Read more ↓Vullaby is a Dark/Flying type Pokémon introduced in Generation V, native to the Unova region. Known as the Diapered Pokémon, Vullaby is the pre-evolution of Mandibuzz. It is characterized by its small, round body, pink head, and the bone it wears around its lower half, which serves as a protective diaper. These bones are often scavenged from larger Pokémon or passed down from older Vullaby in the nest, a unique and somewhat macabre aspect of its behavior. Vullaby are typically found in desert and savannah environments, where they hone their flying skills and scavenging abilities. They are known for their somewhat aggressive and territorial nature, often squabbling with other Vullaby over bones or food. In the Pokémon games, Vullaby often appears as a common encounter in certain routes and areas, evolving into Mandibuzz at level 54. In the anime, Vullaby have been featured in various episodes, typically depicted as mischievous or feisty young Pokémon. Its distinct design and interesting lore surrounding its bone attire make it a memorable addition to the Pokémon world, highlighting themes of survival and adaptation in harsh environments.
