Bombirdier (Japanese: オトシドリ Otoshidori) is a dual-type Flying/Dark Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
Bombirdier is a white avian Pokémon resembling a stork. It has black slanted eyes, a long pink beak with a rounded bump on the tip, and a small fan-like crest on the back of its head. It has a long neck and long pink legs, with three toes facing forward and one toe facing backward on each foot. Its claws are black, as does the feathers on the tips of its wings, on its lower body, and on the inside of its tail, which has a squared end.
Hanging from the base of Bombirdier's neck is a long white apron made of its own shed feathers, which droops down past its legs. When flying, Bombirdier grabs the end of this apron, which it uses to gather food, such as Basculin, and bring them to its nest. Bombirdier also gathers various objects in its apron, which it then drops from high places for fun. It particularly enjoys dropping objects that cause loud noises.
A giant Bombirdier, known as the Open Sky Titan, is one of the Titan Pokémon found in the Paldea region.

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 objects to attack instead. This tool usage also bears semblance to the Egyptian vultures's technique of dropping stones on ostrich eggs to crack them.
Name origin
Bombirdier may be a combination of bombardier and bird.
Otoshidori may be a combination of 落とし otoshi (to drop) and 鳥 tori (bird).
