How to Get Bombirdier in Pokemon Go and Its Shiny Availability

Bombirdier, the Flying and Dark-type Pokemon from the Paldea region, has made its way into Pokemon Go. This guide will provide detailed information on how to obtain Bombirdier, its stats, best moveset, counters, weaknesses, and Shiny availability in the game.

How to Get Bombirdier and Stats

Bombirdier is currently available only as a raid boss in Pokemon Go. Players need to participate in Bombirdier raid battles to encounter and catch this Pokemon. It appears as a 3-star raid boss, making it a moderately challenging opponent.

Upon defeating Bombirdier in the raid battle, players will receive a limited number of Premier Balls to attempt to capture it. Using Berries can increase the chances of a successful catch.

Bombirdier has a maximum CP of 2,812 at level 50 with 15/15/15 IVs. Its base stats are 198 Attack, 172 Defense, and 172 Stamina. As a Flying and Dark-type Pokemon, Bombirdier is vulnerable to Electric, Fairy, Ice, and Rock-type moves but resistant to Ground, Psychic, Dark, Ghost, and Grass-type attacks.

Best Moveset for Bombirdier

Bombirdier's best moveset for attacking in raids and gyms is Wing Attack as the fast move and Fly as the charged move. This combination has the highest total Damage Per Second (DPS) and Total Damage Output (TDO) in Pokemon Go.

If players are unable to obtain this moveset, Rock Throw as the fast move and Fly as the charged move is a viable alternative, although it results in a slightly lower DPS and TDO compared to the optimal moveset.

Best Counters and Weaknesses

As mentioned earlier, Bombirdier is weak against Electric, Fairy, Ice, and Rock-type moves. Trainers should consider using Pokemon with these types to counter Bombirdier effectively in raid battles.

Some of the best counters against Bombirdier include:

Pokemon	Image	Fast Move	Charged Move
Xurkitree		Spark	Discharge
Zekrom		Charge Beam	Fusion Bolt
Thundurus		Volt Switch	Thunderbolt
Rampardos		Smack Down	Rock Slide

Bombirdier shows resistance to Ground, Psychic, Dark, Ghost, and Grass-type attacks, making these types less effective against it.

Is Shiny Bombirdier Available?

Yes, the Shiny variant of Bombirdier is available in Pokemon Go. After defeating the raid boss, players may encounter a Shiny Bombirdier in the catch sequence.

The difference between the regular and Shiny Bombirdier is subtle. The Shiny variant has a dark grey beak and legs instead of the traditional red color.

Encountering a Shiny Bombirdier is a rare occurrence with a low probability. Players may need to participate in multiple Bombirdier raids to increase their chances of finding the Shiny variant.
