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 appearance rates lasted until 8 PM local time on Sunday, November 17. While its appearance rate will decrease after the event, it's expected to remain available 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, making it a highly sought-after prize.

Soloing Dynamax Drilbur Max Raids

Dynamax Drilbur is a 1-star Max Raid. This means soloing the battle is achievable, unlike more challenging raids featuring Falinks or Gigantax. However, teaming up with friends will significantly increase your chances of success. Utilizing powerful Dynamax Pokémon and exploiting type advantages is crucial for a quick victory.

Recommended Counters

Drilbur is a Ground-type Pokémon. Therefore, Grass and Water-type Pokémon are highly effective counters. While Ground-types are 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):

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 is always available. Remember to maximize your Max Moves for a faster victory.

Pokémon GO is available now on mobile devices.
