Braviary is a large, avian Pokémon with dark red feathers on its back and dark blue feathers on its underside. Its tail feathers are red, turning to yellow, and then blue at the tips. Braviary's legs are long and thick with yellow feet that each have a digit facing backward, and three facing forward. Each digit is tipped by a short, thick, black claw.  

Braviary has a long, thick beak with a blue {{wp|cere}}. On either side of the cere are Braviary's eyes, which are black with small white pupils. Sprouting from above the eyes are three large, white feathers. At the base of the feathers is a red, three-pointed design that is spread across all three feathers. On each side of Braviary's face, sprouting out from behind the feathers on its forehead, are an additional three white feathers pointing horizontally and downward. Behind the three feathers on its head is a large plume of white feathers, extending most of the way down its neck. These features combined resemble a {{wp|Native American}} {{wp|war bonnet}}.

* Braviary and {{p|Rufflet}} can be seen as counterparts to {{p|Mandibuzz}} and {{p|Vullaby}}. Braviary and Mandibuzz share a base stat total of 510, evolve from their pre-evolutions starting at 54, and are both part {{t|Flying}}. Braviary and Rufflet are exclusive to {{game3|Black and White|White|s}} and {{game|Black and White|s|White 2|2}} while Mandibuzz and Vullaby are to Black and Black 2. Whereas Braviary and Rufflet can only be male, Mandibuzz and Vullaby can only be female.

Braviary is based on an {{wp|eagle}}. Some of its physical characteristics, such as the fully-feathered legs and the light-colored "crown" on its nape, are reminiscent of a {{wp|golden eagle}}. It also has feathers on its head that resemble {{wp|war bonnet}}s. Some species of eagle, such as the {{wp|Philippine eagle}}, possess a similar crest. It also resembles a {{wp|Native Americans in the United States|Native American}} warrior.

 

Though it contains aspects that lead to speculation of it being based on a {{wp|bald eagle}}, there are more similarities between it and the {{wp|Philippines|Philippine}} culture. It is an obvious fact that it resembles the {{wp|Philippine eagle}}, but there is more to that. It possesses the colors of the {{wp|Philippine flag}}. Its Japanese name, ''Warrgle'', may have also influenced its coloration. The Philippine flag, when turned upside down with the red part up, it indicates war. Additionally, {{p|Rufflet}}'s Japanese name is ''Washibon'' which was also derived from ''Haribon,'' the Filipino term for the Philippine eagle.

 

According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', Rufflet and Braviary were added early into the development of {{v2|Black and White|s}}.
