Bombirdier is one of PU's best offensive pivots and Knock Off spreaders thanks to its great offensive typing, spammable STAB moves, wide variety of utility options, and a great defensive profile allowing it to take advantage of Pokemon like Hoopa and Wo-Chien. Sucker Punch allows Bombirdier to pick off weakened faster threats and setup sweepers such as Choice Scarf Bruxish, Delphox, and Hisuian Braviary. Bombirdier has a wide variety of options in its final slot; Taunt allows Bombirdier to deny setup attempts from Pokemon like Hariyama and Mesprit, hazard-setting attempts from Mudsdale, Defog from Cramorant, and recovery attempts from Pokemon like Milotic and Vileplume. Stealth Rock allows Bombirdier to support its team with entry hazards and allows it to free up a moveslot for teammates like Rhydon and Alolan Sandslash. Roost allows Bombirdier to capitalize on the switches it forces on Pokemon like Palossand and Brute Bonnet and recover off damage and Brave Bird recoil. U-turn or Parting Shot allows Bombirdier to safely pivot into teammates, but both moves can be hard to fit over other options. Tera Dark allows Bombirdier to achieve rolls such as 2HKOing Alolan Sandslash with Knock Off after Stealth Rock while also removing its weakness to Electric- and Rock-type attacks, which is valuable against Pokemon like Rotom-Heat and Minior. Bombirdier finds itself on a wide variety of teams ranging from bulky balance to hyper offense. Although it resists Knock Off, Bombirdier appreciates fellow Dark-resistant Pokemon such as Scrafty and Paldean Tauros-F that can switch into Knock Off for it, as Bombirdier requires Heavy-Duty Boots to be an effective pivot. Bombirdier's ability to take out walls like Galarian Slowbro and Wo-Chien allows for Pokemon checked by these threats such as Calm Mind Florges and Bruxish to become much more potent offensive threats. Bombirdier struggles with bulkier walls who can cripple it with status like Milotic and Coalossal, so Pokemon who can check these threats like Venusaur and Tatsugiri make good partners. While it is immune to Ground-type attacks, Bombirdier should be paired with other Pokemon that resist Ground such as Rotom-Heat, Hisuian Decidueye, and Shaymin because it cannot reliably take on Ground-types such as Mudsdale and Rhydon on its own.

This is the sample set before we work on new analyses. This will be updated as the metagame continues to develop. Stay tuned!
