Dynamax Drilbur Arrives in Pokémon GO: Your Guide to Catching This Ground-Type Pokémon

Dynamax Drilbur has burrowed its way into Pokémon GO, and this guide will help you successfully capture this powerful Pokémon.

Dynamax Drilbur's Debut

Dynamax Drilbur appeared in Pokémon GO starting Friday, November 15, 2024, at 10 AM local time as part of the Simply Groundbreaking event. It featured prominently in Max Battles until Sunday, November 17, at 8 PM local time, providing ample opportunities for capture. While its increased appearance rate during the event has concluded, Dynamax Drilbur will likely continue to appear in Max Battles, albeit less frequently, at Power Spots and during Max Mondays.

Shiny Dynamax Drilbur

Yes! The chance to encounter a Shiny Dynamax Drilbur exists after winning a Max Battle. This makes it a particularly sought-after prize for dedicated collectors.

Soloing Dynamax Drilbur Max Battles

Dynamax Drilbur Max Battles are rated 1-star, making solo completion feasible. However, teaming up with friends can significantly simplify the battle. To maximize your chances, utilize your strongest Dynamax Pokémon and exploit type advantages.

Recommended Counters for Dynamax Drilbur

Drilbur's Ground-type weakness makes Grass and Water-type Pokémon ideal counters. While Ice-type Pokémon are also effective, the lack of currently available Dynamax Ice-types limits their use in Max Battles.

Here are some top Dynamax Pokémon recommendations (using their evolved forms for optimal power, though less evolved forms may still suffice):

Pokémon	Suggested Moveset
Dynamax Blastoise	Water Gun Hydro Cannon
Dynamax Venusaur	Vine Whip Frenzy Plant
Dynamax Rillaboom	Razor Leaf Grass Knot
Dynamax Inteleon	Water Gun Surf

For Max Battles, a team of three Water and/or Grass-type Pokémon is recommended for optimal coverage. Remember to maximize your Max Moves for a quicker victory.

With these strategies, capturing Dynamax Drilbur should be a manageable task, even for solo players. Good luck, trainers!
