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 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 Native Americanwar bonnet.
Braviary is extremely aggressive, but for noble reasons. It will fight fiercely to help and protect its friends. Even if it is injured or has its life threatened, it will still fight. The more scars it has on its front, the more respect it gets from its peers. Scars on its back will bring it ridicule however. It has earned the nickname "hero of the skies" due to its extreme dedication for its friends. Aiding its valiance, Braviary is extremely strong, capable of lifting a car and flying with it. Braviary is known for its bravery and pride. It is usually seen as a motif for different emblems. However, due to its hotheaded and belligerent nature, Corviknight is chosen for transportation in Galar instead of Braviary.
In Hisui, Braviary's appearance is slightly changed. It has a grey and white feathered body. Braviary's tail is now shaped like a jet. The wings are shaped to resemble a white hand with black feathers underneath. The head feather is shaped like a hat. The plume have changed into purple flames with a light blue eye markings on them.
Unlike their Unova counterparts, Hisuian Braviary prefers to live alone instead of flocks. It can use its psychic powers to unleash eerie screeches capable of generating shock waves. Hisuian Braviary then uses its talons to grab and rip apart prey. Hisuian Braviary can enter a trance using its psychic powers in order to heighten sixth sense and physical power boost.[1]

Origin
Braviary appears to be based on the bald eagle. Its color scheme may also be inspired by the red, white, and blue of the flag of the United States. Additionally, its design may be influenced by Native American culture, which is apparently reflected in the feathers on its head, resembling war bonnets.[2]
Hisuian Braviary appears to be based on the Papuan harpy eagle, as evidenced by its larger size, contrasting dark and white plumage, and distinctive feather crest on his head. However, it is described as visiting the Hisui Region from the north in winter, just as the Steller's sea-eagle migrates to spend the winter in Hokkaido, upon which the Hisui and Sinnoh regions are based.
Name origin
Braviary may be a corruption of bravery, and combination of brave and aviary or eyrie. "Home of the brave" is a lyric found in the "The Star-Spangled Banner", the national anthem of the United States. Brave may also refer to the term used for Native American warriors, as in some tribes, the eagle is a sacred animal.
Warrgle may be a combination of war or warrior and eagle. It may also involve warble, a sound a bird makes.
