Trivia
- Blaziken is the only Pokémon to learn Brave Bird that is not of the Template:Type2, while the Zubat evolution family are the only Pokémon to learn it that aren't based on birds.
- Sky Attack and Brave Bird share similar in-game animations; the only major difference is that where the former has a blue aura, the latter's is red.
