How To Get Dynamax Drilbur in Pokemon GO

Dynamax Drilbur Arrives in Pokémon GO: Your Guide to Catching This Ground-Type Pokémon

Dynamax Drilbur has burrowed its way into Pokémon GO, and this guide will help you successfully add it to your collection.

Dynamax Drilbur's Debut

Dynamax Drilbur appeared in Pokémon GO Max Raids starting at 10 AM local time on Friday, November 15, 2024. It featured prominently during the Simply Groundbreaking event, running from November 15th to 8 PM local time on November 17th. After the event, while less frequent, Dynamax Drilbur will likely continue to appear in Max Raids at Power Spots and during Max Mondays.

Shiny Dynamax Drilbur?

Yes! A Shiny Dynamax Drilbur is a possibility after a successful Max Raid battle. This makes it a particularly sought-after prize for dedicated trainers.

Soloing Dynamax Drilbur Max Raids

Dynamax Drilbur is a 1-star Max Raid, making solo completion achievable. However, teaming up with friends simplifies the battle significantly. 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 Raids.

Here are some top Dynamax Pokémon recommendations (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 Max Raids, build a team of three Water and/or Grass-type Pokémon to ensure a strong and adaptable lineup. Remember to maximize your Max Moves for a quicker victory.

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

Pokémon GO is available now on mobile devices.
