Catch Dynamax Drilbur in Pokémon GO: A Comprehensive Guide

Dynamax Drilbur has arrived in Pokémon GO, and this guide will walk you through catching this powerful Pokémon.

Dynamax Drilbur's Debut

Dynamax Drilbur appeared in Pokémon GO Max Raids starting at 10 AM local time on Friday, November 15, 2024. It featured prominently during the Simply Groundbreaking event, running until 8 PM local time on Sunday, November 17. After the event, it will continue to appear in Max Raids, albeit less frequently, similar to previous Dynamax Pokémon. Expect to find it at Power Spots and during Max Mondays.

Shiny Dynamax Drilbur

Yes! A Shiny Dynamax Drilbur is a possibility after a successful Max Raid battle. This makes it a highly sought-after prize for dedicated collectors.

Soloing Dynamax Drilbur Max Raids

Dynamax Drilbur is a 1-star Max Raid, making solo completion achievable. However, teaming up with friends significantly increases your chances of success.

For optimal results, utilize your strongest Dynamax Pokémon and exploit type advantages.

Recommended Counters

Drilbur is a Ground-type Pokémon; therefore, Grass and Water-type Pokémon are highly effective counters. While Ground-types are weak to Ice, currently no Dynamax-capable Ice-types are available.

Here are some top Dynamax Pokémon recommendations (using their evolved forms for maximum power):

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 Raids, build a team of three Water and/or Grass-type Pokémon for optimal flexibility. Remember to maximize your Max Moves for quicker victories.

With these strategies, capturing Dynamax Drilbur should be significantly easier, even solo.

Pokémon GO is available now on mobile devices.
