* In {{2v2|Black|White}}, Mandibuzz is one of five non-legendary Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Dex]] that is not used by any in-game [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainer]] outside of the [[Battle Subway]] and [[Battle Institute]]; the other four are its {{p|Vullaby|pre-evolution}}, {{p|Ferrothorn}}, {{p|Rufflet}} and {{p|Zweilous}}. As a result, it is impossible to get a 'seen' Pokédex entry for Mandibuzz in Pokémon White without trading with another player. <!-- Pokémon White 2 has trainer with Mandibuzz on Victory Road !-->

* Despite having its lowest stat in Special Attack, Mandibuzz awards Special Attack EVs when defeated.

Mandibuzz is based on an {{wp|Old World Vulture}} or the {{wp|California Condor}}. Its design also bears resemblance to stereotypical "savages" or {{wp|barbarian}}s. 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 {{v2|Black and White|s}}. When Mandibuzz was originally created by [[James Turner]], it was unrelated to {{p|Braviary}}, but it was later decided to use its design as a counterpart to Braviary.

Mandibuzz may be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:mandil|mandil]]'' and ''{{wp|buzzard}}''. It may also refer to ''{{wp|mandible}}''.
