⚔️ Raids

Mandibuzz faces heavy competition from strong Dark- and Flying-type counters in raids, and in almost all situations, it is outdone by Yveltal for both types.

As far as non-Legendary, Shadow, or Mega options go, Mandibuzz is still lackluster as a Flying-type when compared to both versions of Braviary as well as Staraptor.

Meanwhile, in the Dark-type category, Tyranitar and Hydreigon are much better choices for beating raid bosses.

🛡️ Gyms

Mandibuzz performs much better in gyms, ranking as the top Flying-type gym defender while also sharing an A+ ranking with fellow Dark-types Umbreon and Tyranitar.

This shouldn’t be surprising—thanks to its high defense and stamina, Mandibuzz is a bulky bird that can last long in gyms without needing frequent Berry top-ups.

🧸 Little League

Mandibuzz is a bit of an outside choice in the Little League, but still has a lot going for it. Using Snarl as its fast move to build charge quickly, it can regularly spam either Aerial Ace or Dark Pulse as its charged moves.

This helps it pick up wins against strong meta-relevant Pokémon like Swablu and Bronzor. However, it needs to watch out for powerful Rock moves like Rollout from Miltank, or the Charm offensive from Fairy-types like Wigglytuff.

🔵 Great League

There’s a lot of buzz around Mandibuzz in the Great League, currently ranked in the top 5 battlers at this level.

The only real counters to the Bone Vulture Pokémon are those that specialize in its weaknesses, such as Electric-types like Toegedamaru and Raichu, or Fairy-types like Clefable and Shadow Galarian Weezing.

For team options, Clodsire, Stunfisk, and Diggersby are all great choices to help counter Rock and Electric threats to Mandibuzz.

🟡 Ultra League

Mandibuzz still performs well, despite maxing out at 2417 CP at Level 50 with perfect IVs.

Use the same moveset as in Little and Great League for the best results, while pairing it with Pokémon like Primeape, Shadow Drapion, or Shadow Feraligatr.

The CP difference doesn’t matter much against Legendaries here, as Mandibuzz can beat Altered Form Giratina, Virizion, and Cresselia, and most notably secure a close win against the new meta leader, Corviknight!

🟣 Master League

That lack of CP is now a crippling weakness for this buzzard, as it drops off completely in the Master League. At this point, you should be using Yveltal instead.
