Watch out for falling rocks! Bombirdier's potent toolkit allows it to serve as both an offensive pivot and supportive teammate and take advantage of Grass- and Ground-type foes like Decidueye, Gastrodon, and Golurk with Knock Off. Sucker Punch lets Bombirdier handle sweepers like Delphox and Toxtricity after some chip damage. Bombirdier can also opt to set Stealth Rock itself, allowing teammates like Gastrodon to run Spikes. Taunt prevents foes like Gligar from setting entry hazards and blocks setup attempts from Arcanine. Tera Dark strengthens Bombirdier's Dark-type STAB moves, which helps Bombirdier safely revenge kill threats like Toxtricity and removes its Ice- and Electric-type weaknesses. Bombirdier works well with Fairy- and Fighting-types like Calm Mind Florges and Paldean Tauros-W, which appreciate the removal of walls like Galarian Slowbro, and in turn help Bombirdier keep its Heavy-Duty Boots. Bombirdier struggles to break through Electric- and Fairy-types like Bellibolt and Florges, making teammates like Golurk and Salazzle that can threaten them useful.
