Trivia

Origin

Bombirdier may be based on a white stork. In European folklore, white storks are believed to be responsible for delivering babies to new parents by dropping them down chimneys; Bombirdier's design plays with this trope by having the Pokémon drop various heavy objects on the heads of people and Pokémon with the objects being intended as weapons instead of gifts or new offspring.

Name origin

Bombirdier may derive from bombardier and bird.
