Worst Gen V pokemon-#9

It's Mandibuzz
OK, with 510 base stats, including pretty good 110/105/95 defenses; decent typing both defensively and offensively and a fairly broad movepool which allows it to be quite versatile, Mandibuzz is far from the weakest pokemon for battling in Gen V.  In fact, the main reason it's on here is because Vullaby is one of the worst designs for a pokemon ever, and it really had to be amazing to live up to its dark/flying predecessors Murkrow and Honchkrow and, as it turns out, its successor Yvetal. But it's wearing a diaper! Mandibuzz actually is kinda cool, and I have cards in which it looks great, but that just does NOT justify a diapered prevolution. Nothing does. Also, its Japanese name is Vulgina. Just saying.

Edited to add: Just looked properly at its design for the first time and actually it's weird. I understand it couldn't completely lose the diaper (although humans do) but the spiked crotch, combined with the fact all Mandibuzz are female, makes it seem like extreme birth control
