Likely tier: Underused

Answer 1

A very interesting Pokemon, but can it beat Honchkrow? I say with those low stats, it will have to work very hard.

Ability: Pidgeon Heart

EVs: Sp Attack, Speed, Defense Nature: Calm

Nasty Plot: Makes this guy able to actually do damage. I love this move. I say put it on anyone who can get it. It can easily set this up.

Roost: Is rare now. A valuable addition.

Dark Pulse: STAB power.

Air Slash: STAB power.

Answer 2

Mandibuzz (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Overcoat
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Toxic
- Roost
- Protect
- Fly

Answer 3

I LOVE MANDIBUZZ SO MUCH

Mandibuzz (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Big Pecks
EVs: 252 HP / 48 Atk / 36 Def / 172 SDef
Sassy Nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Brave Bird
- Roost
- Payback
- Iron Defense

This gal makes for an amazing wall in RU.It can take a Stone Edge and Hi Jump Kick from Hitmonlee pretty well and we all know how common they are in RU. Set up a few Iron Defenses and this guy is nearly impossible to take down with any physical attack.Paired with Big Peck nobody can take you down a notch when you do get those Defenses up. The nature lowers the Speed so you can use Payback more efficiently+ STAB equals a hard hitting move against any pokemon. Roost is to heal off any damage you taken from setting up and Brave Bird. Brave Bird may cause a lot of recoil but with Roost its really not that big of a problem, and its of course STAB.

Mandibuzz, the Skarmory of RU.

Knock Off over Payback.

---

Ill try Knock Off

---

lol theres a big flaw to ur amazing mandibuzz and that is almost every steel type
and if i trained an aggron with head smash aint no mandibuzz gonna live that even if u used iron defense

---

Actually:

252Atk Choice Band Heavy Metal Aggron (+Atk) Head Smash vs 252HP/36Def Leftovers +2 Mandibuzz (+Def): 72% - 84% (306 - 360 HP). Guaranteed 2HKO.

Still lives.

Answer 5

Ability: Overcoat
Nature: Impish/Careful
*Brave Bird
*Roost
*Toxic
*Taunt

Answer 6

abiltiy: big pecks (you don't want the defense to be ruined)

moves:

toxic: let them be badly poisoned while you withstand the moves (better to start in battle)

whirlwind: bring out another pokemon to poison

protect/rest: give extra time for them to be hurt by poison OR heal and let them lose health

fly: STAB and while in the air, the foe is hit by poison

Answer 7

This is a set I found while poking around PO:
Mandibuzz (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Overcoat
EVs: 104 HP / 216 Def / 188 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Dark Pulse
- Tailwind
- Toxic
- Roost
Ev's give it more bulk and make both Defenses hit 300. Dark Pulse gives STAB, and has the usefulness to be used if you have been Taunted. Tailwind raises team speed, so this guy is a Staller, Wall, and Support all rolled into one! Toxic is standard for every Staller, and Wall to boot. Roost is recovery in Flying form.

Answer 8

Phazer

Item: Leftovers
Ability: Overcoat
Nature: Impish
EVs: 252 Defense, 252 S.Defense, 6 Hp

---

Whirlwind

Roost

Substitute or Toxic

Punishment

---

This is an anti-stat booster set, as everyone knows stat boosters can be exceedingly frustrating but Mandibuzz can take care of that. Whirlwind blows the Pokemon and it's boosts away. Roost is for healing. Substitute prevents the foe from hurting you which is very useful, but if you do not have Toxic-spikes support on your team Toxic can be useful. Punishment is there not only there for STAB and so Taunt does not ruin you, but because it hits hard on Stat boosters with an extra +20 base-power per boost starting at 60 Base-power.

Use with Entry hazard support for Maximum effectiveness.

Answer 9

Mandibuzz @ Leftovers/Red Card
Trait: Overcoat
EVs: 252 HP / 200 Def / 56 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Brave Bird
- Payback
- U-turn
- Roost

This guy has incredible bulk, slow speed to Payback does double power.
