[SET COMMENTS]

Bombirdier makes good use of Choice Scarf and Choice Band thanks to its great speed and access to pivoting moves. U-turn breaks Focus Sash and deals some damage, while Parting Shot lets other offensive teammates hit the field more comfortably and avoids contact with the opposing Pokemon. Bombirdier has access to some of the best offensive STAB moves in the game, with the highly coveted Knock Off, high-Base Power Brave Bird, and Rocky Payload-boosted Rock-type moves.

Other useful options would be to use Stone Edge as a Rock-type pseudo-STAB attack; it has more power than Rock Blast but comes with more risk due to its lower accuracy. Additionally, Memento is an option over Parting Shot, which would further weaken an enemy to allow for a safer setup turn with a sweeper like Dudunsparce or Veluza. With this set, the Tera Dark is recommended to increase the damage of Knock Off; Tera Rock can also be considered, but most of the time, if you want to deal damage, Knock Off is more reliable. Brave Bird, the second STAB move, is another spammable option that helps Bombirdier deal with Fighting-type Pokemon that can take Dark and Rock moves, like Paldean Tauros and Toxicroak. With Choice Band, Bombirdier can deal some real damage off its great Attack stat.

As for teammates, we have some options. Sandaconda its a good option because of its Electric immunity, and Parting Shot can help it boost up safety. Setup sweepers like Bruxish, Lilligant, and Farigiraf greatly benefit from Bombirdier's Parting Shot and Knock Off weakening the opposition. To continue the pivot partners, Scyther and Choice Scarf Rotom make a solid VoltTurn core with Bombirdier. Due to its Stealth Rock weakness, Bombirdier appreciates entry hazard removal from Braviary and Cryogonal.

[SET COMMENTS]

Bombirdier is a Pokémon that makes good use of the Choice Scarf. It serves as a pivot and can often starts battles thanks to its attack and speed, along with two useful moves to escape from battle. The first one is the classic U-turn, in case you want to deal some damage before switching out, and the second one is Parting Shot, which doesn't deal damage but lowers the opponent's attack and special attack one level, allowing your teammate to enter the battle safely. Bombirdier also has good attack, so you can take advantage of that to deal some damage without leaving the field. It has access to the useful move Knock Off, which is always handy for removing items. With its ability Rocky Payload, it gains STAB for Rock-type moves like Rock Slide, which also has a chance to make the opponent flinch.

Other useful options would be to use Stone Edge as Rock-type STAB; it has more power but comes with more risk due to its lower accuracy. Additionally, we have Memento instead of Parting Shot, which lowers the opponent's attack and special attack by 2 levels at the cost of Bombirdier fainting afterward. With this set, the Dark tera is recommended to increase the damage of Knock Off; a Rock tera can also be considered, but most of the time, if you want to deal damage, Knock Off is more reliable. An important thing to mention is that being Dark-type, priority moves from Prankster Pokémon won't affect us, so we are safe from being burned by Sableye or falling victim to their Taunt. Another good option it's brave bird, the third STAB move, that helps you to deal with Fighting type Pokemon.

Due to its lack of coverage, Bombirdier struggles against almost any Steel-type Pokémon we encounter, so in those cases, it is better to use U-turn or Parting Shot to switch out. As for teammates, to name a few, Jolteon can be useful to predict Electric-type attacks, or Raichu-Alola, which can also enter the battle and comfortably raise its stats with Nasty Plot if Bombirdier uses Parting Shot beforehand instead of Breave Bird, this also aplies for any sword dancer o dragon dancer that you want to use.

Bombirdier is a Pokémon that makes good use of the Choice Scarf explain WHY, you can take portions from the following sentence, "Bombirdier makes good use of a Choice Scarf thanks to its great speed and access to pivoting moves" as an example. It serves as a pivot and can often starts battles thanks to its attack and speed, along with two useful moves to escape from battle. The first one is the classic U-turn, in case you want to deal some damage before switching out, and the second one is Parting Shot, which doesn't deal damage but lowers the opponent's attack and special attack one level, allowing your teammate to enter the battle safely. pivoting moves are self explanatory, and you don't need to explain what the moves do as these are written under the assumption that the reader already knows the basics of the game. You can explain the pros and cons of each pivoting move, U-turn breaks Focus Sash and does damage, parting shot lets other offensive teammates hit the field and ignores rocky helmet, etc.. Bombirdier also has good attack, so you can take advantage of that to deal some damage without leaving the field. It has access to the useful move Knock Off, which is always handy for removing items. With its ability Rocky Payload, it gains STAB for Rock-type moves like Rock Slide, which also has a chance to make the opponent flinch. Bombirdier has access to some of the best offensive STAB moves in the game, with the highly coveted Knock Off, high BP Brave Bird, and Rocky Payload-boosted Rock-type moves.

