Dynamax Drilbur's Debut in Pokémon GO
Dynamax Drilbur appeared in Pokémon GO starting at 10 AM local time on Friday, November 15, 2024. It featured prominently in the Simply Groundbreaking event, running from November 15th to 8 PM local time on November 17th, increasing its appearance rate in Max Battles. Following the event, Dynamax Drilbur will likely continue to appear in Max Battles, albeit less frequently, potentially showing up at Power Spots and during Max Mondays, mirroring previous Dynamax Pokémon releases.
Can Dynamax Drilbur Be Shiny?
Yes! A Shiny Dynamax Drilbur is a possibility after a successful Max Battle. This dual rarity makes it a highly sought-after prize for dedicated collectors.
Soloing Dynamax Drilbur Max Battles
Dynamax Drilbur is a 1-star Max Battle, making solo completion achievable. However, teaming up with friends simplifies the encounter. To maximize your chances, utilize your strongest Dynamax Pokémon and exploit type advantages.
Suggested Counters for Dynamax Drilbur Max Battles
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 optimal power, though 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 Battles, a team of three Water and/or Grass-type Pokémon ensures a strong and adaptable lineup. Remember to maximize your Max Moves for a quick victory.
With these strategies, catching Dynamax Drilbur should be significantly easier, even for solo players.
Pokémon GO is available now on mobile devices.
