Dynamax Drilbur Discovered in Pokemon GO

Dynamax Drilbur Arrives in Pokémon GO: A Comprehensive Guide

Dynamax Drilbur has burrowed its way into Pokémon GO, and this guide will help you successfully capture this powerful Pokémon.

Dynamax Drilbur's Debut

Dynamax Drilbur appeared in Pokémon GO starting at 10 AM local time on Friday, November 15, 2024, as part of the Simply Groundbreaking event. It had increased appearance rates in Max Battles during the event, running until 8 PM local time on Sunday, November 17. After the event, it will continue to appear in Max Battles, albeit less frequently, joining the regular rotation at Power Spots and potentially during Max Mondays.

Shiny Dynamax Drilbur?

Yes! A Shiny Dynamax Drilbur is a possibility after winning a Max Battle, making 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. While soloing is possible, teaming up with friends simplifies the process. To maximize your chances, utilize your strongest Dynamax Pokémon and exploit type advantages.

Recommended Counters

Drilbur's Ground typing makes it vulnerable to Grass and Water-type attacks. While Ice-type Pokémon are also effective, the lack of Dynamax-capable Ice types currently limits their use in Max Battles.

Here are some top Dynamax Pokémon recommendations, presented in their evolved forms for optimal power. However, even less evolved Dynamax forms of these Pokémon should still be effective:

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 types is ideal for strategic switching. Remember to maximize your Max Moves for quicker victories.

With these strategies, capturing Dynamax Drilbur should be a relatively straightforward task, even for solo players. Good luck, trainers!
