Revision as of 05:45, 8 September 2015
Mandibuzz (Japanese: バルジーナ Vulgina) is a dual-type Dark/Flying Pokémon.
It evolves from Vullaby starting at level 54.
Biology
Mandibuzz is a vulture-like Pokémon, particularly resembling a turkey vulture. It has a bare, pink head and neck, along with a notched black beak and red eyes. There are black eyelashes or eyeliner-like markings above its eyes. A long brown tuft with a bone in the middle extends from the back of its head. It has a tan ruff at the base of its neck, and shaggy darker brown wings with gray tips. Mandibuzz also has shaggy brown tail feathers. It has decorated itself with bones — a jaw with sharp teeth — to form a skirt. Its pink feet have black talons. Mandibuzz lives in nests made from the bones it finds. Weakened prey is dragged back to this nest after Mandibuzz swoops down on it from the sky. Mandibuzz is a female only species with no true male counterpart.

Trivia
- Mandibuzz has the highest base HP of all non-legendary Dark-type Pokémon.
- In Black and White, Mandibuzz is one of five non-legendary Pokémon in the Unova Dex that is not used by any in-game Trainer outside of the Battle Subway and Battle Institute; the other four are Vullaby, Ferrothorn, Rufflet, and Zweilous. As a result, Mandibuzz cannot be registered as "seen" in the Pokédex in White without trading.
- Despite Special Attack being its lowest stat, Mandibuzz awards Special Attack EVs when defeated.
- Mandibuzz and Vullaby can be seen as counterparts to Braviary and Rufflet. Mandibuzz and Braviary share a base stat total of 510, evolve from their pre-evolutions starting at level 54, and are both part Flying. Mandibuzz and Vullaby are exclusive to Black and Black 2 while Braviary and Rufflet are to White and White 2. Whereas Mandibuzz and Vullaby can only be female, Braviary and Rufflet can only be male.
Origin
Mandibuzz is based on an Old World vulture, most closely resembling a lappet-faced vulture with the prominent ruff of a white-rumped vulture. Its design also bears resemblance to stereotypical "savages" or barbarians. The row of teeth around its waist resembles an apron.
According to interviews with Ken Sugimori in Nintendo Dream, Vullaby and Mandibuzz were added late into the development of Black and White. When Mandibuzz was originally created by James Turner, it was unrelated to Braviary, but it was later decided to use its design as a counterpart to Braviary.
Name origin
Mandibuzz may be a combination of mandible or mandil and buzzard.
Vulgina may be a combination of vulture and regina (Latin for queen).
