Trivia

 * Braviary has the 2nd highest attack stat (123) of all non-legendary bird based Pokémon, with the highest attack belonging to Honchkrow (125).
 * Before being revealed that the Unova region was based on America, many Pokémon fans considered Braviary's Bald Eagle-esque appearance as evidence that the games were based there.
 * Braviary is August in the Pokémon Horoscope, the same date as the Coro Coro issue it was revealed in.

Origin
It is most likely based on a Bald Eagle, one of the national symbols of the United States, or a Golden Eagle.
