Bombirdier in the meta

PvE 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.

⚔️ Raids – Bombirdier 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.

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

PvP 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 League – Bombirdier 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 League – Bombirdier is on the small side for the Master League, and won’t make an impact in the meta.

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.
