Mandibuzz (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

* Mandibuzz and its pre-evolution were designed by [[James Turner]]. According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', Vullaby and Mandibuzz were added late into the development of {{v2|Black and White|s}}, and despite the fact that there were "too many bird Pokémon already", their designs were approved.<ref name=ND205>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([http://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-6/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

* Mandibuzz and Vullaby can be seen as counterparts to {{p|Braviary}} and {{p|Rufflet}}.

Mandibuzz and Vullaby are exclusive to {{game|Black and White|s|Black}}, {{game|Black and White|s|Black 2|2}}, {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Moon}}, and {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Shield}}, while Braviary and Rufflet are to White, White 2, Sun, Ultra Sun, and Sword. Whereas Mandibuzz and Vullaby can only be female, Braviary and Rufflet can only be male.
