If you’ve playedPokemon ScarletorViolet,you may be familiar with Bombirdier. ThisPokemonis one of the Titans in those titles, and considering all the Paldean creatures that have arrived inGo, it’s no surprise Trainers want to get hold of one. If you’ve been playing since Gen 9Pokemonwere added toPokemon Go, you may have noticed that Bombirdier is nowhere to be found. But fear not; that’s about to change. Let me show you how to get Bombirdier inPokemon Goand if it can be Shiny.
How to get Bombirdier inPokemon Go– Can it be Shiny?
At the time of writing, Bombirdier isn’t available, but you won’t have to wait long to get one. Bombirdier will be revealed during theUltra Unlock: Paldeaevent, which runs betweenSeptember 10, 2023, and June 24, 2025. Bombirdier will feature in 3 Star Raids along with Kleavor and Turtonator during the event.
Can Bombirdier be Shiny inPokemon Go?
Every Bombirdier you catch has a small chance of being Shiny. The odds are stacked against Trainers here, as you only have a roughly 1.6% chance of coming across one. You’ll have to get extremely lucky to catch a Shiny Bombirdier, but Raid rates are still better than wild spawns with their meager 0.2%.
Are any other RaidPokemonavailable during the Ultra Unlock: Paldea event?
The full lineup for RaidPokemonis as follows:
One-Star Raids
Three-Star Raids
Five-Star Raids
The Five Star raids are unique as they are available at different times depending on your location. From September 1 to September 8, Trainers in the North Hemisphere will find Kartana Raids, and Trainers in the South will find Celesteela. These locations swap from September 9 until September 16. On top of the Raids, some WildPokemonspawns have been adjusted. If you’re after the Paldean Starters, Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly, they are much more common during the event.
What if I miss Bombirdier during the Ultra Unlock: Paldea event?
Niantic often locks newPokemonbehind time-limited events, but they usually come back after a short while. We can’t say when Bombardier will return or in what capacity, but the Ultra Unlock: Paldea event won’t be the only time Bombirdier is available.
The addition of Gen 9Pokemonhas seen many Trainers returning toPokemon Go.Depending on how long you’ve been away, you may be unaware of some newer additions to the game. If you’re unsure what Gold Pokestops do,check out our guide.
