Top Hisuian Braviary Counters

Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Hisuian Braviary counters as such:

  • Mega Gengar: Lick, Shadow Ball
  • Mega Tyranitar: Smack Down, Brutal Swing
  • Shadow Tyranitar: Bite, Brutal Swing
  • Mega Diancie: Rock Throw, Rock Slide
  • Shadow Weavile: Snarl, Avalanche
  • Shadow Raikou: Thunder Shock, Wild Charge
  • Mega Banette: Shadow Claw, Shadow Ball
  • ShadowMagnezone: Volt Switch, Wild Charge
  • Mega Manectric: Thunder Fang, Wild Charge
  • Xurkitree: Spark, Discharge Shadow

It is recommended to power up your counters as much as possible, but creating that amount of strong Shadow Pokémon with their moves unlocked is a tall order for even the most practiced players. Here are ten additional non-Shadow and non-Mega counters that can help take down Hisuian Braviary with efficiency.

  • Zekrom: Charge Beam, Wild Charge
  • Mega Tyranitar: Smack Down, Brutal Swing
  • Hydreigon: Bite, Brutal Swing
  • Therian Forme Thundurus: Volt Switch, Thunderbolt
  • Gholdengo: Hex, Shadow Ball
  • Rampardos: Smack Down, Rock Slide
  • Rhyperior: Smack Down, Rock Wrecker
  • Darkrai: Snarl, Dark Pulse
  • Origin Forme Giratina: Shadow Claw, Shadow Force
  • Weavile: Snarl, Avalanche

How Many Trainers Are Needed?

Hisuian Braviary can be defeated by solo players, but if you cannot guarantee the top counters with maxed-out CP and the best moves, your best bet is to make sure you have two players. Using the Circle Lock Technique to guarantee Great or Excellent throws, along with Golden Razz Berries, is the best way to catch Pokémon.

Shiny Odds

The Shiny rate for Hisuian Braviary is a boosted rate of likely one in 60.

Happy raiding, fellow trainers! Be sure to check back on Bleeding Cool for daily updates on all things Pokémon GO.
