Questions people ask

Is Braviary good in Pokemon GO?
Not for battle. Braviary has no ranked PvP, raid or Max Battle role, so keep one for the Pokedex and transfer the rest.
Should I keep or transfer Braviary?
Braviary has no job in PvP, raids, or Max Battles. Keep one for the Pokedex, and transfer the rest for candy.
Is Braviary a good raid attacker?
Braviary ranks #36 of 238 flying attackers with 14.2 DPS. That is outside the top 15, so it is not a raid priority.
Can Braviary be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Yes. Shiny Braviary is available from evolution, photobomb, raid, research, wild. A shiny is worth keeping for the collection no matter its IVs.
