The imposing Bombirdier has just two Fast Moves and three Charged Moves Pokemon Go, with only three types spread out between them. Here’s its full moveset:

Bombirdier Fast Moves

  • Rock Throw (Rock)

Bombirdier Charged Moves

  • Aerial Ace (Flying/STAB)
  • Payback (Dark/STAB)
  • Fly (Flying/STAB)

Pokemon Go Bombirdier best PvP moveset

Bombirdier’s best moveset for PvP content is Wing Attack as the Fast Move and Fly and Payback as the Charged Moves.

The choice of Fast Move should go to Wing Attack, thanks to STAB and the higher energy generation than its only other option, Rock Throw.

That being said, Rock Throw does have very specific utility—especially as a counter to other Flying-types.

The first Charged Move slot should go to Fly thanks to its low energy cost and STAB benefits. The second Charged Move slot should go to Payback thanks to its high damage and type coverage.

For Raid content, trainers should equip Bombirdier with Wing Attack as the Fast Move alongside Fly and Aerial Ace as the Charged Moves.

In general, it’s a good idea to keep Pokemon’s moveset to one single type when taking on Raid content, and Wing Attack and Fly are excellent options for Flying-type Pokemon like Bombirdier.

The second Charged Move slot can comfortably go to Aerial Ace thanks to its low energy cost and STAB.
