Mandibuzz is Pokédex #630, generation 5 (Unova). Mandibuzz is a Stage 1 Darkness Pokémon with 120 HP. The card says it evolves from Vullaby. In this catalog that name is Vullaby (#629).

Mandibuzz sits at 50/84 in Pitch Black, position 50 of 120. Before it is 49 Vullaby, and after it is 51 Inkay. The set belongs to the Mega Evolution series. It was released on 17 July 2026. The printed size is 84. This checklist is longer, at 120 cards. The listed rarity is Common.

The attack Bone Sniper lists no damage number. The cost is Darkness. This attack does 70 damage to 1 of your opponent's Pokémon that has any Special Energy attached. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Blasting Wind is another attack lists 120 damage. The cost is Darkness, Darkness, Colorless. Weakness is Lightning ×2.

Mandibuzz (#630) has 11 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 10 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2026. The earliest other card is Mandibuzz 73/114 in Black & White (2011). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Common. Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and Nisota Niso illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 8 other cards of Mandibuzz list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Nisota Niso. I count 39 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Pitch Black set binder is where a full Pitch Black set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Mandibuzz can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
