Braviary is extremely aggressive, but for noble reasons. It is known for its bravery and pride, and will fight fiercely to help and protect its friends.

===Forms===
Braviary has an ancient regional form in Hisuian Braviary. In Hisui, Braviary grow even larger and have been known to be relied on by the indigenous people of Hisui for personal transport aross the skies. Their legs and undersides feature dark grey plummage while white feathers extend across their back, wings, and tail. Braviary's tail feathers are now shaped like a jet. The crest of feathers above its beak and now red has evolved into a formation that appears to be purple flames adorned with two light blue eye-like markings, altogether resembling aviator goggles. The mane of feathers behind this formation has grown more voluminous and fans upward.
Unlike their Unovan counterparts, Hisuian Braviary prefers to live alone instead of flocks. Hisuian Braviary travels to Hisui from the north during the winter season. When it hunts, it sends out bloodcurdling battle cries, which can be imbued with its psychic powers to generate shock waves. It uses these shock waves to stun prey living underwater in lakes, causing them to float to the surface, before it grabs them with its talons and rips them apart. Hisuian Braviary can use its psychic powers to heighten its sixth sense, as well as to enter a trance for a physical power boost.Hisuian Braviary | Pokémon Legends: Arceus Official Website
