Vullaby (Japanese: バルチャイ Valchai) is a dual-type Dark/Flying Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Vullaby resembles a baby vulture. It has a plump, stout body, tiny wings, and stumpy feet. Its neck is short and supports a round head devoid of any feathers except for an enormous crest on the top. It seems to be wearing a broken skull as a diaper-like undergarment, hence its species name.
Gender differences
Vullaby is a female-only species. Rufflet is regarded as a male counterpart, but is a separate species that cannot produce Vullaby Eggs.
Special abilities
Vullaby are uncommonly skilled at finding skeletons and using them as armor.
Behavior
It has the tendency to use broken skeleton pieces, most likely skulls, as diaper-like clothing to protect its rump. It will chase after weaker creatures.
Habitat
The Vullaby can be seen lurking by caves and grasslands.

Trivia
- Vullaby was created by James Turner.[1]
- It is impossible to get a 'seen' Pokédex entry for Vullaby or Mandibuzz in Pokémon White without trading with another player. In Pokémon White 2, it is impossible to get a 'seen' Pokédex entry for Vullaby only.
- In Black and White, Vullaby is also 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 its evolution, Rufflet, Ferrothorn and Zweilous.
Origin
Vullaby is based on a vulture chick.
According to interviews with Ken Sugimori in Nintendo Dream, Vullaby and Mandibuzz were added late into the development of Black and White.
Name origin
Vullaby may be a combination of vulture and lullaby (which are often sung to children) or baby.
Valchai may be a combination of vulture and child.
