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 until 8 PM local time on Sunday, November 17. After the event, Dynamax Drilbur will continue to appear in Max Battles, albeit less frequently, likely appearing 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 winning a Max Battle. This dual rarity makes it a highly sought-after addition for dedicated collectors.
Can You Solo Dynamax Drilbur Max Battles in Pokémon GO?
Dynamax Drilbur Max Battles are 1-star difficulty. Unlike challenging battles against Falinks or Gigantax, solo victories are achievable. However, teaming up with friends significantly increases your success rate. Utilize your strongest Dynamax Pokémon and exploit type advantages for an easier win and capture.
Suggested Counters for Dynamax Drilbur Max Battles
Drilbur's Ground-type weakness makes Grass and Water-type Pokémon ideal counters. While Ice-types are also effective, the lack of currently available Dynamax Ice-type Pokémon limits their use in Max Battles.
Here are recommended Dynamax Pokémon (using their evolved forms for maximum power, but less evolved forms 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 optimal results, create a team of three Water and/or Grass-type Pokémon to ensure a strong counter for any situation. Remember to maximize your Max Moves for quick victories.
With these strategies, catching Dynamax Drilbur should be straightforward, even for solo players.
Pokémon GO is available now on mobile devices.
