How To Get Dynamax Drilbur in Pokemon GO

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 continued until 8 PM local time on Sunday, November 17, 2024. After the event, Dynamax Drilbur will still appear in Max Battles, but less frequently, likely joining the regular rotation at Power Spots and during Max Mondays.

Shiny Dynamax Drilbur?

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

Solo Max Battles?

Dynamax Drilbur Max Battles are 1-star difficulty. Unlike tougher battles featuring Falinks or Gigantax, solo victories are achievable. However, teaming up with friends will significantly increase your chances of success. Utilize your strongest Dynamax Pokémon and exploit type advantages for a smoother battle.

Recommended Counters

Drilbur is a Ground-type Pokémon, making Grass and Water-type Pokémon effective 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, but less evolved forms should still be viable):

Pokemon	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, create a team of three Water and/or Grass types to ensure a strong counter is always available. Remember to maximize your Max Moves for quick victories.

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

Pokémon GO is available now on mobile devices.
