It always survives a Volt Switch from standard Rotom after SR. It always survives a Stone Edge from defensive Lando. You can even use it to tank neutral hits if needed be, whereas Staraptor or Talon wouldn't be able to clutch some things. Honestly, Braviary is a decent choice because of how ridiculous the current state of things became.
Friendly reminder that if your opponent has Lando and Rotom, and decides to pussy out, here's what happens:
