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 Decidueye, Golurk, and Gastrodon. Sucker Punch allows Bombirdier to pick off weakened faster threats and setup sweepers such as Inteleon, Choice Scarf Staraptor, Delphox, and Toxtricity. Bombirdier has a wide variety of options in its final slot; Taunt allows Bombirdier to deny setup attempts from Pokemon like Arcanine and Scream Tail, hazard-setting attempts from Mudsdale and Gligar, Defog from Altaria, and recovery attempts from Pokemon like the beforementioned Altaria, Milotic, and Palossand. Stealth Rock allows Bombirdier to support its team with entry hazards and allows it to free up a moveslot for teammates like Alolan Sandslash and Gastrodon. Roost allows Bombirdier to capitalize on the switches it forces on Pokemon like Bronzong and Decidueye 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 boosts the power of Knock Off and Sucker Punch, allowing Bombirdier to achieve rolls such as OHKOing Bronzong and Toxtricity with minimal chip and 2HKOing Altaria while also removing its weakness to Electric- and Rock-type attacks, which is valuable against Pokemon like Kilowattrel 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, Gastrodon, and Wo-Chien allows for Pokemon checked by these threats such as Calm Mind Florges, Inteleon, and Decidueye to become much more potent offensive threats. Bombirdier struggles with bulkier walls who can cripple it with status like Bellibolt and Coalossal, so Pokemon who can check these threats like Mudsdale, Goodra, and Inteleon make good partners. While it is immune to Ground-type attacks, Bombirdier should be paired with other Pokemon that resist Ground such as Decidueye and Bronzong because it cannot reliably take on Ground-types such as Gligar and Mudsdale on its own.

Bombirdier is one of PU's best offensive pivots and Knock Off spreaders thanks to its great offensive typing, spammable STAB moves, and wide variety of utility options. Sucker Punch allows Bombirdier to pick off weakened faster threats and setup sweepers such as Inteleon, Choice Scarf Staraptor, Delphox, and Toxtricity. Bombirdier has a wide variety of options in its final slot; Taunt allows Bombirdier to deny setup attempts from Pokemon like Arcanine and Scrafty (don't you just brave bird this thing? at worst you force a tera which isn't horrible) as well as hazard setting and defogging attempts from Mudsdale, Gligar, and Altaria (this phrasing makes it sounds like these mons are doing both, which isn't possible). Stealth Rock allows Bombirdier to support its team with entry hazards and allows it to free up a moveslot for teammates like Alolan Sandslash and Gastrodon. Roost allows Bombirdier to capitalize on its switchouts it forces on Pokemon like Bronzong and Decidueye and recover off damage and Brave Bird recoil.

Bombirdier it finds itself on a wide variety of teams ranging from bulky balance to hyper offense. Golurk is a particularly stellar partner for Bombirdier; Golurk removes certain walls such as Bellibolt and Coalossal who would otherwise cripple Bombirdier with status while in turn, Bombirdier removes away Golurk's checks such as Wo-Chien and can work together with it to chip away at their shared checks such as Mudsdale and Altaria (i find it hard to imagine alt is switching in on a lurk thanks to ice punch, pick something else). Although resisting Knock Off, Bombirdier appreciates fellow Dark-type resists such as Scrafty and Paldean Tauros-F who can switch into Knock Off for it, as Bombirdier requires Heavy-Duty Boots to reliably be an effective pivot. Bombirdier's ability to reliably take out walls like Galarian Slowbro, Gastrodon, and Wo-Chien allow for Pokemon checked by these threats such as Calm Mind Florges, Inteleon, and Decidueye to become much more potent offensive threats.

Bombirdier is one of PU's best offensive pivots and Knock Off spreaders thanks to its great offensive typing, spammable STAB moves, and wide variety of utility options (100% mention how useful its typing is defensively as well. bomb's solid matchup against decid and golurk is a key part of its viability, and bomb's typing also gives it opportunities to come in on and mess with stuff like gastro. gastro's also notable bc skunk, bomb's main competition, can't exploit it as safely.). Sucker Punch allows Bombirdier to pick off weakened faster threats and setup sweepers such as Inteleon, Choice Scarf Staraptor, Delphox, and Toxtricity. Bombirdier has a wide variety of options in its final slot; Taunt allows Bombirdier to deny setup attempts from Pokemon like Arcanine and Scream Tail as well as hazard setting attempts from Mudsdale and Gligar and Defog from Altaria (denying recovery from alt and stuff like milo is also important.). Stealth Rock allows Bombirdier to support its team with entry hazards and allows it to free up a moveslot for teammates like Alolan Sandslash and Gastrodon. Roost allows Bombirdier to capitalize on its switchouts it forces on Pokemon like Bronzong and Decidueye and recover off damage and Brave Bird recoil. U-turn and Parting Shot allows Bombirdier to safely pivot into teammates, but both moves can be hard to fit over other options. Tera Dark boosts the power of Knock Off and Sucker Punch, allowing Bombirdier to achieve rolls such as OHKOing Bronzong and Toxtricity with minial minimal chip and 2HKOing Altaria while also removing its weakness to Electric- and Rock-type attacks which is valuable against Pokemon like Kilowattrel and Minior.

Bombirdier it finds itself on a wide variety of teams ranging from bulky balance to hyper offense (maybe it's me, but i don't see why you'd use this on ho over skunk. the extra chip from all of helmet, aftermath, and potentially toxic as well as skunk's better glowbro matchup are big deals, and you'd rather just use skunk + decid/pauros/torn if you're worried about grounds.). Golurk is a particularly stellar partner for Bombirdier; Golurk removes certain walls such as Bellibolt and Coalossal who would otherwise cripple Bombirdier with status while in turn, Bombirdier removes away Golurk's checks such as Wo-Chien and can work together with it to chip away at their shared checks such as Mudsdale and Sandaconda (i don't necessarily disagree, but not being able to spam knock bc you wanna click cb polter is really lame, so i can't say i like recommending this pairing.). Although resisting Knock Off, Bombirdier appreciates fellow Dark-type resists such as Scrafty and Paldean Tauros-F who can switch into Knock Off for it, as Bombirdier requires Heavy-Duty Boots to reliably be an effective pivot. Bombirdier's ability to reliably take out walls like Galarian Slowbro, Gastrodon, and Wo-Chien allow for Pokemon checked by these threats such as Calm Mind Florges, Inteleon, and Decidueye to become much more potent offensive threats.

give other examples of mons with good matchups against belli and coal instead of golurk, but also talk about how bomb should be paired with backup ground checks since it shouldn't be a team's only way to deal with mudsdale, gligar, etc.
