I LOVE MANDIBUZZ SO MUCH
Mandibuzz (F) @ LeftoversTrait: Big PecksEVs: 252 HP / 48 Atk / 36 Def / 172 SDefSassy Nature (+SDef, -Spd)- Brave Bird- Roost- Payback- Iron Defense
This gal makes for an amazing wall in RU.It can take a Stone Edge and Hi Jump Kick from Hitmonlee pretty well and we all know how common they are in RU. Set up a few Iron Defenses and this guy is nearly impossible to take down with any physical attack.Paired with Big Peck nobody can take you down a notch when you do get those Defenses up. The nature lowers the Speed so you can use Payback more efficiently+ STAB equals a hard hitting move against any Pokemon. Roost is to heal off any damage you taken from setting up and Brave Bird. Brave Bird may cause a lot of recoil but with Roost its really not that big of a problem, and its of course STAB.

This thing checks things like Aegislash and buff sweepers with complete sweg. Even if those guys aren’t present, this set here still gets it done in physical walling.Foul Playis a great move overall, destroying Sword Dancing pokes and the physical attackers it walls, even being able to 2KO an Aegislash even after getting Kings Shielded.Knock Offgets rid of pesky items and has decent power with STAB.Toxiclays down a stall, if that’s what you so choose or you could go for the support withTailwind.Defogis for people that don’t appreciate hazards,Roostis also an option if you don’t have a Wish passer.
Keep this away from Sub-Mawhile and Azumarills though.

This is an anti-stat booster set, as everyone knows stat boosters can be exceedingly frustrating but Mandibuzz can take care of that.Whirlwindblows the Pokemon and it’s boosts away.Roostis for healing.Substituteprevents the foe from hurting you which is very useful, but if you do not haveToxic-spikes supporton your teamToxiccan be useful.Punishmentis there not only there forSTABand soTauntdoes not ruin you, but because it hits hard on Stat boosters with an extra +20 base-power per boost starting at 60 Base-power.
Use with Entry hazard support for Maximum effectiveness.

This guy has incredible bulk, slow speed to Payback does double power.

Knockoff: Does extra damage when knocking off an opposing ‘mons item.Roost: Stalls out any weather and conditions like poison or burn.Foul Play: Good STABDefog: Gets rid of any entry hazards. It also gets rid of yours so only use this move if you have mons that are heavily affected by stealth rocks and sticky web or make sure your mon that sets up hazards is alive.

once this guy has set up, he is almost invincible. I have tried this on Pokemon showdown, it worked great. Most people just rage quit. The only issue is Electric types. With mostly special attacks, Iron Defense won’t matter. I would suggest him for double battles as you can use Follow Me on it’s partner, alouing Mandibuzz to set up, or a strong Ground type to kill of Electric type’s.
Hope I helped.
I’ve decided to change Mandibuzz’s move sets so now it fits as a staller.
Mandibuzz @ LeftoversAbility: Big PecksEVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpDBold Nature- Foul Play- Toxic- Roost- Whirlwind/Aerial Ace/Taunt/Air Slash
Let me explain how this works. Having high HP and Def, it works as a physical wall. We have a bold nature because you really don’t need attack since you have Foul Play, unless you’re planning on using Aerial Ace instead of the other three choices. Toxic adds for additional damage, and roost works well if you’re running low on health. Out of the four choices for the last slot, Whirlwind is possibly your best choice. Run toxic and then a whirlwind right after, and continuously get every Pokemon until you’ve poisoned all of them, then proceed to use foul play after foul play until either you win or your Mandibuzz dies.
