Mandibuzz (F) @ Rocky Helmet / Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Overcoat
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 30 Spe
- Knock Off / Foul Play
- U-turn
- Roost
- Toxic

Mandibuzz takes Dark teams under its wing and soars to victory! With its unmatched bulk and reliable utility, Mandibuzz is exceptional in the Ground, Fighting, and Dragon matchups. Knock Off removes held items such as Leftovers and Heavy-Duty Boots from Sinistcha and Empoleon, motivating match progression. Foul Play dissuades and punishes sweepers like Dragonite, Ogerpon-W, and Gouging Fire attempting to set up. U-turn helps safely bring in offensive teammates such as Darkrai and Meowscarada and takes advantage of Mandibuzz's Speed, underspeeding Skarmory and deactivating its Sturdy. Toxic puts bulkier Pokemon like Iron Hands, Primarina, and Ting-Lu on a timer. Rocky Helmet punishes Urshifu-R's Surging Strikes and pivot moves such as U-turn and Flip Turn from Sneasler and Barraskewda, while Heavy-Duty Boots eases Mandibuzz's job as a pivot. Ting-Lu provides a valuable Electric immunity, combating foes like Raging Bolt and Sandy Shocks. In exchange, Mandibuzz accentuates Ting-Lu's entry hazard stack with Knock Off and threatens Fighting-types like Great Tusk and Gallade. Hoopa-U greatly appreciates U-turn support and Toxic wearing down switch-ins and removes Galarian Weezing, Kyurem, and Toxapex in return.
