[SET COMMENTS]
Volt Absorb Mandibuzz acts as an excellent special wall, checking some of the tier's best pivots like Zapdos, Sandy Shocks, and Azelf. Knock Off cripples switch-ins like Corviknight and Great Tusk, (comma) while U-turn allows it to pivot out after switching into the aforementioned threats. Defog further increases Mandibuzz's utility by removing entry hazards, allowing teammates like Chien-Pao and Barraskewda to switch in safely, while Toxic cripples its switch-ins like Great Tusk and Toxic Debris Garchomp. A Sassy nature and 0 Speed IVs allow Mandibuzz to pivot out as slowly as possible. Mandibuzz's defensive utility and slow pivoting is appreciated by wallbreakers and pivots like Weavile, Dragonite, and Meowscarada. Mandibuzz also appreciates teammates like Scream Tail and Corviknight that can switch into Knock Off and handle threats like Chien-Pao and Galarian Zapdos. In return, Mandibuzz can check Pokemon that threaten these teammates such as Sandy Shocks and Hisuian Electrode. Mandibuzz is prone to getting worn down quickly by special threats like Walking Wake and Iron Moth, making other specially defensive teammates like Empoleon and RegenVest Manaphy good partners.
