Brave Bird is a Flying-type move introduced in Generation IV. It can be seen as a Flying-type counterpart to Flare Blitz.

Description

Games	Description
DPPtHGSS BWB2W2	The user tucks in its wings and charges from a low altitude. The user also takes serious damage
XYORAS SMUSUM SWSH	The user tucks in its wings and charges from a low altitude. This also damages the user quite a lot.

Effect

In Battle

Brave Bird does damage at the expense of causing recoil damage, which is 1/3 of the damage dealt to the opponent.

Calculating the recoil damage after it hits:

$\nu _{BraveBird}=\beta _{currentHP}-{\frac {rand(120)}{3}}$

Where:

• ν (nu) is the damage recoil calculation
• β_current (beta) is the user's current HP
• rand(120) is the randomised damage from Brave Bird between 1 to 120.
