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 add it to your collection.

Dynamax Drilbur's Debut

Dynamax Drilbur appeared in Pokémon GO starting at 10 AM local time on Friday, November 15, 2024, as part of the Simply Groundbreaking event. Increased appearance rates in Max Battles continued until 8 PM local time on Sunday, November 17. After the event, Dynamax Drilbur will still be available in Max Battles, albeit less frequently, likely appearing at Power Spots and during Max Mondays.

Shiny Dynamax Drilbur?

Yes! A Shiny Dynamax Drilbur is a possibility after winning a Max Battle. This makes it a particularly coveted prize for dedicated collectors.

Soloing Dynamax Drilbur Max Battles

Dynamax Drilbur is a 1-star Max Battle, making solo completion achievable. However, teaming up with friends can further simplify the encounter. For optimal success, 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 evolved forms for maximum power, but less evolved versions should 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 provides flexibility and ensures a strong counter for any situation. Remember to maximize your Max Moves for a quick victory.

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

Pokémon GO is available now on mobile devices.
