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 successfully capture 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. While its frequency will decrease after the event, Dynamax Drilbur is expected to remain available in Max Battles, appearing at Power Spots and potentially during Max Mondays.

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 trainers.

Solo Max Battles?

Dynamax Drilbur Max Battles are rated 1-star, making solo victories achievable. However, teaming up with friends simplifies the challenge. For optimal success, utilize your strongest Dynamax Pokémon and exploit type advantages.

Recommended Counters

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 maximum power, but less evolved versions 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 provides excellent coverage. Remember to maximize your Max Moves for a quicker victory.

With these strategies, catching Dynamax Drilbur should be a relatively straightforward task, even for solo players.

Pokémon GO is available now on mobile devices.
