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

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

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 lasted until 8 PM local time on Sunday, November 17, 2024. After the event, Dynamax Drilbur will continue to appear in Max Battles, albeit less frequently, at Power Spots and potentially during Max Mondays, similar to previous Dynamax Pokémon releases.

Shiny Dynamax Drilbur

Yes! A Shiny Dynamax Drilbur is a possibility after winning a Max Battle, making it a highly sought-after prize for dedicated collectors.

Soloing Dynamax Drilbur Max Battles

Dynamax Drilbur is a 1-star Max Battle, meaning solo victory is achievable. However, teaming up with friends can significantly increase your success rate. Utilize your strongest Dynamax Pokémon and exploit type advantages for an easier win.

Recommended Counters for Dynamax Drilbur

Drilbur's Ground-type weakness makes Grass and Water-type Pokémon ideal counters. While Ground is also 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 optimal results, create a team of three Water and/or Grass-type Pokémon to ensure a strong counter is always available. Remember to maximize your Max Moves for a quick victory!

Pokémon GO is available now on mobile devices.
