Pokemon GO Bombirdier Raid Guide 2023
n our Pokemon GO Bombirdier Raid Guide 2023 guide, we are going to show you the weakness of Bombirdier in Pokemon GO, the best counters to use, and whether or not Bombirdier can be shiny. Considering the very tight window you have to win the raid and potentially catch the stork Pokemon, you’re gonna need all the help you can get. So, let’s get right into it!
Pokemon GO Bombirdier Weakness
The most important part of any Pokemon GO raid guide is the weakness of the featured Pokemon, and Bombirdier has four: Electric, Fairy, Ice and Rock. All of these moves deal 160% damage. That gives you a lot of options. That said, you can’t just bring any ole Pokemon to this fight. Bombirdier is no joke, even if it is a “mere” three-star raid. You’d better bring out the big guns, just to be safe. We’ll get to that in the next section. What you should know is that you should absolutely do the raid as soon as possible. The Dia de Muertos event will only last from November 1st at 10 AM local time to November 2nd at 8 PM local time.

Can Bombirdier be Shiny?
To round out our Pokemon GO Bombirdier raid guide, let’s talk about whether the stork Pokemon can be shiny. As it turns out, it absolutely can! You can tell them apart relatively easily, because the shiny version has a black beak and legs, as opposed to the regular orange. Also, the “eyeliner” is red instead of black, but that’s a fairly minor detail. It’s best to look at the beak and the legs, that’s a dead giveaway. Now, of course, the regular rules of RNG apply to raids, which means that your odds of running into a shiny Bombirdier are really low. Still, worth a shot.
