Buzzwole is definitely good competitively wtf

Mandibuzz used to be a top threat too

Didn't the second place guy in the world championship this year have a Mandibuzz? It was either him or the champ.

The one from the anime only had that face because it wasn't skilled enough to do a complete transformation, dammit! Are you telling me all of these Ditto suck at the one thing they're supposed to be able to do? :argh:

they're skilled enough to know that their face is cute

Mandibuzz and Buzzwole are okay but very niche and not many people use them, same thing with Nihilego, Braviary, [A]Muk

What kind of set can you run with Braviary?

Like isn't Staraptor just better in literally every way?

There's the mega stone codes, but I noticed that they seem to expire at the end of this month so they're probably not worth adding.

Defiant counters any nerds who have Intimidate with zero effort. Brave Bird and Superpower for hard hitting moves. Tailwind and Protect for Utility, Also can learn Shadow Claw, Facade, and U-Turn.

Can't say if it's better or not than Staraptor but I'm speaking of VGC 2017

In singles Braviary sets usually focus on its bulk with defensive EV spreads, Bulk Up, and Roost. Staraptor is pretty much always pure offense. Staraptor is better, but they have different roles when used in singles so Braviary isn't just a "low tier Staraptor." In addition, Braviary is used in the same way Ground types are against choice scarf Volt Switchers, as in you switch it in on Defog users, and have a high chance of winning the game on the spot if they go for a Defog into it because of Defiant.

In doubles, as was stated, Defiant is a counter to Intimidate spam, while Staraptor is the Intimidate spam. Again, Braviary can make use of Roost decently well while Staraptor isn't that good at Roosting, but also Braviary is actually legal while Staraptor is not this year.

Well, it has a UB codename and Beast Boost, so I'm going to say yes, it is 100% an Ultra Beast given that those are the two unifying features of all UBs.

Yeah oops I should have clarified, I meant that I don't think Adhesive is a legendary like the other UBs, since it's most likely not grouped with the other UBs in the dex

EDIT: Although actually it was more like 12 eggs, due to my habit of storing up 60 eggs while hatching eggs waiting for more eggs to be found. This happened with Mimikyu, too. I am rethinking the second PC box of egg storage.
