Character Sheet: The Rufflet Line

RUFFLET/BRAVIARY

Next up, skipping over Bouffalant, we come to Rufflet and Braviary. While Pokemon themed around the real world region each new generation is based on would become a standard from Gen VII on, we would see traces starting all the way back in Gen V with this line specifically. Rufflet and Braviary are heavily based on bald eagles, with red, white, and blue color schemes, and even elements of Native American headdresses, all feeding into a thoroughly "American" picture.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Crush Claw

Side B: Aerial Ace > Air Slash

Up B: Wing Attack > Sky Attack

Down B: Whirlwind

Final Smash: Brave Bird > Superpower

Entrance: Poke Ball

Taunts: Screeching and flapping its wings, a "Unovan" flag appearing behind it, things like that.

Kirby Hat: Their head feathers and beaks

Kart: Just flying

Special Move: Brave Bird

Spirit Battle: On Castelia City

Victory Screen: Definitely with a "Unovan" flag flying behind it as it poses.

Losing Screen: Fainted

Color Swaps: Main, shiny, other general colors (maybe other flag colors, for fun)

Thanks for reading! Next up, Vullaby circles its prey!
