What are the pros and cons of Swellow and Braviary?

Nov. 11, 2019

Guts Swellow seems not bad, but Braviary has more bulk. And I don’t know how beneficial is Sheer Force + Life Orb to him. Maybe better Defiant? In the other hand, Swellow has more speed..

Just help…

Swellow

Pros -STAB Facade with GutsMore Speed then BraviaryOther coverage options/pivoting in U-turn, Pursuit, Steel WingSTAB Boomburst with Scrappy

Cons -Less attack to start with, wasting a turn to use Protect to get a Guts boostNot bulkyLess BSTWorse coverage options

Braviary

Pros -Very good STAB attacks in Return and Brave BirdMore useful coverage like Superpower, Rock Slide, etc.Pretty bulky, takes advantage of Substitute + Bulk UpBetter BSTPivoting with U-TurnBetter at using Roost

Cons -Slower than SwellowCan’t take advantage of Sheer Force

Honestly I think Braviary is better. It can’t use Sheer Force + Life Orb because it doesn’t have that good of attacks that take advantage of Sheer Force, so Defiant is usually better. Braviary has a lot more pros to use it, but it’s your choice.
