    • Braviary is a very good choice for a strong offensive flying type, Swadloon is a tank that can take a hit and usually with some boosts deliver some strong counter attacks.

    I would really choose out of those two to be honest.

    • Braviary? I think I will not be needing a flying-type for my team. But, if ever, what moveset shall I use for Braviary?

    - Brave Bird/ Sky Drop
    - Rock Slide
    - U-turn
    - Shadow Claw

    Is this okay?

    I'm open for more suggestions.

    • Braviary is better with this set:
    -Brave Bird/Fly
    -Return/Crush Claw (latter if you're using Sheer Force as an ability)
    -Superpower
    -Shadow Claw/Rock Slide (latter if you're using Sheer Force as an ability)
    Nature: Adamant/Jolly
    EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe (if you take EVs into account)

    For Samurott, since you're using a Rash nature (+Special Attack, -Special Defense), how about this?:
    -Surf
    -Ice Beam/Blizzard
    -Grass Knot
    -Megahorn

    • Can I use Waterfall over Surf, so as not to waste the Protein I fed Samurott?

    And do I have other choice aside from Braviary? Or is he the best choice for the team? Thanks!

    Click to expand...

    One protein won't really make a difference (other than in ev training and it really doesn't cost that much) so you could always go to Windswept Sky in the Dream World and get a Kelpsy Berry (aka the berry that reduces attack evs) if you're concerned about ev training. However, you'd be better off just using Surf for the added power that you get from the +spa nature and the actual base stats of spa being higher.

    Also if you don't want to use Braviary, you could always try something like Haxorus that hits hard and is fast straight off? :x Just ev it in speed and attack and it should be able to outspeed most of the dragons at the gym for super effective attacks (because trainers in-game don't ev train!)
