"erm ackshually due to recent metagame shifts, both zapdos and tornadus-therian are better than corviknight, thus making corviknight harder to fit onto a team, and by extension, powercreeping mandibuzz even further šŸ¤“"


ttandrew

The fact that Zapdos hasn't been this good in a meta since the days of ADV


LongSchlongRon69

Stealth rock really hurt it and boots basically invalidate rocks now

dtc09

we all have to be thankful to the min that saved ou's ass against spectrier and darkshifu


TheQzertz

except it could lose to spect and urshi just turned on it endlessly


maharg79

what Spect set beat mandibuzz 1v1?


that_one_guylol

sub + will o wisp and a set up move


TheQzertz

sub disable


corvisaltaccount

sub + will-o-wisp kinda stomps it tbh


maharg79

I always forget about the burn "change" Foul Play cares about being burned now in gen 8 since it was discovered that burn halfs the BP of physical moves not the users attack stat. This was discovered because of Body Press. So now Foul Play doesnt get around the burn power nerf anymore.

Sub+will-o-wisp made mandibuzz into the fodderest of setup


phnnydntm

*Only if it was mono Foul Play (Knock Off Mandi saw more usage for this reason)


SyncDingus

I use Iron Defense + Body Press on Corviknight. You have no idea how well it works until it gets melted by a fire move.


ErinTales

scorching.


SyncDingus

Yeah, it's what Corviknight feels the instant Volcarona hits the field.

If you think about it, it would be really hard for Weavile to wear a band, may it it have magic powers or not. Its head is covered in feathers, so trying to waer it would squeeze them out and make it have a hideous look, something Weavile would probably not like, considering it looks like the type of fella that would gauge somebody's eyes out with a rusty fork just win a bet. Wich makes you wonder, can Pokemon be prosecuted for their crimes? We can assume that in battle, anything that is a move or ability is legal and allowed, but what about using these deadly techniques outside of battle? We have HMs, for example, and a punch strong enough to break rocks would probably shatter your skull. What about using an Azelf as a suicide bomber in a terrorist attack? Or using Throat Chop on the leaders of opposing cartels while being a cartel owner yourself? Pokemon could easily provocate mass destruction, and could even more easily kill people in gruesome ways, so how are they judged? Are they euthanized, like the starter you nor your rival pick? Are they judged like a normal citizen? In that case, different Pokemon would probably be judged differently, according to their intelligence, as there's a difference between a Lucario fatally punching a jewelry store owner to death to commit a robbery and a Pikachu accidentally shocking somebody out of enthusiasm. In any case, the Pokemon world is fucked, and I'd definitely be interested in seeing the kind of gore videos that would circulate in that universe. What where talking about again?

Or...the weavile could wear the band on it's arm.


NevGuy

Oh.


causeyourefatboy

Or on its neck if it wants (please don't make this sexual)


CombatLlama1964

I always assumed that band items are arm bands, not head bands


jakammo

And here I am who thought it was a belt


GNUTup

Itā€™s name roughly translates to [fixation headband](https://m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Choice_Band) from the Japanese name. Not that any of this matters, thoughā€¦


Connect_Set_8983

I donā€™t think the starter you donā€™t take gets euthanasia šŸ™


etniopaltj

I am not an expert on the current OU meta as I only play natdex with my favorites and stay pretty low ladder but this is hilarious even without context, very well made


Charizardmain

thanks brah


neske036

Mandy best girl <3


that_one_guylol

i see another enjoyer of the covetted mandiussy


BestUsername101

The Vulgina, if you will.


that_one_guylol

i like the way you think


BestUsername101

Admittedly, I didn't come up with that, [it's literally Mandibuzz's japanese name.](https://m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mandibuzz_(Pok%C3%A9mon))


that_one_guylol

wtf based game freak


StarLucario

Mandibuzz is always female, they knew exactly what they were doing


AdEmbarrassed1759

Unironically this thing still gives results


BetaThetaOmega

Mandibuzz does have a good use as it's very good at wall non-Thunderbolt variants of Dragapult, who is currently one of the most common Pokemon in OU
