What is it useful for?
While not top tier, Bombirdier is somewhat useful in Great League and Ultra League, with the potential to be even more useful in certain cups. If you plan on using Bombirdier in Ultra League, it can get very close to 2500 CP at level 40, however, XL candies are recommended if you want it to have optimal IVs. Bombirdier’s best moveset in Great League and Ultra League is + / Payback.
For raids, Bombirdier isn’t very good, however, it’s useable if you don’t have anything better.
How many players do I need?
Bombirdier can be soloed if you have a strong team. If you aren’t sure how strong your team is or if you simply want the raid to go faster, I recommend raiding with at least one other person.
What counters should I use?
Bombirdier is a Dark type Pokémon that is weak to Rock, Electric, Ice, and Fairy type attacks.
Best Bombirdier counters:
*Legacy move
†The shadow form is even stronger if you have one!
Good Bombirdier Counters:

‡A Meteorite is required to teach Rayquaza the move Dragon Ascent.
