I've liked Braviary ever since it was revealed. It also has good Attack and a pretty good movepool compared to its fellow Normal/Flying Pokemon (and no, Staraptor and Togekiss don't count). I really don't like Mandibuzz because it's just too ugly for a female Pokemon. Its offensive stats are terrible as well.
Thank goodness I got Pokémon White, so I would have a chance to get Braviary, because I like him so much better over Mandibuzz. He's got the coolest design of the Normal/Flying types thus far (although I quite enjoy the male Unfezants' as well) and his stats are pretty great as well. I don't have Pokémon Black, so I don't know too much about Mandibuzz and what she's all about, but talking strictly design-wise, I'm not too crazy about her. She's doesn't have that... I don't know, majestic touch that Braviary has. :/
I have both, and tbh, I actually like both. I prefer Braviary, but something about Mandibuzz's design makes me love her, if only a little bit. Though I don't think a vulture was a good choice for a female-only Pokémon (something girlier, like a lovebird would've suited more imo), but all in all, I like both. Since there is no "both" option, however, I'm going with Braviary.
Braviary. Looks awesome and is awesome. Could go toe to toe with a lot of Pokemon with the Atk power it has. Doesn't have a shabby move pool either, with a STAB Crush Claw its pretty good.
Braviary. Why? Mandibuzz may be the counterpart in stats (instead of high special attack and attack stats it has high defense and special defense stats), but it is still relatively too low to be a good wall and has a bad move pool.
I've gotta go with Mandibuzz here, mainly because vultures are cooler than eagles irl, plus I'm PC's unofficial appreciator of under-appreciated pokemon. *thinks back to my old Garbodor theme* XD
Hm, I'd prefer Braviary, mainly because it has a really cool name, (much better than Wargle IMO!), and a really cool design, and a pretty nice attack stat, not to mention a great ability! Mandibuzz, I'm not too sure, I haven't read into it alot, but, I'd prefer Braviary for now. =)
