Where to obtain it in Black and White

Check the version and method columns before travelling. An encounter listed as a gift or stationary interaction does not mean Braviary appears in ordinary grass. Level ranges combine matching slots within the same recorded condition.

The following records are filtered to Black and White. The table preserves separate seasons and special conditions. These are documented locations, not a promise that every encounter is available at the start of the story.

Friendship evolution uses the original Generation V threshold. Trades require a compatible second game and system; trading an Everstone holder prevents the evolution.

A Hidden Ability in the data is not proof of an obtainable original-game specimen. Some Hidden Abilities were never released in Generation V; the starter Contrary/Reckless/Shell Armor slots and Litwick-line Shadow Tag cannot be treated as ordinary Black/White catches.

The No Eggs / Undiscovered group cannot produce Eggs. An Egg move must be inherited through an eligible parent in these original games; it is not automatically learned by every caught specimen.

Level 1 entries are starting or reminder moves, not a guarantee that a later caught specimen already knows all of them. Evolution timing can change which moves are learned before the evolved form takes over. The Move Reminder charges a Heart Scale.

FIELD NOTE

Use the exact Black or White method and condition before hunting Braviary. Event prerequisites and evolution-only species need a different collection plan from ordinary wild encounters.
