My third most meta mon;
Omastar
All moves relevant for hitting this bird would be Ice Beam and more Ice Beam because you clean 2HKO past anything braviary does as sub puts it 100% sure in range.
All other moves are irrelevant, just my standerd view of the moves it should try to run on SS, seriously try this mon more.

Timid Nature
Ability: Dry Skin

Heliolisk is a decent check to Braviary. Heliolisk can come close to OHKO'ing with thunderbolt, and even if it doesn't/Braviary has a sub up, Heliolisk can even eat a boosted brave bird if it needs to. Added bonus of this set is that if Braviary is weakened to below 50% but is still behind a sub, Heliolisk can bypass the sub with hyper voice and take it out wihtout needing to eat a hit.

This hunk of quartz always shuts Braviary down thanks to a lack of Superpower on Braviary's set and Continental Crish 1HKO's Braviary in retaliation. It easily sets up Stealth Rock in its face thanks to its good natural bulk and typing. Braviary also has to be cautious Roosting since then it's vulnerable to Superpower.

I would say this is a pretty underrated check for set up mons, especially like Braviary, as it's high defenses allows it to eat hits in the early stages of set up, and Roar the opposing Pokemon out. It doesn't specifically have to be this set, and to be honest I'm not exactly sure if Blastoise would even run this, but I know it would definitely run a phys. def set with Roar, so I think it makes it a great Sub Braviary check, especially since Braviary has no attack investment.

Pretty good offensive check to Dhelmise. You obviously don't want to take an Anchor Shot or Knock Off, but the resistance to Power Whip and immunity to Earthquake can be useful for potentially allowing Braviary to switch in, especially if Dhelmise is locked into either of the two previously mentioned moves.
Sneasel @ Choice Band
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Icicle Crash
- Knock Off
- Ice Shard
- Pursuit
Sneasel deserves a mention as an offensive check no matter the occasion as it has multiple ways of removing Dhelmise. From the ever so spamable Knock Off to evading the risk of a shady Colbur set to the ability to remove Dhelmise from the game with a well played Pursuit. This pokemon still holds to it's name as one of the scariest offensive pokemon in current meta.

Incineroar outspeeds and OHKOs with Flare Blitz. Can also switch into Anchor Shot and Knock Off as it takes little damage from those.

Xatu @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Magic Bounce
EVs: 252 HP / 196 Def / 60 Spe
Impish Nature
- Night Shade
- U-turn
- Roost

Mother Xatu stomachs Scald with ease and can damage Seismitoad with Night Shade. Magic Bounce lets the totem bird bounce back Stealth Rock and Toxic, completely nulifying the toad’s presence. A Scald burn can be a bit annoying, but doesn’t make Xatu any less of a check, in all honesty.

IT'S FINK DUMBASS
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 212 Def / 44 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Scald
- Toxic / Slack Off
- Rest
- Calm Mind
So this set basically outstalls Seis thanks to Rest, so it doesn't fear getting hit by a Toxic. If you want, you can hit Seis with your own Toxic as not to invite in other Pokemon for free without doing anything to Seismitoad, but if you really fear not having recovery other than Rest than you can run Slack Off as well.
