Brave Bird is a TR in the Galar games.
Zubat is grandafathered it looks like, but, yeah, Archeops and perhaps Aerodactyl are better fits for it.
Sky Attack's original name is God Bird, and, well, all 3 bats (hell, all 4, Gliscor gets it as well), Aerodactyl, Archeops, and even flightless birds got it in USUM...
A Suicide Lead is a Pokemon that you send out first and often mean to either set up or attack and then die or not last. For example, Galvantula's frail as fuck and will fold to any strong move. But you can slap a Focus Sash and use Sticky Web to set up a hazard then attack a bit before going down.
Rimbombee can do the same I think.
I remember Reborn using that very tactic in a particularly aggravating fight late game.
Wow I've been sleeping on the Galarian Star tournament. It's actually fun, especially when you limit your pokemon to 3 like everyone else. It can be fairly challenging too especially when you draw the Leon/Mustard team as an opponent.
Milo sucks though, don't choose him as a partner <_<

Kinda cross-posted from the anime thread (different source): a four part arc of the Journeys anime based off Legends: Arceus is coming exclusively to Amazon Prime, with the first half releasing on January 21st and the second half on January 28th.

"We're all paper, we're all scissors, we're all fightin' with our mirrors, scared we'll never find somebody to love."Which is funny because that also makes them convenient to set up on to sweep her whole team. I've seen multiple casual vtubers set up on Spiritomb and sweep her team while Smallant's underleveled lv56 Snorlax set up Curse on Gastrodon.
Anyway, has anyone noticed the Jirachi entry missing on the character sheet for hoenn Pokemon? I think someone accidentally removed it when moving the weather trio to their own page.

Water beats Electric.
Ramming against a brick wall.
A rare fire.

The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Speaking of Pseudo-Legendaries, it irks me when people think that they're actually a kind of legendary, when they're not. It's definitely the name that causes that confusion, and I'm guessing it originated from when Dratini was called a legendary in Gen 1 because the terminology hadn't been established yet. They're called the 600 club in Japanese according to that Bulbapedia article, which is a lot less ambiguous.

I know. I meant I've seen a few other people think that Pseudo-Legendary is a category of legendaries when it isn't. No need to be so harsh.

True, but the Dratini line were called "legendary" in the earliest days, such as the Safari Zone gun episode. As late as 2001, Dratini and Dragonair appear on a mural with all the legendaries as of Gen 2 in the "Ready Go" opening.note

@rhyme: Phew close call!
lol at archeops not learning brave bird because it's not brave. What is brave bird called in Japanese?
EDIT: apparently just brave bird.