Other useful options would be to use Stone Edge as Rock-type STAB; it has more power but comes with more risk due to its lower accuracy. Additionally, we have Memento instead of Parting Shot, which lowers the opponent's attack and special attack by 2 levels at the cost of Bombirdier fainting afterward. Don't explain what the move is, explain what it does for Bombirdier, using examples like "Memento is an alternative to Parting Shot, which would weaken an opponent to allow for a safer setup turn with a sweeper like Dudunsparce or Veluza" as an example. With this set, the Dark tera is recommended to increase the damage of Knock Off; a Rock tera can also be considered, but most of the time, if you want to deal damage, Knock Off is more reliable. An important thing to mention is that being Dark-type, priority moves from Prankster Pokémon won't affect us, so we are safe from being burned by Sableye or falling victim to their Taunt. again, self explanatory Another good option it's brave bird, the third STAB move, that helps you to deal with Fighting type Pokemon. mention what Brave Bird hits and why it would be used over knock off or stone edge; it is always good to give examples

Due to its lack of coverage, Bombirdier struggles against almost any Steel-type Pokémon we encounter, so in those cases, it is better to use U-turn or Parting Shot to switch out. there are no Steel-types in NU, and Bombirdier could Knock Off them anyway. As for teammates, to name a few, Jolteon can be useful to predict Electric-type attacks, or Raichu-Alola, which can also enter the battle and comfortably raise its stats with Nasty Plot if Bombirdier uses Parting Shot beforehand instead of Breave Bird, this also aplies for any sword dancer o dragon dancer that you want to use. Separate these examples into two sentences; "Electric immunities like Sandaconda and Volt Absorb Jolteon are solid pivots for Bombirdier, the former also serving as a Rock resistance. Setup sweepers like Bruxish, Lilligant, and Oricorio-F greatly benefit from Bombirdier's Parting Shot and Knock Off weakening the opposition." as an example. also mention other pivot users like Scyther and Choice Scarf Rotom, as they make a solid VoltTurn core with Bombirdier. Bombirdier also appreciates Defog support because it is weak to Rocks.

Bombirdier makes good use of a Choice Scarf Choice Scarf and Choice Band thanks to its great speed and access to pivoting moves. It serves as a pivot and can often starts battles thanks to its attack and speed, along with two useful moves to escape from battle. The first 2 sentences are essentially the same thing, there isn't much of a point for the second sentence. U-turn breaks focus sash and deal some samage, Parting Shot lets other offensive teammates hit the field and ignore contact with the opponent. Bombirdier has access to some of the best offensive STAB moves in the game, with the highly coveted Knock Off, high BP Brave Bird, and Rocky Payload-boosted Rock-type moves.

Other useful options would be to use Stone Edge as Rock-type STAB; it has more power but comes with more risk due to its lower accuracy. Additionally, we have Memento instead of Parting Shot, Memento is an alternative to Parting Shot, which would weaken an opponent to allow for a safer setup turn with a sweeper like Dudunsparce or Veluza. "Memento is an alternative to Parting Shot" is essentially said twice in this sentence and isn't needed both times. With this set, the Dark tera is recommended to increase the damage of Knock Off; a Rock tera can also be considered, but most of the time, if you want to deal damage, Knock Off is more reliable. Another good option it's brave bird, the third second STAB move, that helps you to deal with Fighting type Pokemon who can take Dark and Rock moves, like Medicham. Medicham isn't the best option here due to its low bulk and takes a lot from Knock Off already. I would instead mention Paldean Tauros and Toxicroak. I would write a sentence or two about Choice Band as a powerful option to help it be more threatening.

As for teammates, we have some options. For electric immunities we have Sandaconda and Volt Absorb Jolteon, this last one also its good to have Volt-Switch. This could be reworded to help the reader better understand why Sandaconda is a good option other than being immune to Electric, such as its Rock-type resistance (also Jolteon got banned, so remove that, too). We have Setup Sweepers like Bruxish, Lilligant, and Oricorio-F Farigiraf which greatly benefit from Bombirdier's Parting Shot and Knock Off weakening the opposition. To continue the pivot partners, Scyther and Choice Scarf Rotom make a solid VoltTurn, with a good core with Bombirdier. Also some pokemon with Defog it helps a lot to avoid damage of Stealth Rock(Braviary or Drifblim for example). While this sentence makes sense, it doesn't. I would suggest something along the lines of "Due to its Stealth Rock weakness, Bombirdier appreciates hazard removal from Braviary and Cryogonal.

Bombirdier makes good use of Choice Scarf and Choice Band thanks to its great speed and access to pivoting moves. U-turn breaks Focus Sash and deal deals some samage damage, while Parting Shot lets other offensive teammates hit the field more comfortably and ignore avoids contact with the opponent opposing Pokemon. Bombirdier has access to some of the best offensive STAB moves in the game, with the highly coveted Knock Off, high BP high-Base Power Brave Bird, and Rocky Payload-boosted Rock-type moves.

Other useful options would be to use Stone Edge as a Rock-type pseudo-STAB attack; it has more power than Rock Blast but comes with more risk due to its lower accuracy. Additionally, we have Memento instead of is an option oveParting Shot, which would further weaken an opponent enemy to allow for a safer setup turn with a sweeper like Dudunsparce or Veluza. With this set, the Tera Dark tera is recommended to increase the damage of Knock Off; a Tera Rock tera can also be considered, but most of the time, if you want to deal damage, Knock Off is more reliable. Another good option it's Brave Bird, the second STAB move, is another spammable option (if im reading this properly) that helps you to Bombirdier deal with Fighting-type (AH) Pokemon who that can take Dark and Rock moves, like Paldean Tauros and Toxicroak. With Choice Band, (AC) you Bombirdier can deal some real damage with that off its great Attack stat of atk.

As for teammates, we have some options. Sandaconda its a good option because the of its Electric immunitie, also if we use immunity, and Parting Shot, sandaconda can help it boost up safety. We have Setup sweepers like Bruxish, Lilligant, and Farigiraf which greatly benefit from Bombirdier's Parting Shot and Knock Off weakening the opposition. To continue the pivot partners, Scyther and Choice Scarf Rotom make a solid VoltTurn, with a good core with Bombirdier. Due to its Stealth Rock weakness, Bombirdier appreciates entry hazard removal from Braviary and Cryogonal. (AP)
