Move Detail

Brave-Bird Move Detail

Brave Bird is a Flying-type move with 120 power and 100% accuracy. It is a high-risk, high-reward move known for its strong offensive capabilities. The user, however, takes recoil damage equal to one-third of the damage dealt to the target. This recoil can be significant, especially when used against opponents with high HP. Brave Bird is commonly used by physical attackers that can withstand the recoil damage, and it is valued for its ability to break through defenses with its high base power. The move is often seen in competitive play, used by Pokémon such as Talonflame, Staraptor, and Corviknight due to their Flying-type STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) and strong physical attack stats.
