Mandibuzz (Japanese: バルジーナ Barujiina) is a Dark/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It is Braviary's female counterpart.

Biology

Physiology

Mandibuzz is a birdlike Pokémon that resembles a vulture or buzzard. Its head and neck are featherless and pink, with a gray beak, while its body is covered in dingy brown ruffled feathers. It has slightly squinted eyes with dark eyeshadow-like markings and red pupils, and it appears to be grinning mischievously, giving it a sinister look. It has a ponytail-like tuft of feathers atop its head, adorned with a small bone. It has a sandy brown ruff of feathers around its neck, and a skirt made of bones around its waist. Its legs and talons are pinkish with sharp black claws.

Mandibuzz is a female-only species of Pokémon. Braviary is its male counterpart.

Evolution

Mandibuzz is the evolved form of Vullaby as of level 54.

• Moon

  It circles in the sky, keeping a keen eye out for Pokémon in a weakened state. Its choicest food is Cubone.

• Ultra Sun

  It skillfully arranges the bones of its prey to construct its nest. Most of the bones are Cubone.

• Ultra Moon

  It's always searching for food for Vullaby. When it finds a weak Pokémon, Mandibuzz swoops it right off to its nest.

• Sword

  Although it's a bit of a ruffian, this Pokémon will take lost Vullaby under its wing and care for them till they're ready to leave the nest.

• Shield

  They adorn themselves with bones. There seem to be fashion trends among them, as different bones come into and fall out of popularity.

Trivia

• No Trainer in the Generation V games uses a Mandibuzz. As a result, the player must evolve Vullaby themselves or get a Mandibuzz in a trade if they want to have Mandibuzz available in the Pokédex.
• Mandibuzz appears in PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond, where the player must give them 30 Everflames to access Thundurus' shrine.
• Mandibuzz and its pre-evolution, Vullaby, are the only Dark-type Pokémon with a 100% female gender ratio.

Origin

Mandibuzz is based on a vulture, condor, or buzzard. As opposed to Braviary's influence being on the modern nation of America, with some influences from pre-historic America, Mandibuzz seems to be based off barbarians or a "cavewoman". Its behavior asnd gender ratio could be inspired from harpies. The jawbone that it wears resembles an apron.

Etymology

Mandibuzz comes from "mandible" (the name for the lower jawbone) and "buzzard".

Its Japanese name, Barujīna, comes from "vulture" and regina (Latin for "queen").
