaded on 07/04 for Independence day
It dealt 70% to Registeel in gen 6 because it found out that the Regis were in control of massive oil reserves
The "America **** yeah" pokemon.
That intro had me dying 😂💀
Hisuian Braviary had me worried about its strength because of how much higher Unovan Braviary's attack stat is, but they gave it two great abilities to offset the lower offensive stat through near unstoppable coverage or just instantly smacking everything it looks at
Loved Braviary as my main Dynamax Pokemon. My first egg shiny and my first arceus shiny. My #3 favorite Pokemon
the Apex Predator that never drops tiers, it only goes where the food is ripe.
FINALLY, MY FAVORITE POKEMON!
Let's see how good he really was.
I had no idea Braviary was this good. Always assumed it was one of those Pokémon they were untiered every Gen.
Can’t wait for the eventual Lilligant video
the last thing I was expecting on this channel was this guy talking about its always sunny in Philadelphia
not complaining just surprised
I missed out on Braviary when I first got into pokemon with black in 2010. I didn't even get a friend to help me get it. After a long break starting in 2014, I came back in gen 8 and I have loved Braviary ever since, it's my favourite flying type. While I do prefer the original form, Hisuian Braviary is also awesome especially with it's unique move and phenomenal shiny.
11:52 I find it interesting he made 3rd place with Seaking and Flareon in his team.
Took a second to get why it was this specific date, but it’s a very good bit
Ah yes my favorite flying type
It's so.
Interesting seeing pokemon that's are so integral to a lower teir metagame yet never hit the BL
Dragalge, magcargo, drifblim or rotom and all of his forms! 💪💪💪
Can't wait for the Braviary - Helldivers 2 crossover
Just hatched a couple Rufflets in Y after watching this
just now realizing we've never gotten a How GOOD was Rotom ACTUALLY?
Love the always sunny philly reference. Hilarious
How to improve Braviary:
Of the top of my head, maybe something like Moxie and access to Outrage?
Finally the Goat
Wake up babe, new FSG video dropped
I ran Braviary on my early gen 8 vgc teams and it was so friggin good. Having a bulky tailwind setter that wouldn't instantly die and kept intimidators out made for an amazing partner to physical attackers. I personally liked it with Grimsnarl for screens. Made my mons basically impossible to KO and allowed Braviary more space with Close Combat.
RU mons: why won’t you die!!!!!!!
Braviary: EV investment son
Good to see that Braviary did well
the most badass set of any pokemon I've ever seen was the sheer force mixed attacking braviary some guy hit me with in low ladder. I was so baffled when it completely destroyed my team with full odds hurricanes and heat waves.
Back in gen5 I liked a casual hone claws sheer force set with crush claw and rock tomb
Damn already got shade being thrown at the imperial measurement system less then 20 seconds in the video
Also gonna be interesting to see what a Pokémon based on the Wedge-Tailed Eagle looks like
A couple years ago I tried to shiny hunt the one from white 2 with its hidden ability since it happened to have its weekly spawn to occur on the 4th of July. I unfortunately was unsuccessful since I wasn’t able to allocate a lot of time to it, but I at least wanted to try and see if I could get lucky 😅
As a British man that intro offended me.
My favorite Adrenaline Orb Defiant user. Landorus never saw it coming.
