Drilbur's Dynamax Debut in Pokémon GO

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, as part of the Simply Groundbreaking event. Increased encounter rates lasted until 8 PM local time on Sunday, November 17. After the event, Dynamax Drilbur will continue to appear in Max Raids, albeit less frequently, at Power Spots and potentially during Max Mondays.

Shiny Dynamax Drilbur?

Yes! A Shiny Dynamax Drilbur is a possibility after a successful Max Raid battle, making it a highly sought-after prize.

Soloing Dynamax Drilbur Raids

Dynamax Drilbur Max Raids are 1-star difficulty. Unlike challenging raids featuring Falinks or Gigantax, solo completion is achievable. However, teaming up with friends significantly increases your success rate. Utilize your strongest Dynamax Pokémon and exploit type advantages for optimal results.

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 evolved forms for maximum power, but less evolved versions may still suffice):

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 Raids, build 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 quicker victory.

Pokémon GO is available now on mobile devices.
