      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Bombirdier is a Flying and Dark-type Pokémon with a max CP of 2812. It is not useful for PvE, even with its best moveset of Rock Throw and Fly.

      ⚔️ RaidsBombirdier does not break the top 50 PvE rankings as either a Flying or Dark-type Pokémon. There are many stronger options readily available in GO for both typings.

      🛡️ GymsBombirdier is not a particularly good Gym defender due to its poor stats and moveset.

      PvE AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Bombirdier's best moveset for PvP is Wing Attack, Fly, and Payback. While it has fairly unusual typing, it doesn’t rank well for PvP.

      🔵 Great League – While Bombirdier can pick up some key wins over popular Great League Pokémon like Gastrodon, Drapion, and Mandibuzz, it also has major losses to popular picks like Talonflame, Friedwuff, and Azumarill. There are many better options in the meta.

      🟡 Ultra LeagueBombirdier ranks better for Ultra League than Great League, but still doesn’t break the top 200, and it requires XL candy investment to be usable.

      🟣 Master LeagueBombirdier is on the small side for the Master League, and won’t make an impact in the meta.

      A list of Mega Pokémon that boost Bombirdier's Flying and Dark-type moves, Candy, and Candy XL from catching Bombirdier.

      Flying Flying

      Dark Dark

      Pokédex informationMore information

      Mega and Primal Raid BonusMega Pokémon boost the attack power of all other Pokémon when battling in Raid Battles by 10%. Attacks that share their type with the Mega Pokémon's type(s) receive a 30% boost. However, these bonuses do not stack if there are multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon battling simultaneously; only the higher boost will be applied.

      Mega and Primal Catch BonusWhile a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.

      Note on Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza
      • Primal Kyogre boosts Water-, Electric- and Bug-type attacks and Pokémon.
      • Primal Groudon boosts Fire-, Grass- and Ground-type attacks and Pokémon.
      • Mega Rayquaza boosts Flying-, Dragon- and Psychic-type attacks and Pokémon.

                Catch probability with multiple throws

                In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Bombirdier, we enable the functionality to showing the total chance to catch it depending on the number of available throws. We calculate this chance as if you repeated the same throw N-number of times.

                To activate this functionality, change the number of Number of throws to a value greater than 1. The Number of throws option is available in the configuration options above the chart

                Catch rate formula

                Pokémon GO catch rate formula can be expressed as follows:

                • CATCH_MULTIPLIERS = ball * curve * berry * throwType * (type1Medal + type2Medal / 2)
                • CATCH_RATE = 1 - Math.pow(1 - baseCatchRate / (2 * cpm), CATCH_MULTIPLIERS)

                There are different multipliers that come into play when calculating catch rate.

                Curved throws are more effective than regular throws, stronger types of Poké Ball have a higher catch rate, and using a Razz Berry or a Golden Razz Berry also improves your chances.
